Agreed. Well done monochromatic look, and the mining history tie-in makes it work better for them than most.

I'm tempted to contrast that reaction to this site's feelings towards the Titan's throwback Oilers unis, which are the best unis in the history of, well, unis, but I don't want to get negged into oblivion. Carry on.

Update? One of my patients went blind after getting shingles in one of their eyes.
Oh, all good. I didn't actually have shingles in the eye, just some sort of aggrivation of the middle layer of the eye that they think was likely brought on by the virus. Don't you put that eye shingles evil on me Ricky Bobby!

Jerry has lots of good advice. Stretch way more than you think you need to. Low intensity, long duration, static calf stretches, both with your knee straight and with your knee bent. The night splint might be worth every penny (also works wonders for plantar fassciitis as well). But proper stretching is the biggest key. You do NOT want that bad boy snapping on you!

That's fucking awesome. Guy was unarmed and trying to get back into his truck and be on his way and safety vest guy just unloads four rounds at him from very close range when he coulda just walked away from the Burger King. Now he gets to spend the rest of his life drinking through a straw which also functions as his wheelchair steering device. He'll claim self-defense even though that video clearly disproves that, sue the driver's company for millions, but nobody will be able to understand what he's saying, so they'll dismiss the case. Hope you felt tough in that moment buddy, 'cause you're gonna be shitting in a bag for the rest of your life.
He's dead, Jim.

The shingles vaccine talk reminded to share this little nugget. Came down with zombie eye (just one) a few weeks ago. Got in to se an opthamologist and was diagnosed with uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eye). Doc asked if I had ever had chicken pox, cold sores or shingles. D - All of the above. So, they suspect that this is yet another iteration of the herpes zoster poking up its ugly head. Antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drops and Valtrex started. Went away in a little less than a week. Doc suggested I keep taking a lower dose of Valtrex for 3 months to try to knock the herpes as far back in the nooks and crannies as possible, but eventually, we will get to do something along these lines again.
Oh, and I have had the modern shingles vaccine, so yay?

Just want to get on record as NOT being one of these new SEC trolls. Been around a long time. Not HornFans long, but Shaggy at least (was there an iteration between HF and Shaggy?). No UT connection, but a TX native, and you assholes' sense of humor works for me. I feel like a somewhat welcome foreigner around here. Kind of like this:

She needs to know proper car window ventilation protocols pre-flatulence too. My wife and daughter (no pics) can run me off the road!

That story is a crazy read, and good on them for fighting back, but who takes the time to snap that pic?

One of my old retired greyhounds used to chase down and vaporize birds that flew recklessly low to the ground. It's crazy how quickly a bird can go from being a nice little bird just minding its own business to being nothing more than a vague mess of feathers.
Didn’t see Bayou’s post with no video. I was starting to think this place was really slipping!

Also, do your ice massage in a position similar to that Thinker pose if you can, keep it on a stretch so it doesn't over tighten

its especially helpful if those first few steps hurt like a mother and loosen up pretty quickly

Yeah I don’t totally follow your instructions but I’ve been using these…
foam roller on my calf to work out knots. The band to stretch my calf.
I get a sports massage 2x a month and stretch the fuck out of my legs from my hips all the way down to my big toe. She hits all the pressure points. It’s not a resort style massage at all.
I’m getting there.
* to be fair, my heel is now like 95% okay for ordinary life, it’s playing singles tennis like I’m 30 that’s hard.
This is a tough one to remember right after waking up, but before you get up out of bed, do the "The Thinker" stretch. You know, this guy:
Scoot out on the edge of the bed, get your feet up under you as far as you can wth your heels flat on the ground, and hold an easy, steady stratch (not painful, no bouncing) for about 30 seconds before you stand up. Helps gently undo some of the overhealing that happens overnight. Also, tennis balls or aerosol can (or even better, a frozen water bottle) under your desk, where you can slip off the shoe and give yourself a massage, and towel curls - spread a towel out on the floor directly in front if you, and bunch it up under your arch over and over until it's all under your foot, then spread it back out and do it again.
Sometimes the old school remedies just work.

Thanks for the clarification, Senator Dole.

My daughter played up on an 18's team this year, so our nationals was last weekend. Feels weird being done with club season this early. Having to pay for private lessons to keep skills sharp in the gap before school tryouts later this month. I think she is enjoying the mental break, though.
