Got out of bed this morning to go to the bathroom.  Reached for my crutches.  Started to shift my grip on the right crutch.  It slipped out of my grasp somehow, toppled towards me where I couldn't catch it because it was on the wrong side of my arm, dropped with something of the determined momentum of a felled tree, and hit with a single point of contact ... directly across the bridge of my right foot.

OW.

Yeah, good morning to you too, world.

I think this is correct.  I'm reasonably certain that when I drove east in 2005, when leaving Utah I passed through Colorado then swung north into Nebraska, going through Lincoln, rather than continuing east through Kansas and Missouri.  I'm reasonably sure I did not ever actually enter Michigan.  However, I'm not 100% certain whether in 2002, we passed through the southern portion of Arkansas or the northern part of Louisiana.

I ordered a copy of Ayreon's new CD, 01011001, recently and paid for it (via Paypal) in Euros, not really giving it a second thought.  Today I updated transaction records in my accounts, and registered the amount in US dollars payPal sourced to meet the exchange rate.

This was the point at which I realized, in a tangible sense, that the US dollar has lost half of its value against the Euro since the last time I bought a CD from Europe.  It wasn't all that long ago.
