Chiralogenic Injury

I have a crick in my back this evening.

There's a nice older lady I often see while waiting for or riding on the bus. We frequently talk; I'm not sure we communicate, but we do talk. Today, she and another rider were chatting about the events in Ferguson, and I turned and tossed in a bit of information I'd gleaned online. After the other rider got off, we continued our conversation.

The problem is this. My left ear is currently out of whack, so to hear her I had to turn and bring my right ear into position. She was two rows behind me, and off to my left.

It was a good conversation, but I have a crick in my back this evening.

Let Me In!

I have tried, on more than one occasion, to sign up for the EGS forum, without success.

There are times when this frustrates me more than other times.

There is a current discussion there where my teacher-of-math-history genes are screaming at me: "Tell them about quaternions! And octonions! And isotropic vectors! And...."

But I can't.

I heave a great sigh, and pass on.
