The end of a very hot sweaty day in Portland, Oregon. Smog alert called for today and tomorrow. Tomorrow should be a record 100. The main incident in my work day was observing my old boss up close. He’s fighting some kind of blood disease and is so frail. It makes me really sad. Even though he and I haven’t ever been very close, we’ve grown old together since I started there 18 years ago. After work annoyance was to get to the pharmacy for my monthly thyroid scrip and find my prescription insurance had been terminated without me knowing anything about it. Had to pay out of pocket and come home and call my Benefits Office to track down how this mistake could have happened. My yard is so dry. I always forget when it will finally turn green again each year.

Things have been pretty sticky weather wise here in Missouri too. Last Saturday even the breeze was hot.
Yipes. I hate it when the insurance folks mess up. We recently had a big doctor bill rejected and it took us months to get it straightened out. The problem was, my wife sprained her jaw. The doctor, in his report, mentioned TMJ–not as a diagnoiss, but as an example of some of the symptoms. Our insurance doesn’t cover TMJ, so just the letters in the document were enough to reject the claim.
Welcome to Xanga.

Welcome to Xanga Land. . . I love it here. That’s pretty hot for Oregon. I always think of Oregon as the perpetual lush green state. What happened?
