Which should be renamed the Paddy Chayefsky hospital for the quality of service there. I go only when covered with poison oak.

DID I MENTION THE SUPERABUNDANCE OF POISON OAK HERE?

Here's a baby vine. Only 10 or 12 feet tall.

Or infected by some deeply embedded splinter from a buckbrush plant (Mother Nature's original Iron Maiden torture device)

OTHERWISE, the V.A. Medical Center is 50+ Miles away and I have never signed in, because, if I am healthy enough to drive there and back including these grand prix winding, blind-curve country roads, I don't need no medical care. I am healthier than a race-car driver.

More later.
