Random Non-Olympics

I have to segue into non-Olympics topics again.

On my way to pick up my daughter, there was a flashing road sign that said "Use Extreme Caution." SInce I consider myself to be an extremely cautious driver to begin with, this made me very tense. What was I supposed to do? Hold the wheel with 3 hands?

There was a sample of a South Beach Diet bar in my driveway this morning, along with the newspaper. I will not eat it. I try to have a consistent policy of not eating things that I find lying in my driveway and it's worked for me so far.

When I was a kid my uncle said he had a "trick knee." That sounded kind of jaunty and cool to me at the time. Now I can tell you that the "trick" in trick knee is a sudden intense shooting pain if you step on or off the curb the wrong way. Just one more of the nice surprises you get being an adult.
