^ Oh boy...don't get me started on the ER sitch. Both my parents have made several visits to the local one (I won't mention the hospital) and the wait to be admitted was the worst, not to mention that nursing care has seriously deteriorated because of the shortage of nurses. The past year or so has been particularly bad...average wait to be admitted was about 10 hours! All the time lying on that very uncomfortable gurney in the ER, mostly in the hallway after initial treatment. It was especially bad for my mother with her back pain. I hope we are done with that place for awhile.
How is your brother, Granny?

Right! Even once the decision is made to admit, they often wait for hours for a room, and are unfortunately quite uncomfortable in the ER, where it almost seems as if they have been forgotten about completely.

How y'all doin' today? 
I have a sol'n to the helmut head problem... go bald. OK, well, maybe that's a little extreme.
So, it looks like there'll be a good Vintage turnout at FC04, eh? I'm pretty much on the fence, more leaning toward not going. We'll see.
