Fergus, Falls, Minnesota
Just arrived at our Comfort Inn hotel for the evening after a couple days in Gilby, North Dakota and Grand Forks. We had a blast.
Oh Canada!
Headed north to cross the border and back

Medical Care In The U.s.
IMHO, medical care in the United States is AMAZING. A family member had outpatient surgery to implant two stents in their chest this morning, is on their way home now, and cleared to fly away on vacation this Friday. My daughter’s stroke treatment, therapy and recovery was equally AMAZING (and frankly, fascinating).
But I find medical administration (presumably due to insurance requirements?) in this country to be ABYSMAL. I suspect most medical staff are overworked, but with treatment provided by 4 or more organizations I find they can pass the buck faster than the government, and simply do not communicate well.
Case in point… MercyCare uses “My Chart” software and I love it. UIHC also uses “My Chart”, but the two are entirely different things (same software, different “systems”) and don’t share any information. Chaos rules.
Reauthenticate Github
So, this morning, I found that some of my recent posts coming from my iPhone did not go through in Drafts, apparently because my GitHub credentials had expired. Once I’m able to post this draft, I will add a blog post documenting how I got back here.
Farewell Facebook Friends
I find myself at a crossroads. Those of you who know me well are probably aware that I have never been a fan, advocate, or avid user of Facebook, or social media in general.

She’s doing quite well and I’m waiting for her prescriptions now .
Mackenzie Had A Seizure
At 12:18 today. Called 911 and ambulance took her to M’town where we are now. She was non-verbal and groggy at home, but came around while the ambulance was still in the driveway. They took their time (68 mph) getting her here. She is alert and resting comfortably since we got here at about 1 pm.
Flashforge Headaches
My MacServer is running dead slow tonight so I could not 3-D print from it. I’ve successfully installed orca-FlashForge on my Mac Mini but I could not connect to the FlashForge server to make that work,so I put the printer in LAN mode and now it looks like I may be able to print.
