Big Sharp Rocks With A Cement Slurry Poured Between Them

Does that sound like what you want to fall on if you lose your balance on the bike path?

My buddy lost control of his bike and had to be lifeflighted to La Jolla on a helicopter.

UPDATE i just spoke with steve

Steve has 8 broken ribs, a broken sternum. the nibs broke off a vertebrae, separated shoulder, bad scrapes and lacerations, stitches on his forehead and a brand new smartphone that's no longer functioning with its shattered screen

 

We went East to the Mission today instead of to the beach

Mission San Luis Rey Founded in 1798

There were 21 missions built by the monks north to south in California back when it was just the natives and the church trying to religify them. They were the beginning of The King's Highway, El Camino Real. The monks dropped mustard seed on their route between missions and the yellow mustard plants marked the way from mission to mission.

Please say a prayer for Steve. Ribs take a long time to heal when you're 65

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
