I might be one of them. Some people actually think the Seminole Indians were the ones that greeted Ponce.

I was looking at them and went all Homer Simpson on them.
Good question. About 5 years ago I stepped off the backside of the driveway at a friends house. It was dark but I knew the drop was only about 3 or 4 feet so I didn't sweat it. When I looked down I saw the toe of my left shoe catch a big rock and my foot supinated to the point I could see the sole of my shoe.
People asked if I was alright and I told them that I thought I had broken my leg. Someone said they didn't hear it break and I said I didn't either. I grabbed my ankle and my shin and gave it a bend to see if it was loose and nothing moved. That was when I decided nothing was broken. I climbed back up and walked to my wife's car and told her I was ready to go home and get my ankle on ice.
Next morning it was swollen huge and the pain was nearly unbearable and I have a very high tolerance. I read and was told that a high ankle sprain is more painful than a break and I surmised that that was what I had because the pain was unreal at times.
I continued to walk on it and would bend it all around while sitting on the couch to keep it from being stiff when it healed. After a month or so I was able to walk without a limp but still with pain. Another week or so I was able to walk without a limp and without pain but the problem was I couldn't raise myself up on the toes of my left foot. I figured there must be some nerve damage and it was then that I decided to see a doctor.
Told them what happened and my problem and they took some xrays. My ankle, in their words, was "shattered".It was broke in 3 places and the large bone was dislocated a 1/4".
Doctor couldn't understand how I was walking on it. He wanted to re-break it and put screws in it but I said no. He was pissed and told me to at least wear an air cast for the next six weeks. I did that and everything works fine now. No pain, no limp, full mobility.
I said all that to say this. It's probably worse than you think it is but why wonder? You have insurance. Use a little bit of it and find out exactly what you're dealing with and the best way to treat it.
Ole Ponce was a pretty good dude. Liked him. FCC.
JED, the evidence is over-whelming that you should go to a doctor and be looked at. Please do that. That deal needs to be stabilized at once. Untreated, it may heal crooked or something. You have great insurance. Use it. Farm the lawn mowing out until you are well. A boot is in your future.

That steam engine is almost 100 years old.
jedwar a visit to a Dr. is the smart move. Sounds like you are very compromised, now see a doctor. Best of luck!
Hard-headed man.
My 1st cousin is in the storage business. He says that there is never anything of value left in abandoned storage spaces. Storage wars isn't real.
First time Cal has had a recruit decommit.

We'll get a better player than DJ Jeffries. That backing out stuff smells bad. Real bad.
Memphis bound probably. Penny may snag Wiseman too.
So DJ Jeffries decommited
Not really concerned but I do think Penny is playing dirty

Oh yeah and @jedwar
Go to the doctor!!!

Yes it does Don. Smells like a dead rat
I bet it’s within the rules, technically...but definitely some unethical stuff going on
I bet Coach Cal lays off recruiting in the Memphis area because of what can happen in that city and in neighboring states. We really do not need anybody from there because we can select great players from other areas
"He was just basically motivating me."
I pretty much hate a liar.

I was going to post a pic of a dead rat but it's too disgusting and it is dinnertime for some of us.
It smells like money.
It does stink to high heaven
Jeffries is not exactly the recruit we need to be concerned about; Wiseman is
Shady but probably technically within the rules
Ghost is a sad panda this evening. Anna was picked up before I could leave work. Her Nana told me her tears were like raindrops, they were so large. We're headed to Port Canaveral Saturday before our cruise leaves out Monday so I won't see Anna again until mid August...just in time for her to start kindergarten the following week!
No worries tho. Her two cousins (boys) arrive Friday with their other "cousin" (we're Southerners, EVERYBODY is family!) so we're going to have 3 rambunctious little boys in the house. Thankfully, it's only an overnight stay!
Nana has all the pix on her phone, so I have to figure out a way to get them to my FB account so I can share them here. Going to see if I can link the video of Anna and I being gandy dancers at the train museum in Savannah! (The guide referred to the workers as section hands, Anna and I preferred gandy dancers!)

I made some clarified butter last night. Haven't used any of it yet.
Made a keto pizza this morning. It was so good. 4 eggs mixed with 6oz of mozzarella cheese is the crust. Bake that until it's set and then take it out and put on sauce, oregano, red pepper flakes,parmesan, pepperoni, and a good drizzle of Tuscan Herb olive oil. About 4 grams of carbs in the whole pizza. It's gone now.
I watched Boondock Saints today for the first time. Pretty good flick. Now I found out there is a 2 and 3.
Going with Dad tomorrow to his mothers grave and my mothers. Were going to put flowers on both.

The original Tolly-Ho in Lexington circa 1985.
Have fun on your cruise.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 82°F. Expecting some some beautiful, precious rain later this morning. May see 96°F later today.
It's been a long, hot month. Glad it's nearly over.
Y'all behave.

Morning D. Salutations from the shanty.

Good Morning D
8/8/18For those that have cut cable, what is your bill per month now? What does it include?
Good morning D-Leaguers, it is third cup of coffee time and the living is easy.
Temp is currently 72 degrees with a high of 83 forecast. Expect Gulf breezes and lots of sunshine. I expect the Devil will beat his wife about 4:00 because he usually does that time of day.
I noticed my Concealed Carry Permit expired so I need to take care of that this morning.
Don't accept any wooden nickles today and love your neighbor, not his wife. Except if.....

When I cut my cable and $190.00 per month bill, I got three Roku sticks and plugged them in. There is no monthly fees with that. I purchased an antenna but since I live 60 miles from the nearest TV tower that didn't work.
I have Amazon Prime so I get there movies. I would have Amazon Prime without the movie service. So no real cost with that. My wife loves music and it came with Pandora and a few other music channels all free so the wife was happy.
About three months after I cut the cable I received a call from Spectrum offering me a deal. I told them I was not interested. Then I got a flyer in the mail telling me I could have 10 channels they pick and I could pick 10 more for a cost of $21.00 a month. That included local stations, cable news, cable sports (including SEC Network) and a few odds and end stations that appeal to the women folks. I also get a lot of movie channels that stream free.
So I pay $21.00 a month plus tax of $2.49 or about $25.00.
70° F here and humidity of 96%. I hope it rains good today, the clouds are up there.
@jedwar Jerry go to the doctor.
Old Ponce was an ass I thought.
His parents were not here and he acted bad. We could not tell his parents on him, so it was bad, bad, bad!

Yep, Ponce pushed the envelop too far and ended up with an arrow in his gut. He got on his boat and left everything behind. But that arrow got him when he landed on Cuba. You can visit his grave in the Catholic Church in Old San Juan.70° F here and humidity of 96%. I hope it rains good today, the clouds are up there.
