 RH> Quite so, same in our area with Duke and UNC. When we first moved up,

As long as you like the doctor, there's little need to change...
especially when you aren't sure how long you'll be in the area anyway... 
 
 NB>> Strong's not that bad anymore... although I suppose that anywhere one
 NB>> could have that sort of thing happen...

 RH> True, my dad was not happy with them--he pointed out that Rod Steiger
 RH> died in Strong in the same time frame. Don't know if it was natural
 RH> causes or something Strong didn't pick up on or what.

Sometimes there's just nothing anyone can do... even with heroic
efforts... and it all depends on which doctor (etc) is on the case...

 RH> Anyway, I got more personal attention at a smaller hospital and it
 RH> was closer to Houghton. 

Closer to school was a good thing, for sure...  

 NB>> such predicted for much of this week, into the forseeable future, but
 NB>> no real accumulation expected... and temps warming by the end of the
 NB>> week... we should have spring by, oh, maybe May or so...  (G)

 RH> We're supposed to be in the mid 20s tonight and then start warming up.
 RH> Normal highs are supposed to be in the upper 60s; we may get there by
 RH> Friday only to cool down a bit again starting Sunday--but not into the
 RH> 30s and 40s.

Today's supposed to not get out of the 30's, but supposed to be warming
up again tomorrow and into the week...  Meanwhile, I have a major puddle
where my car is supposed to be parked in the driveway... guess the
ground there is still too frozen to absorb it...
 
 NB>> I suspect that I would have done that weight measurement by
 NB>> guestimation, figuring that an ounce or two either way wasn't going
 NB>> to make much of a difference...  :)

 RH> I did have to guesstimate; the German scale wasn't that precise. Close
 RH> enough to get in the ballpark but not close enough to be spot on.
 
I probably would have just hefted them... ;) 

 RH> Told my mom she bought a bottle of Tabasco sauce when she first
 RH> started making it and never bought any more. We've gone thru a number
 RH> of them, and other hot sauces, over the years.

Dunno as we've gone through all that many bottles of hot sauce.. but
then we tend to get our hot spicy foods eating at all our favorite
restaurants, so there's less need for the sauces at home... ;)
