The town I grew up in was small with only a couple of traffic lights downtown. Crime was unheard of and if someone needed to into a neighbors' house, the door was always unlocked. Even if no one was at home.

Sometimes the story line is not interesting and if Earnest T Bass is featured, I immediately...

I went to bed relatively early last night so I would not sleep through my 7AM alarm. My appointment was at 1030 and I konw I need at least an hour to get started.

It was just a routine check-up and I passed.
