TODAY'S COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION FEATURE:
What Makes Your Head Hurt?
|
For some people it's the policies of the new Romney/Ryan ticket or the latest from FAUX news, for me it's also a literal BONK on the head today.
Friday night, I was preparing feverishly for our SFKossacks Tim Delaney Oyster FIGbash today. (See my tip jar.) One of the items on my check list was staging our largest ice chest which lives on top of our Vinotemp in the garage. Our garage is packed with 56 years of accumulating stuff. While pulling the massive ice chest off, a bicycle-airline-wheel case weighing about 30 lbs. slipped off its ceiling hook and fell on my forehead. I dropped to the ground dazed. I iced immediately and took a bunch of arnica. It didn't bruise but man is it sore and swollen. I felt very slow afterward and the next day. Especially when trying to read and write pieces for our First Nations News & Views which will post today at 4PM Pacific. (Please stop by! Tip your waitress!)
I felt like this immediately afterward and all the next day:
I hate being stupider than normal... Yeah... just passin' by, um. Just passin' by...
One benefit is that my nose is more Indian looking, so that's cool.
