That depends, are you planting CFLs or LEDs?

LEDs. CFLs contain all sorts of stuff I try to avoid.

Yes, one of those.

Iowa is also frequently picked on, but I remember that Captain Kirk, when someone said "Don't tell me, you're from outer space," replied "No, I'm from Iowa. I only work in outer space."

My own home state (Utah) has only produced two astronauts, including former senator Jake Garn. Apparently we like it here on Earth, and would rather launch our politicians to space.

Actually New York has the birthed the most astronauts - 29 born in the state plus two "space tourists."

Apparently, Pennsylvania has produced 14 astronauts.

Surgery went well today. Only had to replace the ACL. Said they did not repair the miniscus. but rather just 'clead up some staff'. Need to know more bout the meniscus during next week's followup.

Home and comforted on my new leather recliner. Super comfy. Pain well managed and my night nurse is fabulous. Not looking forward to tomorrow/today only because the nerve blocker will wear off.

Kipper sorry to hear you are in pain. Have you considering dialing back for a few weeks?

When I had knee surgery, the pain was manageable -- by far the worst part was not being able to take a real shower for a week get well soon! I am sure Pumpkin will take good care of you

I’d suggest elevating the knee and keeping a beer in each hand ... seriously, hope you get to feeling better

MAEN!

I'm glad the surgery is over, navi_jen. I'm sure that a good recovery is on its way.

Oh, and...
