It's now November and I haven't really done much of anything other than some winterizing around the house and buying a new car. The Solstice will never see winter so I have bought a 2010 Pontiac Vibe to get me to the ski hill in the winter. My 98 Subaru Outback was a great car but it was leaking oil bad and wasn't sounding that great either so it is now in the automotive version of the happy hunting grounds. The Vibe will never equal the Outback in capable winter driving but with snow tires it should do all right.
I have also had to use the medical system in the last few days and I can safely say it was the fastest I have ever been treated. Last Sunday it was necessary to go to emerg to have a rapidly advancing infection on my left love handle (seldom used lately I might add) where I have a rather large cyst. This is the second time this has happened. I was in and out of emerg with a prescription in less than an hour which was pretty darn good. Then yesterday it was obvious things were still not looking good so it was off to see my doctor. I was in and out of there in 20 minutes with a letter to see the surgeon at the hospital. I got to the hospital, lined up for 5 minutes, was taken right in and was walking out of the place shortly thereafter for a total of 35 minutes. Not bad considering I had some surgery, albeit very minor surgery. Other than the very painful part it was an altogether easy day. Kudos to the entire Ontario medical system. It worked like a charm for me and all the people were professional as anyone could ever hope.
