@robert @RichardChristy yes, I'd think the generation tray raised those who would become bad parents carry the larger share of responsibility... But then one must ask about the generation that raised them.

As to whether things were better in the past, that's too broad... By many objective measures the world is better today than at any point in history. I think we're not in a worse place, but teetering in the brink of throwing away a lot of good. I don't think we've reached the tipping point, but we'll likely only know in hindsight.

@RichardChristy I don't know....one generation produced the other, right?

@MountainJay I'm up for publishing this for purchase there if you want to send me the high res image

@MountainJay you did it! Looks like I missed (or will miss) a local meet up at that wine bistro. Broke my leg out running last week. Not going anywhere.

@realcaseyrollins shoot. Just realized that my broken leg last week.... Was my Spring Break.

Having broken one leg last week, I'm often feeling like a dufflepud

@ParkerTechGuy I always know when mine is plugged in, with this hourly reminder : "I'm listening to you at all times and storing audio 24/7 for big tech"

@freemo This week I fell and broke my leg. When minutes of going to an urgent care I had xrays, a few hours later I was at an orthopedic surgeon of my choice and was in surgery the next day.

I have thought a number of times, I probably wouldn't have gotten such fast medical help if I were still in my country of origin.

(Given, I had to swipe a payment card at the surgery center and will be getting various related bills for a while, but my relatives in Canada across the political spectrum are unified in always complaining about how high their taxes are, so the cost issue is still there, is only handled differently.)

@ParkerTechGuy well.... I always loved running in snow. Until now. Tuesday one mile in I tripped or slipped or something, and twisted my ankle...actually broke my leg (fibula). Had to have a metal plate surgically attached, screwed through my bones yesterday and am in a world of pain today. 3 months expected recovery.

@freemo
Broke a bone, tore soft tissue, displaced another bone. Needed surgery and was under general anesthetic only 28 hours after the initial injury yesterday.

Amazing health care we have in America, but quite a bill....using up a lot of deductible all at once here.

My nerve block hasn't worn off yet so I feel fine now, but am having a hard time going to sleep, dreading waking up in a world of pain.

Recovery is 3 months until I can re start marathon training for my first marathon in October, which they think I'll be able to run. If they're right, it'll be a good recovery and a great story for my first marathon.

Taking some time off work... and maybe more as short term disability... I generally push myself too hard and given the option with this most severe injury /health situation ever, maybe I should take advantage of the time to recover better.

@CorrerEnGalicia

@ParkerTechGuy I will go out but this was my long run day. Hope it's terrible out tomorrow for my jog. Feels much more fulfilling. Last winter I had a few times I came back with icicles on my face.
