Good point about the toe. I imagine you could find topical cocaine in your neighborhood, but it might be easier to just roll to a stop at an intersection on the west side, unclip one shoe, and make known your wishes. Voila! And you're off. Or maybe fuji has it in the formulary there at the Big Hospital. All sorts of maaarvelous drugs...

fuji--I say hi back to Heider! Thanks for letting me know. We spent many an hour together there in L&D.
