I love green cars, this one was no exception. I do find it odd that I have never owned one.

It’s different where I live because so many people have moved here and our towns are not equipped to handle the population spurt in addition to no new Dr.’s or Dentists coming to the area or if they do they don’t stay long.
If I went to urgent care or the E/R and it was something serious I would get immediate attention.

Our local hospital, as well as the other large medical practice both have urgent care centers. The hospital has them in several areas. You can even make an appointment for an arrival time to cut down on the wait. That's what I've done the last two times my doc didn't have appointment available.

One does have to make sure you are visiting an urgent care facility vs an urgent care facility affiliated with the ER. The prices vary greatly and if one has insurance coverage with co-pays/deductibles, out of pocket can get costly if you end up where you don't want to be.

Hope you have the same option if needed, Rob.

I just seen pics of the updated Mustang, and I like the outward shape / design of it. It kind of has a bit of the new Z look to it, more of an import look than old school muscle car, nice design.

Robb, my brother in law is up north by Burlington and is still practicing dentistry at 75.
There is a persistent rumor he will finally be unplugging his drill in Sept but he renewed his license/insurance so...

During our nightly walk we had a current gen. Corvette go by us. This thing sounded exactly like a Ferrari, it sounded fantastic. I don't know what they did to get that sound, it was a very high pitch exhaust sound, if you had a blindfold on you would say it was a Ferrari. I loved it. Definitely not a stock Corvette exhaust.
