- . . . like you want to explode, and you don't know why?
- . . . like everything you touch breaks?
- . . . like you want to stop the universe and start a new movie?
Ever figure out what to DO about it?
If so, I'd love to know the secret.

I am officially wiped out, for the moment. I just went out and ran as best I can around the pumphouse and the loop around the out-laws' house, total probably around 200 yards, perhaps a little more. By the end of that my knees were so beat I didn't think I could run any further without falling, but I spent the next 15 minutes or so working out with a bokutoh, which left me ready to drop.
I'm horribly out of condition, but it's a beginning. My running gait is a sort of controlled stagger at the moment though. I suspect my knees would last a bit longer if my ankle didn't throw my gait off so badly, but still, they're in sad shape either way. I don't know how viable running as exercise is going to be, based on this, but I plan on giving it a fair try.
21 years and $6.9 billion into its development and only three years from entering production, the RAH-66 Comanche has been cancelled. The Army intends to request that $14.6 billion earmarked for 121 Comanches up to 2011 be used instead to buy 796 Sikorsky Blackhawks and modernize 1400 other helicopters already in service.
No word on what'll happen to the technology developed for the project, the five Comanches currently on the assembly line, or the jobs of the 400 workers at the Bridgeport, CT Sikorsky plant building them, but Bridgeport ain't happy about it.
