Probably a wise idea.... as long as there are other drivers to pick up the slack.... Is her blood pressure coming under control...?

There are a couple such, but they're inconvenient
or have other defects. Such as living an hour away
and/or talking from the driver's seat with both
hands gesturing and away from the wheel, and/or
being almost as blind as me. Don't know about the
second issue.

Hmmm.... those don't sound like such great choices, true.... Hope the
blood pressure resolves sufficiently for the surgery to be safely
done....

But her travel schedule os filling up!
Priorities, you know.

Yes, I know.... ;)

Neither. After weathering some hard times, the
flavor continues to this day. The reason for my
dislike is not Paterno's stonewalling in favor of
a child molestor (which people suspected but could
not prove) but his winner-takes-all Vince
Lombardiish attitude (winning isn't everything,
it's the only thing, that kind of nonsense).

So he's never been so peachy.... ;) Does the confection continue to be tasty....?

Well, shortly after he waa fired by Penn State
and the NCAA stripped the school of most of the
victories won under his coachship (actions I
recall later rescinded), he kicked off.

Yes, I do remember that...

As far as the ice cream goes, I seldom had it,
never after his fall from grace.

Other than being named for him, was it other than just a regular peach
ice cream....?

Maps are generally useful... when they exist... :) Are there decent
maps for the southern hemisphere....?

There are, some of them actually with the
southern hemisphere up top. No such resides in
my head, however.

Hard to keep them all straight, in any case.... :)

Getting one's bearings is harder without proper
frames of reference.

Indeed.

Politeness to the doctor has not been sufficient reason for me to give
in to what I'm sure is a bad call.... :) Sometimes one just has to
stand firm...

I was moderately sure that that concession
wouldn't kill me, and if it maimed me, I could
be made mostly whole by litigation.

I can almost follow that line of thinking, except for the litigation
part, being very non-litigious... one might even say litigation
adverse... ;)

Chances are I'd not actually do it unless I
figured someone deserved the lesson.

In the meantime, I heartily endorse your decision to take over the
decisions when it comes to the docs... :)

... I'm not loafing, I'm doing research on inertia.
