Ray Foot Follies http://www.rjray.org/thoughts/health/break5.html In a few hours, I report in for another surgery. One of the screws that was put into my foot is working its way out. It's caused some serious infection in the area around the wound from the first surgery.

What this means, among other things, is that my departure from California will be delayed by at least one more week. Right now, I'm looking at leaving on May 8th. I'm still waiting on my work permit from the UK before I can make my actual travel plans. This unexpected surgery will also probably slow me down on the packing, so the extra week will be handy to have.

Man, this bites.

]]> Wiki Birthdate Meme http://www.rjray.org/thoughts/on_this_date.html Plenty of other people are doing it, so I might as well...

On my birthday:

Three Events

  1. 1791 - The United States Mint is created by the U.S. Congress.
  2. 1873 - The U.S. Congress enacts the Comstock Law, making it illegal to send any "obscene, lewd, or lascivious" books through the mail.
  3. 1915 - NACA, the predecessor of NASA founded.

Three Births

  1. 1847 - Alexander Graham Bell, Scottish inventor (d. 1922)
  2. 1920 - James Doohan, Canadian-born actor (d. 2005)
  3. 1973 - Victoria Zdrok, Ukrainian model

Three Deaths

  1. 561 - Pope Pelagius I
  2. 1850 - Oliver Cowdery, American religious leader (b. 1806)
  3. 1995 - Howard W. Hunter, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (b. 1907)

So, the birth of NASA (as a young'un), a good day for (would-be) Scottish inventors and super-hot ultra-scary-smart porn models, and a bad day for religious figures. It's a good day, I think I'll keep it.

(Edit: The first few I saw did 3+3+3, it wasn't until I read further into my LJ friends list that I realized the meme was supposed to be 3+2+1. I don't want to impugn any of the ones I chose by dropping them in favor of others.)
