It seems there are calls for cyclists to take a test like car drivers.:laugh:

Does that mean pedestrians will have to take a test, car drivers and passengers will have to wear crash helmets and high his outerwear. This smells of sour grapes to me. Lots of cyclists are also drivers so would they have to take another test? Utter tosh:laugh:

I passed my Cycling Proficiency Test... does that count ;)

Feliz cumpleanos Dave 7.
Went for my echocardiogram yesterday and had a nice chat with the Doc who said since l have had AFIB since at least 2008 it will not respond to any of the methods used to restore normal rhythm, but it seems to be at the same level of intensity. However, there is a small ventricle on the left side of the heart that likes to stay full of blood which later clots and thereby generating a stroke. There is a procedure which uses a plug to close off this ventricle and we will see if my insurance will cover the process. If so, since this bad, nasty ventricle is the cause of 95% of strokes for AFIB folks, I will be able to discontinue using my anticoagulant. That would be good, since anticoagulants cause brain bleeds and simply bleeding to deathin the case of an accident. Ironic that medicines which prevent one thing from killing us can themselves kill us too.
It is snowing now and will until early morning tomorrow. No biggie....we don'thave to go anywhere.
Be safe and well.

Blowing 50+ mph out there at the moment.
Tomorrow's looking OK but then it's back with a vengeance on Friday with 83 mph winds forecast here. :eek:
MOD NOTE:
It has been drawn to our attention that some Members are posting details/clues about the day's Wordle puzzle. :cursing::cry:
While this is great for those who have already done it, it doesn't help (it actually spoils the day) for those who do the puzzle later in the day.

So, for the benefit of all the Retirees (and maybe some of the younger ones too ...) please restrict your posts about Wordle to "I did it in 2 today" (or however many it took you ... :scratch:) and avoid giving any clues for those who have yet to face their biggest challenge of the day !

Thank you.

He's always been a truble maker. We should put him in the stocks for a few hours, but he might like it.

Wasn't me! Honest gov.:laugh:

Do we have to be careful with mentioning football results and spoilers for tv programs too . 😂😂😂

Sorry but I feel this is a complete overreaction to a very minor problem that didn’t need a intervention. 🙁🙁🙁🙁
