Gah, rest up!!! Lab Spaces will be fine--we'll just sit and simmer in our awesome sauce, as they say.

Hope you're okay Brian. Rest up the head and hand - nothing needs extra attention around here right now.

Haha, tideliar, I got distracted by a dead amradillo in the gutter ( I'm a sucker for animals) and this wouldn't have been bad in any other spot, but it just so happens that the bike path ends at this spot and you have to go up a little ramp to the sidewalk. We average about 20mph so the 2 seconds of armadillo watching made me miss the turn, hit one of those tall 6inch curbs and endo into the gutter 10 ft ahead on the armadillo. I remember looking at the armadillo, but everything up til about 5 hrs after that is fuzzy

That should be a new Tshirt -- "Labspaces Overlord taken out by dead armadillo."
Armadillo - 1, LabSpaces Overlord - 0.

Same here! @Brian, what do you think? Can we make that a Tshirt? Or.. would you rather forget this ever happened and move on..
