Afterward, I had him give a tour of the basement
to show where the shutoffs were. Bonnie of course
had no clue.

Will she retain the knowledge, do you think....?

Doubtful; it's even doubtful that I will retain
the knowledge myself.

If I'd abandoned my station and gone to the
basement to find the shutoff valve, the damage
might have ended up being considerable.

Indeed...

The sad thing is that the place was renovated and
fitted with modern fixtures only about 30 years ago.

but a bit of the T area was included by accident, and some
bright person noticed the anomaly, so there was another MRI
at 5:45 in the morning ... which was inconclusive anyway,
so more tests yet are indicated after her return from Turkey.

Hopefully it will all be fine...

We're of that opinion.

Have the new tests happened yet...?

Not yet, next week. On a bright note, Lilli's tests
came back, and they're no longer worried about a
recurrence of cancer, just a neurological issue, so
they're testing for myasthenia gravis, which does not
preclude a full lifespan and impacts activity only in
relatively minor ways (both Burt Ford and Jim Bodle
had it).

He promptly took another U-turn putting us in the
wrong direction, so we both screamed at him, and he
made yet another U-turn. Thank goodness - he could
have continued his expensive route, or worse. As it
was, he charged an exorbitant fare, and I gave him
ten extra pesos for not kidnapping us.

This was in Mexico, yes...?

Yes - farther south, the chance for disaster would
have been greater.

I talked to a friend who was being monitored by the FBI;
she had the same symptoms. She was being monitored because
unknown to her one of her correspondents was on the ten
most wanted list.

Hmmm.... does make on wonder who's listening in, then....

There are some possibilities (no proof) - from a benighted
followup to previous benighted studies to someone panning
in vain for data that can be used profitably to that same
FBI, which knows various things, including that I've been
in touch with a few most-wanted types in my life as well as
having had a brother who threatened to assassinate Clinton.
Annie used to say of me that I knew where the bodies were
buried, but that wasn't literally true; but I did know some
of the people who knew in a more literal sense. It's one of
the things that comes with being a nexus point in the six
degrees of separation scheme. After all, I'm at most three
degrees away from Hitler and Stalin by at least two separate
pathways.

That's close to criminal.... but they get away with it...

The pity is that the company has a good reputation.

Perhaps that won't last, with that sort of shenanigans...

The company has expanded beyond its community-based roots
in recent years. The 50c-a-bar-that-tastes-like-Special=Dark
is still 50c, though, and it's still at least as good as
Special Dark.

Doubtful; it's even doubtful that I will retain

But having had them pointed out once, you might be able to figure it out
for yourself again at some future point....

Let us know...

On a bright note, Lilli's tests came back, and they're
no longer worried about a recurrence of cancer, just a
neurological issue, so they're testing for myasthenia
gravis, which does not preclude a full lifespan and
impacts activity only in relatively minor ways (both
Burt Ford and Jim Bodle had it).

I remember Burt being reassured, after his diagnosis, by finding out
that Jim Bodle had it...

He promptly took another U-turn putting us in the
wrong direction, so we both screamed at him, and he
made yet another U-turn. Thank goodness - he could
have continued his expensive route, or worse. As it

Fortunately you survived it... :)

That can be scary.... and puts all of us at most four degrees away... ;)
After the picnic last year, Edith was totally wowed by realizing that
she is only two degrees from Yo Yo Ma... ;) BTW, I did pass along your greetings, and she returns them... :)

I suppose that is saying something.. :)

What, you want to still feel young...? ;) I remember not really
accepting, or feeling, middle age until it was obvious my parents had
slipped over into old age decrepitude.... probably somewhere around
Daddy being in his late 70s, possibly 80.... and the Parkinsons was
taking over....
