What's Up Doc?
So I sprained my wrist and almost broke my nose (somewhere, my mom just fainted.) I was playing basketball and caught an elbow to the face, which dazed me enough to knock me down on my wrist. There was a fair amount of blood from my nose but the wrist hurt worse. It hurts to type so this'll be brief. I'll tell you all about Chinese hospitals and medicine when I am healed.
In the mean time I'll make entries using mostly pictures and stuff from other volunteers.
We'll start with a message that I received from my friend, Ben. He is living in Dingxi, Lanzhou:
Later!

| Body: | So since I arrived in Dingxi I have had a hard time finding salt. Plenty of monosodium glutamate (MSG), but my blood-brain barrier is thin enough - thank you very much. So imagine my surprise when I found 3 bags of the stuff under my own roof! In a related story, I have been washing my clothes with salt the last month and a half. P.S. Being illiterate sucks @%^. |
Later!

Ivan: It is impossible to forget someone such as yourself. I hope life is treating you well in CA.
This is why you leave the playing of basketball to those with coordination and skill.

In my experience, milk helps every nose injury.
I don't know why, but the only time I remember is when I was dicing jalapenos and got the juices all over my hand, and thus all over my face.
Considering the necessity of ones hands when you're a male using the bathroom, that night was hell.
Feel better, Thaddius!
Hi "Mr. Ross" I hope your wrist is healing well. I hope you know how proud I am of you. The web site is excellent and I've enjoyed reading all through it- nice work and there are some great pics. We all miss you here in Idaho.
Love, Mom and Autumn
