Agreed.



How's the arm? You're in earthquake country, and KCET has probably
shown "Surviving the big one" a hundred times. WHEN are you going to
start carrying an earthquake kit with some barleysugar tablets? If you're
not driving, a small back pack still makes sense - or a freakin FANNY
pack if nothing else.

Hope things get better

Not too bad. My back's worse. For those of you wondering, I'm Type II
Diabetic, and Saturday I passed out from low sugar while trying to get
some fast food lusers to GIVE ME THAT FOOD NOW. I broke the ball in
the socket of my right arm, and wrenched my back.

Is it _getting_ worse, or was it just worse than the arm?

Like Mike says, "change your luck supplier". The one you have now is
not meeting specs. I've got an idea how the back must feel, I blew
mine moving a desk (workers comp!!!) the day I was RIFed from NASA.
It got rehab'ed, but is now much more sensitive to screw ups. Can't
sling the bodies over the shoulder to take them out to the tar pit
any more - gotta use a hand truck.

I see all the advise you're getting in the other place, and I know you
are trying to be careful, but get that earthquake preparedness kit, and
make sure it's got the right stuff in it. We've been gone from NorCal
for 7 years now, but there are still kits in each vehicle, and the water
gets replaced every 90 days, the food items every six months. In our case,
Loma Prieta was a good teacher. Even if all you can carry is a small
fanny pack, get _something_ - we don't need you scaring the lusers in that
fashion. There are better ways to take them out, even if there are no
raised floors in MacBurger-in-a-bag... onna stick... what ever.
