Computerize Running shoe

An AP story on Yahoo shows what computers can do for a running shoe. No only if they can hook those up to my feet so that they can do the exercise it would be great!

The beavers are coming ... the beavers are coming

Since I missed the post to Patriots Day and I wanted to talk about our beaver problem in the neighborhood combining them seemed like a good topic.

(1) Patriots Day - "Shot heard round the world"



The American Revolution or as the British would call it the "American Agression" was started in Lexington, MA on the town green. Over a few days it finally progressed to the Old North Bridge which is where the Minute Man assembled and drove back the British Regulars. This is also where Paul Revere sounded his famous "The british are coming; the british are coming". Friends who have visited have found that this is usually our first tour when you show up to our house.

(2) Beavers



It appears we have a coloney of beavers in our neighborhood. Not a good thing. While I like the wildlife - this particular wildlife has decided to flood 20 pieces of property that where not flooded at all. It is threatening our septic systems and is less than 400 feet from a public water supply. Now we just gotta figure out what to do.

Now you can understand why the combination of the two seemed appropriate.

Cherry Blossom Webcam -- Washington Post

It's Cherry Blossom time in Washington, D.C. It is absolutely beautiful and if you have never seem them you should make a trip to the lower tidel area in downtown and see the cherry blossoms. Here is a webcam published by the Washington Post for those of us who miss seeing the cherry blossoms up-close-and-personal.

Picking a pediatrician

Ah the pediatrician - wow what a decision.

Where we live there are a few single doctor practices and a couple of large practices. We have decided to go with one of the larger practices unless they both really don't agree with us.

So Tuesday was the first "interview" at the first doctor's office. It went very well. They have amazing office hours 7AM-8PM M-F, then they have Saturday and Sunday hours as well. She was a very nice doctor. The office was also very integrated with all of the other support services. The office had lab services, xray, ct, and mri in the facility, it also had other doctors that we could use (internal medicine).

Today is the next "interview". We shall see how this place measures against the first doctor and the office. This facility also has other doctors, but it doesn't have the integrated labs. We will see how that plays out.

Both of the offices have privileges at Emerson Hospital.

Well I guess this is the next step.

Have fun....

God Bless
