Oh, shortgrass. Dang! I wish I had something helpful to tell you. I know when my beloved's truck's wheels locked up while I was driving it, the auto repair guy told my beloved I must have been riding the brakes. My beloved straightened him out. And we found another auto repair guy. But...

Even sitting wrong in front of the computer can put a strain...
