A few more things off my plate (Saturday)

[cjsmith]

After several useless attempts, found a geocache that a) I could get to on these @#$!ing useless feet, and b) was big enough to hold an annoyingly large Travel Bug. Deposited said Travel Bug. Uploaded photos and logged it. BOY is it a relief to get that thing out of my hands. There's nothing like foot surgery to make a person forget about geocaching for a while. There's nothing like knowing foot surgery didn't work and you are now a permanent gimp and there will be no cure, ever to make a person forget about little crap like travel bugs for a while. Too bad that all happened while I was in possession of a bug. If I am smart I will never pick one of those up again.

Also, took down Christmas decorations.

Also, bought a copy of Fortune magazine for its 2006 investment picks and economic predictions. (Hey, survivalists: even Fortune is talking about peak oil.) Utterly failed to do anything useful with Fortune magazine, except I did enjoy tearing out every card and every sheet of paper having nothing but ads. I don't know why that's such a ritual with me, and only with a big ol' yearly-investment-guide issue of Fortune, but I enjoy it, so what the hey.

Ditto! Even if I don't necessarily believe the "sudden crash" version is inevitable, that it will be more like a slow adjustment, it's still quite sobering.

No cure, ever? That seems... well, unlikely. Granted, I know zip about your malady, but one imagines that technology can progress, especially given that extraordinarily wealthy people (such as quarterbacks) really like having working feet, too.

I suspect if I were a quarterback I'd have working feet.

Travel Bug??

It's very fun! I will stick with just plain geocaching for a while since my feet are so messed up, but it was enjoyable to move a couple of travel bugs around!

Yeah, I bet you're right. I can't help thinking that the existence of quarterbacks has to be a strong motivator for foot repair technology to advance quickly.
