If you like comic books Alan Moore is the best, I have most of them, and the stories are quite unique and extremely weird at times.

Things have been mostly quiet here. One heck of a rainstorm last night and a glorious bay outside right now. Of course I had to go and sprain my ring and fingers while getting breakfast ready. Trying to catch a bucket full of rice with only to fingers is a good way to screw up your week.

Lol! Having to do R.I.C.E. after trying to catch Rice

We have plenty assorted jell packs to help keep the swelling down from all of our previous escapades. Trying to work on the computer is pretty annoying right now.

Funny this subject came up - in the last week or two one of my fingers has started sticking and clicking when I bend it (1st joint out from the hand), plus it tends to ache a lot. After I started noticing it, I compared the joint and it is larger than any other on either hand except for thumbs. Some form of arthritis? Not sure if anything can be done, but time for some research...

Will: Up in your area are there any problems with homeowners insurance policies getting cancelled or non-renewed due to fire risk? It's happening all around us, and our ins. just issued a non-renewal for us. Can't find any standard fire insurance so looking at the CA (un) Fair Plan, which is 5x more expensive (and we are in the low end). It is affecting Real Estate prices, sales are falling apart due to not being able to insure the property. Not good at all in our area of the foothills...

Scott look up something called "Trigger Finger"

https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseas...trigger-finger

So far I have had two done and am looking at a third one.
I can say that the surgery did fix mine and they are still good

Thanks Sean - Have a friend who has had two done as well. His symptoms are different than mine, but I'll be seeing him Weds. and ask. Mine seem to be only at the joint - I can still fully close the finger to the palm but the more I curl it the more pain I have right on the top side of the joint. I'll go look it up now that you brought it up...
Thanks again,
Scott
