my leg really hurts

"it has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues." - abraham lincoln








this morning the neighbor's dog came into the yard and grabbed our groundhog in her mouth, shook it side to side and left it for dead. it wasn't really our groundhog, so to speak, but it was always in the yard cleaning the fallen apples. groundhogs are pretty cute to watch, but now that one's dead. later, on a bike ride, my leg became increasingly painful with each mile i pedaled, like it was caught in a vise that was being turned slowly. during my five hours in the emergency room, i thought about how one of the best tools in the shop is the vise. i never stuck a groundhog, a dog, or any animal for that matter, in the vise when i was younger, but i did stick, on several occasions, inanimate objects in there to be beaten mercilessly by a hammer. i wish the neighbor's dog would come chew my leg off.

lunar myth

there's only a few reasons you might be reading this: you stumbled on (most unlikely). i have some connection to you (most likely). you're a potential employer (most curious). thank you all for stopping by.

the comic above is by peter bagge @ 2001. (that's copyright 2001).
i would include this page (edited strictly for learning purposes, if need be) in a lesson on the moon and lunar myths. you can click on the comic to make it larger for reading. please feel free to look around while you're here.
