Poor Ole Geo got checked into the hospital last night. His leg has been a problem for awhile now and he's laid up getting IV antibiotics, probably until Sunday. I just got back from seeing him. He's doing OK, please have some good thoughts for George today.

Phaedrus - I think Geo would like to see the Phillies win a few more, can you root for them?

Sure, Them too.

I'll even eat a philly cheesesteak this weekend.

Let me guess, it's an injury inflicked by some Bushy with a staplegun? Right?

Phils are mounting a comeback. Don't think they will get the playoffs, but it looks like a 500 season is in order. I think he'll be happy with that.

Don't let anyone watch the Phillies - that's clearly what made him sick!

Get well quick, dude! I'll grind some pepper in your honor tonight!

Nope. Geo suffered a fractured fibula a number of years ago and the area above his ankle never healed correctly. He's been having problems with it ever since. the dude's a trooper, gotta hand it to him!

Might thoughts are with you, George.

Actually, I'm sitting here with a broken fibula just above the ankle bone. Hmmmmmm.

Good luck to you too, Scorch.

Let's all have a virtual beer to-gether.

Best wishes, Lou! and you too, Scorchy!

I read CreekDancer talking about telling Geo about our unsafe borders... here in MN they have Homeland Security grants. The Star Tribune (back in Mary and Lou's land... lol) did a story Sunday on who did and didn't get grants.. and for what.

Pretty amazingly, the counties that border another country (Ok, so it is Canada!) didn't get any grants! And officials told a story if a Middle Eastern man coming in legally from Canada BUT he then snuck off to an illegal crossing with supplies for like 10 people. Hmmmmm...

Everyone's favorite was the ritzy Twin City suburb of Edina. They got some monster humvee or sumthin' with -- get this -- rotating garrets or turrets or something that you can shoot a gun out of.

LMAO!! I keep picturing the vehicles from "Animal House!!" LOLOLOL

I hope everyone gets well soon and hopefully this breaking leg trend isn't catchy. Fracturing my arm was bad enough, but a leg fracture sounds worse.

I want a philly cheasteak so bad. Even though I don't eat redmeat anymore (excluding the Bison & Elk I had out West) I have this urge for a philly from philly.

I can't remember ever having a fake philly cheasesteak.

Thanks all. I got out yesterday and am back at work today. Feeling very, very tired.

Looks like my hiking year is about finished, with the possible exception of some day hikes once this leg gets clear of infection.

LMFAO @ Violin's picture. That's not him, though. Psycho would have a tomato in his yap.

LMAO @ Bowlderman. Yes, it probably was watching the Phillies that got me sick.

Geo, time to switch to the Gigantes - only a game and a half behind da bums after last night's shellacking of the majors' hottest team. It was great watching Jeff Kent get rung up twice! Not to mention his error that let in 2 runs in the first to put us ahead for good!

Glad yer doin' better....
