SO MANY QUESTIONS! So, just how many points do you need to win, or at least get the high score and have a chance to enter your initials? If your joints are diseased, can't you just switch to smoking a pipe or a hookah or bong or something? Paying extra for malpractice seems somehow wasteful, but what the fuck do I know about such things. I just know about nougat, and mechanical engineering, and ethanol, and UNIX systems operations... And sailing. And motorcycles, which kind of fit into other categories. Also small airplanes, but that's just a hobby and is not germane to the topic. How's the weather there? The rain seems to have suddenly stopped completely here, but I have filled all of our cisterns, which could last us several weeks... I was kind of hoping for a little more rain, as the raspberry crop looks like it;s gonna be kind of shitty this year, but the blackberries are pretty happy looking as are the citrus trees... But a paper wasp built a nest in my car, and I felt pretty bad about evicting him, after all that hard work. I need a cigarette.
