So you're at the highest part of that range.

you need to start buying lottery tickets...and staying inside during lightning storms.

You said the fence "broke your fall" and your pelvis...did you land on it in a seated position or laying out flat? Seems a 5-story drop broken with a narrow fence like that would snap your back in two...

Glad you're okay to tell the tale.

Definitely make those phone calls!

this is going to sound dumb, but what do i say once someone answers the phone?

"hello, i'm against surveillance."

"anything else, sir?"

"umm, no...that's about it."

Refuse to vote for anyone else.

there is probably nothing worse in our democracy than voting for a person based on one issue. it's why we're in this mess in the first place.

and in my experience the best way to avoid missing meat is to avoid trying to create substitutes for it.

Amen, sister. I grew up in Nebraska and ate all kinds of beef, pork, chicken, etc. I became vegetarian several years ago and I don't miss meat at all. But you are right in saying that giving up meat by trying to add fake meat into your diet is futile. There is no substitute for great (corn-fed) beef or chicken wings or bacon.

Impossible meats are fine, but you have to think of them as something other than "meat."
