Oh, Laga, that last one would be perfect. With a little bit of veiling at the back.
Hee! It's the one Plei just sent me, too!
See, I hadn't realized that horse riding helmets would work, safety-wise. Now that I know that, I'm slightly more tempted by the idea of a trike. Now to find the spare money ...
Or steampunk it.
YES! Do it! Get a pair of goggles and you're a go.
That reminds me I need to get a new bike helmet.

As long as you don't fall off, you should be fine. As with most things, the better the crash-rating of the helmet, the uglier it is. You may have noticed that olympic equestrians don't wear the classic hat for cross-country competitions.
I deserve a great reward. 1st I pulled a stump out of the garden. Then I cleaned out the frige. A hard job followed by an icky job.

Now you have somewhere to keep your stump fresh!
that link didn't work for me
Pre-LJ, I was on another diary site and made many of my first online friends. One of my closest friends at the time went by the pseudonym Savannah. She met Jeremy on that site, I believe, and they began dating. A year or two ago, they finally got married. I never really got to know Jeremy, and pretty much everything I remember about our interactions on the site is negative. I didn't really like him.
He had cystic fibrosis, though. Really bad. In the last few years, we'd get updates from Savannah about lengthy hospital visits. He lost an eye last year.
And he died last week.
I think he ended up lasting a lot longer than the doctors predicted (if I recall, they hadn't even expected him to make it to adulthood). The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation says average life expectancy is 36.8 years; I think he was a few years younger than that.
I don't know how to react because while I didn't know HIM well and didn't really like him, I know and like Savannah. I'm more sad for her than I am about him, if that makes sense.
