Fun with ordering Food

By BetaWolfinVA

on/around 20 April 2005 i was driving a John Deere mid sized lawn tractor with a blower attachment,

first i cut the center of traffic circle, then i blew the grass off the center part where the old 3" bore WWII shore battery stood as a display piece

I lost track of the Cannon while i was operating the blower part

My Head hit the Cannon going approximately 5 - 15 miles per hour,

i escape the grape treatment by inches,
with my head not impacting the roll bar

I have a slight dent that that is middle finger long.

there was trace evidence on a CAT scan of from blood that had dripped through a crack and dried on/throughout the language center.  its a tracery, but during heat or stress it is exacerbated

many years later,

I still have occasional issues with speaking sometimes when i see bright lights (q.v. day lit windows), or try to order from a menu

this tendency is exacerbated by stress

and now i am worried that my spelling ability is at risk as well

"of all the things i've lost, i miss my mind the most"
of all things, what a fucked up thing to happen to a poet.

================

i love serving the active duty military too much to want to loose my job and go on disability

I need to figure out how to get through this...
