Ben’s trip to the dentist turned out well. It took over an hour but they managed to fix his front tooth without grinding it down and capping it. The bill was $220 and I will be surprised if CAT pays a third of it, as usual. Oh Well. I’m sure Ben is glad it is fixed.
I made a lot of phone calls again yesterday to Honda dealerships all over Illinois and even to the one in Iowa that Michael T. says he thought a lot of. No luck. They all say the same thing, they don’t have any on their lots and they aren’t going to try find one to trade because they are sure nobody else will trade. I called the home office for Honda in California and waited on hold until I got somebody to talk to. I explained the situation and the guy didn’t seem to really give a hoot. I don’t understand why they discontinued the 250cc model in the first place and neither does anyone at Honda that I have talked to. The guy took my name, phone, etc. and said he would have customer service look into it and give me a call back. Still another call I won’t be holding my breath to receive.
We had some really nasty thunderstorms roll through yesterday and I missed my nap. Who can sleep with all that crashing and ripping going on. I thought sure the old satellite dish had been blasted a couple times the strikes were so close. I’m not real fond of that stuff. At least the lights didn’t go out like they usually do when we have such storms. |

Korman, the tall, versatile comedian who won four Emmys for his outrageously funny contributions to ‘The Carol Burnett Show’ and played a conniving politician to hilarious effect in ‘Blazing Saddles,’ died Thursday, May 29, 2008. He was 81. |
Hospital Visit
In the admitting office of our hospital, some patients were filling out forms, others were being interviewed, and still others were being escorted to their rooms.
An elderly woman hesitantly entered my cubicle. She had completed her admitting forms and, upon my request, handed me her insurance cards. I typed the necessary information and then asked her the reason for her coming to the hospital.
“Just to visit a friend,” she said, “but I’m not sure I have time now.” |
