A thought for all you cyclists out there...

I have decided to use today's post time to speak to the dilemma of the relationship between long distance mind bicycle riding and Salmonella poisoning. Now some of you may know that "Salmonella is a genus of rod-shaped Gram-negative enterobacteria that causes typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, and foodborne illness.[1] Salmonella species are motile and produce hydrogen sulfide." Thank you Wikipedia. For those of you who prefer a less technical definition and perhaps want to get down to the nitty gritty...think diarrhea forever. Perhaps you can see why at first blush one might not feel that the mind bike would be a good co-pilot to the Salmonella. Ahhh...now this particular sufferer begs to differ. What is the purpose of the mind bike if not to bring about change and take you to a place you and your mind have not gone before. What better way to do this then by laying your hot cheek to the cool tile of the bathroom floor while contemplating death as every last ounce of liquidy goodness propels itself out of your body through any available orafice. At that point in time your mind bicycle is poised and ready perhaps for religious peddaling in the form of the "Oh God take me now." Or maybe you are more inclined to wax philosophical with a little "I puke therefore I am." Pedal as hard as you like my dear readers because the road to recovery is a long one. True and complete recovery from our new friend Sal is not always timely or forthcoming. Perhaps a good jump start to a weight loss regimen if you are into that sort of thing. This plan is not endorsed by this typer, simply a reality of the affliction. Thoughts...
