DARD

Elliptical, 52 minutes. Shin's still tender, even more, so much for low impact. Advil, ice. What a hack. So I found this contraption I've never heard of, supposed to help strengthen shin/calf muscles, called a DARD — Dynamic Axial Resistance Device. Looks to me like it's for body builder dudes. A little pricey, but I'm looking for something more than usual toe/heel raises, etc. that I've been doing, and trying to rig up weights hanging down from my toes to raise was clumsey at best. I feel like such a jocko homo buying crap like this, weights scare me.

I need a new book to read, and another to listen to in the car ...

"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater danger. It works the same way in any country."
