The hospital for foreigners is very nice... Don;t ask me how I know.... Better to get out while you can.

It looks like he really missed them
You got a dag that's disciplined enough to keep his toys out of sight???

Can't actually talk about it, publicly.

The hospital system is very good. They have a section for Americans/English. The doctors and staff are quite fluent in English, so not a problem with communication. They are also very friendly and accommodating...

Good morning all.

Welp, the official temperature drop was 50 fricking degrees in just a few hours. 80 yesterday afternoon and 30 this morning. I blame it on Sid. It was nice and warm out there and the weather gods decided to remind him of what winter is all about. Dress warm Sid!

Hahaha! Nice travel destination, motion. I imagine you guys have more hits than misses on your travels.

What's with this talk of plunging temps? I don't want to know about DC's weather forecast until after we're back there. Some things are better left unknown.

It is nice to have a great photographer come to the track to take pictures.

For sure.... this was a "mileage run" to a new destination. Only 3 nights here, so can't be that bad.

Glen, your beard makes it look like you have a full face helmet on. Good job on the color match.

Dave, you have all the fun at hospitals every where you go it seems.
