Maybe so but screening is totally necessary to prevent crazy, oblivious or malicious people from contaminating public health facilities. Too many people just don't give a ****.

Wife wanted to have some margaritas on the patio at a local restaurant, but we have kids that need to get to bed and it's a cool, Friday evening after a week-long warm spell, so most places are packed. She did not hesitate to give me the green light to pick up some tequila and Grand Marnier when I suggested that I make some at home, though.

Going to be 100 today and the people I am meeting are starting at 7:00 so I had to get up at 5:00. I'm programmed for 6:00 and don't tolerate sleep deprivation. Unfortunately my neighbors had a party last night until 2:30 Having a sub-woofer 10 feet from my window makes sleep impossible. I even tried to sleep in the car but the thumping was there, too.
I finally asked them to turn it down at 12:30 and they did, so then it was just low music with laughing and screaming.
I don't know how well I'll ride but I'm looking forward to a nap.

The dirty little secret about anesthetics, particularly fast-acting ones, is that they are fat-soluble and redistribute rapidly to body fat where they are inaccessible to detoxification. They then leach slowly back into the bloodstream, keeping us woozy for days or even weeks.

Doc is right, I was recuperating from anesthesia . . . that loopy feeling stays with you awhile.
All went well, the surgery team which includes the prep nurses, anesthesiologist, surgeon and recovery nurses (in that order) were all comforting, affable and professional. It means a lot for these people to make you feel confident and secure before going into a procedure. Even so, my BP pre-surgery was 156 / 77 compared to normal doctor's visits where I'm usually around 115 / 72 or thereabouts. Anxiety is real. lol
Pain is almost non-existent, I've been staying ahead of it really well with the prescribed Percocets every 4 hours.
It was a pretty hi-tech OR, I got a good look at the robot they use but regretted I couldn't take my own photo. Here's a stock photo of the setup.
My robot was a later model, shown here in a famous demonstration peeling a grape.
Bottom line is I survived; in 2 weeks I can resume all activities, no constraints. However in 6 weeks I'll be back under the knife, this for a left rotator cuff repair (sigh). Getting old ain't easy.
But all in all, I'm happy THIS is done.

You'll be back to banning fools in no time.

The plastic Bodum Travel Press coffee maker I ordered from Amazon on 6/22 is finally out for delivery after a long ***** session with them on Thursday.

Went through a little tucked-away rural chunk this morning.
