Tell us more about the squirrel radios



--tg

You ask a fair question. I always assumed squirrel was the brand name but the closest I could find were Belkas (Russian for squirrel). They are small palm-sized walkie talkies, very lightweight. We’ve used them for years but this was the first time psych had a dedicated channel and radios for all. We shoulda made more use of them but only a few were listening. I don’t like them because they’re too quiet. I clip it to my collar so it rest on my clavicle and I can feel it vibrate if there’s traffic. Then I can pull it up to my ear. Otherwise they’re impossible to hear at shows.

DM overdid the weekend. He was only there for two days and one night (four hours of sleep at best). Given the short window, dm was overly indulgent and now is coughing like a dog from too many puffs (and a snort). There’s a 2cm bruise/cut on his left shin that he doesn’t remember getting. Twas worth it tho.

DM is still coughing up Cali Roots. DM really needs his legacy there to keep him properly moderating.

I've been moaning about my post-CR coughing fits, sleepiness, plus some diarrhea (which I had not mentioned here) and last night it occurred to me that I upped my metaformin dosage this week X2 on doctor's orders and these are all symptoms of increased meta dosage. I'm titrating back to see if it subsides.
