Hiccup [Boom],... cha cha cha...

It's old slang.  I thought it was from a movie or show or skit from my parent's time.  

It goes sorta like this:

Person 1 - gets the hiccups and can't stop.

Person 2 - tries to help Person 1, but farts (the boom).

Person 3 - starts to laugh, but realizes that they have to pee/poo/etc., and starts to do the potty dance (the cha cha cha).

[and then it goes in to repeat as people join in, start dancing and sing "Hiccup, boom! -cha, cha, cha... Hiccup, boom! -cha, cha, cha... "]

        It's not brilliant or anything that took long to think of, but it is childish fun.  Which is why i named my YouTube Channel [ https://www.youtube.com/@Hiccupboom ], and this blog, as such.  (Or well, just 'Hiccup [Boom],...').  It's just a channel to track my excursions on my pedal assist eBike, as i get back in to the realm of normal exercise.  Since my surgery [c.2024-April] i haven't been doing as much as i used to.  So last year i purchased an eBike, but haven't really taken it out until the past week [2026-02-26].

Currently i am mostly biking in the Azusa area, extending in to the Irwindale (Santa Fe Dam), Duarte (City of Hope National Medical Center, & Glendora (Vons) areas.  This is as to get me back in to my comfort area in regards to balance, traffic, & strain.  To this end, i need to make sure that am ready before i venture out into more dense and places further away.

        Along the San Gabriel River Bike Trail, i've been exploring.  So far the most interesting things have been a rabbit, old cobblestone river channel, the Puente Largo Bridge, AND "Jupiter Point."  The remnants of a to-scale solar model.  It's only drawings on a ground, but they are measured in relation to where the planets would be if they were on Earth.  Starting with the trail's end along San Gabriel Canyon Rd; Which marks the Sun.  And all the other markings are planets.

        I am trying to find out more information on this project, as i heard about it in the past, but can't seem to locate the data on it.  I just recall news articles that students (and people in general) had discussed doing this after a separate discussion on the poor understanding of the solar system due to crap models.  So people decided to do projects like doing a scale model out in White Sands, or on a beach, or etc. etc.  Some of those are documented and on You Tube, but we'll see what i can find.

        So that's that.  This blog will help add context for the videos i post on You Tube.
