I went for the hunk o' ham because it looked more manageable. I may be regretting that choice if it doesn't go well with the cranberry orange relish. We could have a thanksgiving redo on Saturday.

Medicine is always tragic, as our trade involves slowing the inevitable entropic processes of illness and death.
But when a patient suffers a bad outcome because they can’t afford a med that WAS WORKING? That hurts.

I failed to denote sarcasm. The economic harm from injuries and deaths that those safety features prevent is enormous.

I beeped briefly to alert a guy backing out of that he was about to hit me. Too late to let him go ahead—I was already in his path. He stopped but was visibly enraged. Puzzling, until I noticed he was coming out of the strip mall "men's health" clinic.
I'm sure this will be fine.
