Free bike-rack day! Second in awesomeness only to free bike day!

I just got one of these
for free. And it fits on the Acura. Awesome. (Thanks Caleb and Stephanie!)

Iowet

So Iowa is largely flooded. Luckily my extended family all pulled through without too horrible of a time.

The wedding was fun. Bryan and Stacie seem like they're a great couple. I caught the garter belt, despite my best efforts not to. That means I'm supposed to be the next one to get married. Don't know about that.

God I hate this commercial

But I love it slowed down.

Dericious!

Fast forward to :50.

Why don't I place this on your table?

wowee

good lord

Darts....kinda

DB's isn't quite like this. But almost, sometimes.

Apocalypse Update

A guy just called into the local news. A Marine Corps veteran that has seen "hundreds of oil fields on fire simultaneously" in Kuwait, and said that the fire burning right now at the petroleum plant is "the largest burnoff he's ever seen." Also, the smoke plume from the fire now looks enough like a tornado that the news anchor is clarifying that this is not the case.... at least not yet. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns into a huge fire-tornado, spinning all over Kansas City, throwing embers all over the city and leaving in its wake burnt out buildings that conceal new baby pup fire coyotes.

Apocalypse

Wow. So the skies have opened up above us. Tremendous amounts of rain, thunder, and lightning for quite a while. Thunder shaking the windows. Quarter-sized hail. Rotations suggestive of tornado formation. All while it's still bright and sunny outside. And then, 9.1 miles from my house, lightning struck an oil plant and started it on fire. It's a huge billowing fireball and a cloud of dark smoke drifting way into the air over downtown.

Man.

How come...

...everything cool I'd want to do has already been done?

Surgery!

So yesterday, I went to clinic and saw patients with Dr. Moncure.

And today, I scrubbed in for the first time ever.

And made incisions into an anesthetized patient.

And inserted a veres needle and trocar.

And sutured up the incision afterwards.

AWESOME.

Our small group

I just stumbled across this picture of our small group that we had to take for the yearbook or something. Thought I'd post it people could see some of the other future doctors I go to school with.

Road Rash pt. 2

Wow I'm sore today.

Road Rash

Well, I crashed tonight.

Alex and I were riding back to his house after DB Cooper's, because he had promised me the best sandwich in the world, made from some steak that Took, his Thai (former) nanny had made for him. It was raining a little bit, and yet it was a beautiful warm summer night. A great night for a ride. So, just for fun, I locked up for a fun rainy skid. I was going way, way too fast to do this safely. I fishtailed for a while and almost recovered it, but finally lost control. I ended up falling straight back onto the road, smashing my hip, elbow, back, and (maybe) head onto the asphalt. After the wipeout, I lay there a while trying to analyze everything before I moved. Nothing hurt too badly. I will probably have a U-lock shaped bruise on my backside, from where the lock was stuffed into the back of my jeans. I got some road rash on the back of my right arm. My neck hurt a bit afterwards, and my head felt a bit tender on the back, but now it doesn't seem to hurt much (maybe due to the ibuprofen). Hopefully, the tricep scrape/scar will be the only residual consequence. All in all, it could've been much, MUCH worse. I was pretty lucky.

Lesson: I should wear a helmet, even if I'm only going for a short casual ride.

Also, the sandwich was probably worth it. It was a damn good sandwich.
