Go adopt one! Chihuahuas and pit bulls are the 2 most common dogs found in shelters. I have 2, if I culd have 10 more I would. Such sweet snugglebugs (pic of them on my profile)

Mine will be in Vegas with me next weekend. I hope to get a few photos with them at some landmarks

Another place to go for dental/glasses/medical is Algodones. Right across the border from Yuma.

I've been to Algodones for dental work a couple of times, but it's too far of drive down there. Lots of Canadians go there for dental work, some 40 dental clinics there.

I prefer to take a one hour flight to San Diego, take the train to San Ysidro/Tijuana, and go to Washington Dental on Revolucion Ave. Fly down in the a.m., have your dental work done, do some pharmacy shopping if need be, fly back the same day!

Occasionally while I'm waiting for the dentist I'll look at the other Americans looking to save some big-time money and I'll be thinking "Hey, I sure hope some guy doesn't bust in here with a machete or a machine gun or something and make a big mess of us all."

Then I realize nothing's happening like that at all. Just a bunch of Hispanic people doing solidly-priced dentistry at really unbelievable prices. I'll go back if my dentures need tweaking in any way. Right now the swelling is still going down so I have to wait and see how they're working for a bit still.

Well got my heart resynched on Friday. And I have gone partially bionic...I now have an implanted data recorder. Not quite sure why...seems to me the only good is that the cardiologist gets to replay if a heart attack whacks me.

Interesting though. Blood pressure drops 30 points and pulse goes from the 90s to the 60s. Won't understand the full impact for a couple of weeks...but I think back to Pilate and PT early in June.

Done at St. Rose on eastern. Pretty nice place. My cardiologist managed to create a bit of chaos by double booking so he could do two quick cases back to back. He obviously has pull as everybody was jumping around to make it work. I actually had the procedures, which involve a general anesthetic on a gurney with the equipment all stacked on the table where I should have been.

Interesting. Hopefully the future things will be no more traumatic than that was.

One more odd thing...all the admittance clerks appear to be from some consistent ethnic group I can't identify. Nice motherly types...middle European perhaps. The Admiral says it was the same when I had an angiogram there 12 years ago. Anybody know the story?
