Default That rocket didn't fly

A short ways into my ride to work this morning I felt an immediate need to expel some mucal material. I turned my head, aimed between my arm and side, put a finger to the other nostril and let 'er fly. But it didn't want to let go. Now I had a six inch long snot streamer flapping loose. Before I could do anything else about that, the wind caught the streamer and promptly smacked me upside the head with it. Ewww. This is why they put snot pads on bike gloves.

No problem. Just waiting for the teams to get put up, wasn't much else to talk about.

Ah, too bad I missed this. I have been having similar issues lately, but us Team 1'ers have the power to get the snot rocket off the ground
