I got back from Vermont on Friday. My son is still on the mend but doing well. That said, he is way too thin. He dropped 10 pounds in the hospital and he didn't have 10 pounds to lose. (He's 5' 11" and barely 100 lbs now.) I wanted to bring him back with me so I could both feed him and monitor what he's eating to make sure it's enough. He refused. We came up with a food diary solution. He is keeping track of what he eats every day with the goal of consuming 2100 calories a day. So far, he's not quite getting there but he's getting into the habit of eating more often, snacks have been strongly encouraged. I did a grocery run with him before I left - lots protein bars, nuts, hummus & pita bread, and fruit smoothies went into the cart. I have also set him up with my credit card on both Uber and Door Dash. I don't want him saving money for the next month (he moves to Maryland in August for his job), I want him taking proper care of himself, so if I'm paying for him to get Chinese food every night, I'll do it, at least I know he's getting protein and vegetables that way.
I was once driving a rental car on a highway east of Mt. Whitney...long, straight, pretty deserted, I think it was California 395...no one else on the road and then I start hearing a weird noise, which quickly gets louder and louder. I'm looking at the gauges on the dashboard, is the car overheating? Is it out of oil? I mess with the radio dial, any dial I can find, have no idea what's going on...and as the sound becomes deafening I see a jet fighter swoop down over me, literally at something like 50 feet. Came pretty close to soiling myself...evidently this is fairly common out West, harass the occasional motorist or bovine.
I was in my car(bought so I could drive to my summer employment at Magic Mountain theme park) when it started shuddering. ti thought the engine was about to explode. I was at a red light and hopped out. Turns out everything was shaking not just my car.
