Competition

I sniped this photo on the way back from Target. It's near the Marine training base so the area is littered with "gentleman clubs". It's good to see that our anti-monopoly legislation is working and benefiting the consumer with a fair deal. Unfortunately, I had already eaten so I will have to face to this tough appetizing decision on another day. (click on the picture to enlarge)

Surgery Scheduled

I saw the doctor on Thursday for my pre-op appointment. The surgery is scheduled for Thursday, August 12th. It is outpatient surgery and I am encouraged to walk around after the procedure. I need to take it easy for the first few days, but after that I should be able to take care of myself. It is hard to say how long it will take for the nerve to heal, but at least it will finally be able to now that the pieces of the disc will be gone. Here is a video of the procedure if that kind of thing interests you but I warn everyone that it is very graphic...but, the music is lovely.
