A really sick note.

I've been fighting a cold all week. Today, I had to go in on barely three hours sleep. Deep chest cold, one that causes machine gun coughing fits. Had one of those occur driving out of Blackhawk. So bad, that it triggered a gag reflex.

I made it to a sewer grate. Barely. Anyway, I'm there purging my system of what little I've eaten in the last day plus a lot of phlegm. Finally the spasms stop and I'm trying to catch my breath. Near me is an old rich biddy who watched this whole display. What does she say to me?

A. "Are you alright? Do you need help?"

or

B. "This is a private community. I'm going to call security."

I loathe people.

Did the security folks give you the benefit of their first aid training?

I got in my truck and pulled out before she could toddle back to her multimillion dollar mausoleum. I did stop at the gate and told the guard what had happened, and where, so they could send out a maintenance crew to hose the area down.
