How's your recovery going?

Some blood in the interior of my eye made my view like 'looking through mud'. And since the other eye is useless, I was effectively blind for over two weeks.
Still can't drive but it has cleared up considerably.
I don't have anything good to say about old age but at least I've gotten there. Two of my friends, younger than I, recently passed and won't get there.
I hope everything is good with you.

Does anyone use the search engine Opera? Any pros or cans or tips to make it better. I generally use google but I am looking around to see what is available.

I watched Avatar... The Way of the Water last night... or should I say Moby Dick on another planet? Wonderful CGI technology but evidently future humans are so evil the universe should be hoping for an early Nuclear War. What is the plot of the next Avatar based on? Maybe they'll step up and go with something more adult like Between Planets by Heinlein, Ooo Ooo Ooo I know! How about Oliver Twist? Naw too complex.

I had a personal experience tuesday morning at about 05:00...
I was driving to the Walgreens pharmacy due to an intense sinus headache, planning on buying some Nyquil. I knew I was sick but all of a sudden i became severely nauseous and stopped the jeep to get out and lose my cookies. I woke up lying on the pavement beside a huge puddle of upchuck, i looked up at the sky and saw the beautiful stars but I was too weak to get up.
I was on my back in the middle of the busiest intersection in my city, I slowly got up and scanned my surroundings. I was in the middle of the intersection of two 4 lane streets, strip malls and street lights all around me where shining bright... but no cars, no humans, nothing but neon lights and sodium vapor lights as far as the eye could see!This was one of the oddest experiences I ever had made even more surreal by the total lack of other humans. Suddenly I felt like i was at the start some sort of apocalyptic Science fiction movie. Really strange, As I slowly stood up to climb back in my jeep I thought how great it would be if a cop showed up.
really odd to wake up laying in the city's busiest intersection and see no other humans.

Beecee, as soon as you get to 2022, tell us about it. I'm not taking any chances.

I'm getting better but the pain is still mentally crippling.

Behind every opportunity is a disaster in waiting.

I got a major award today (plaque, not a sexy leg-lamp) for my "staunch defense of USNO's interests" in a project I'm working on

Yeah, I felt bad for him when they showed him crying after the game.
Penalties have always been a crappy way to decide a game, but it's better than a coin toss.
For me, there was no losers. Both teams played to their strengths, and I thoroughly enjoyed the match.
Judging by the Copa America, South American national teams aren't going to be a big threat in next year's World Cup, so who knows, we might see a replay of this match next winter.

Anyone interested in beta reading some short stories?
I've a number of sci-fi stories that could benefit from a good critique from a scientifically literate audience. I'll be looking to get them published in various places - Nature Futures would be the dream.
If you're interested or have any questions ask here or PM me.

I hope Spain isn't as 'embarassed' by Switzerland as France was, come friday, Joigus.
France could have stood their entire team across the front of the net, for the last ten mnutes, and they would have won. How bad ( arrognt ) do you have to be to let the Swiss come back from a 2 goal deficit in less than 10 min.Belgium has a few of its 'superstars' injured, and R Lukaku will be controlled by Italy's excellent defense, Prometheus.
