Sometimes it feels that way and sometimes
I feel pretty good. Knee is going to be a problem
for a while yet I suppose. I'm not willing to give
up working at the ballpark even if I have to use
a cane to do it. I've cut back quite a bit on the 
pain med they've prescribed (vicodin) as it gives
me bad dreams (worse than eating spicy food!) and
doesn't seem to do much for the knee. The pain may
be coming from the bone itself rather than the joint
and hopefully the bone scan will give us some info
that we can use to treat the problem...whatever
it is!

Ours is BIG, I took Dale and Gail there, they

I think the mexican markets got used to being
the only places where Mexicans shopped and 
they slowly raised prices over time to the point
they were pretty much equal to the regular markets.
Since Pal Do World started to draw off their clientelle
they have started to drop prices again..but the 
folks have found a lot of new food experiences
that they enjoy at the Korean markets. Now 
the Korean market seems to keep an eye on the
latino markets and stays a little bit lower than
their prices. Seems to be working, every time
I go to the Korean Market, I see more and
more Latino's there!
