Don't feed medals to babiez. They are probably made in China, and contain nickel, arsenic, and something poisonous (I mean medals, not babiez. Babiez are made in the US just fine, too.)

You don't need an appointment... unless you don't want to stand in a long line.

that's a good way to do it! i still think it is crazy though, that you have to wait so long.
When kidling 1 was getting his temp last week, we went to DMV around 8a.m., stood in one line for 2 min, filled out forms, he took the written test, got the results, and then we went next door and stood in another line for 5 min, filled out more forms, paid, did the vision test, took his pic, and waited for 5 more min for the licence to print.
And after all of that, I had him back home at 8:50, and was at work at 9:15.

I didn't realize the knee surgery was going to happen so soon. Hoping they found the problem and this will hopefully fix you up pretty good. And I, for one, fully endorse appropriate use of pain killers after surgery.
mix a drink or three into your painkiller regimen and you are golden. Buena Suerte!

Also saw Lake Powell which was neat. Finished the descent right over tuolumne and the valley.

If any wise-man would take him, I am open for negotiations. Unfortunately, wise men are way to wise to take on teenagers.

We got a visit from a snapping turtle today. This thing is HUGE, massive legs and tail, and looks like an alligator wearing a superfluous turtle shell.
The shell is about 2 ft in diameter. I'd say almost 3 feet from tip of the tail to tip of the snout. But I wasn't about to get closer and measure precisely. It is cool to watch it. But I hope it leaves soon. It looks like it could snap my arm or do considerable damage to it, at least.

I saw a big guy like that on the side of the road last summer. Looked like he was getting ready to cross, the road is 4 lanes, traffic going ~100lm/hr and it was around rush hour.
I don't know if he ended up on the road or not, but I don't know how well a car could handle hitting a turtle like that.
