Oof. Flaming hot sounds like a bad idea.

Might as well rub some icey hot on your junk before you hop in too.

True story from childhood: Out camping, mom accidentally grabbed the icy hot instead of the toothpaste (same bin) and brushed her teeth with the stuff. Took a little bit for the realization and panic to set in, surprisingly. Kind of makes me wonder if it doesn't taste like mint. But with her... it could taste like motor oil and it still might take awhile.

But yeah, remember that story come april fools.

We put Icy Hot on our dad's toothbrush once. Thanks for reminding me of that.

Edit: No it was Anbesol, and I put it on my mom's toothbrush.

'Mad' Mike Hughes dies in rocket crash trying to prove Earth is flat
The earth isn't flat, but now he is.

BARSTOW, Calif. ? A California man who said he wanted to fly to the edge of outer space to see if the world is round has died after his home-built rocket blasted off into the desert sky and plunged back to earth.

?Mad? Mike Hughes was killed on Saturday afternoon after his rocket crashed on private property near Barstow, California.

Waldo Stakes, a colleague who was at the rocket launch, said Hughes, 64, was killed.

The Science Channel said on Twitter it had been chronicling Hughes? journey and that ?thoughts & prayers go out to his family & friends during this difficult time.?

?It was always his dream to do this launch,? the Twitter message said.

Hughes also was a limousine driver, who held the Guinness world record for ?longest limousine ramp jump,? for jumping 103 feet in a Lincoln Town Car stretch limousine, at a speedway in 2002.

A video on TMZ.com showed the rocket taking off, with what appears to be a parachute tearing off during the launch. The steam-powered rocket streaks upward, then takes around 10 seconds to fall straight back to earth. Shrieks can be heard as the rocket plows into the desert.

Darn, this guy already has a lock on the 2020 Darwin award, I’m saving my stuff for next year.

It’s a conspiracy, the gubmet sabotaged his rocket flight to keep from revealing the truth about the flat earth.............



That video reminded me of Evil Knievel?s attempt to jump the Snake River in his steam powered rocket cycle.

Funny, same thing came to my mind.

FYI: Eval Knievel really wanted that jump to be the Grand Canyon, but that fell through.

Moving back to Colorado. Laid off in early Feb due to an acquisition. Got an offer in CO, but OK hasn’t been what we thought or hoped, so this is giving us an out. Looking at this as a reset and we will see what happens in a few years.

Say whaaaaaaaaat?

That's....semi-fortunate? Having to move twice in about a year is not even on my long list of fun things to do. I wish you well.
