Had two smallish burgers for food from a legendary foods stand in West Hollywood - Irv's Burgers - they traveled decently and were still warm on arrival and they were pretty good.

Our plan was to fly to Chicago, rent a car, and drive to Milwaukee.

That was the smart plan. Most of the time when I've been booked on a flight from Chicago to Milwaukee or vice versa, I ended up on a bus provided by the airline. Sure hope they let you off in Milwaukee, especially if you don't have any checked luggage.

Interesting. This is a first for us.

I'm having a real issue with these pills. I took pill one, ate the burgers five hours later, thought about taking pill two but can't remember if I actually took it. This is happening repeatedly - and I don't THINK I did take it. From now one, when I eat I will take the pill out of the bottle and put it where I can see it - that is the obvious solution. I'm taking one now and hope I didn't take it earlier.

Bruce, you need a pill case to fill every night with the number of pills you need for the following day.

Rereading Gilgamesh.

This is disturbing:

To return to Uruk
Ishtar came,
Their city’s patroness,
Goddess of love
And fruitfulness
And war.

Yes, a pill counter. A few pill counters, actually.

Or you can ask for extra labeled bottles and split them up into morning, afternoon, evening, or whatever. Then when you take a pill, turn the bottle over.

Exactly this. I'd never remember which meds I've taken without it.

DR Freddie, your book arrived today but I'm still reading DR John G.'s.

I've also got the previous 5 volumes arriving on Friday.

DR Jane - I hope the recent bad flooding in WI, especially around Milwaukee, doesn't affect your plans.

Thanks so much, singdaw! 

There's duplication of sections and lyrics in the new book, which covers the first quarter century, includes full sections from volume 2, which was all about Climate and Global Warming, and sections of volume 3, which was all about the 2016 political season.

Had dinner with friends during Restaurant Weeks. Amazing Italian food. The beef marrow made me melt, it was so good. And so long since I had eaten it.
