  1. Went to a medical appointment today. The Doc comes in the room and greets me by saying "Hi (first name), I'm Dr. (last name).  This pisses me off. Don't mix formal and informal greetings. I'm not a child and you're not my better (I was easily 15 years his senior).  Don't get me wrong. If you want to use an honorific and refer to yourself as Dr. (last name), that's fine- you've earned it.  But if you do, you should refer to me as Mr. (last name) until I tell you otherwise- which I will do. If you'd like to refer to me by my first name (which is actually my preference), you should introduce yourself by your own first and last name. I already know you're a doctor and will use the honorific either way.

  2. I haven't done Turkey but I have done Jerusalem, Amman, and Petra.  Jerusalem is amazing.  Best place I've ever been and I've been around.  Between the old city (little of everything), West Jerusalem (Jews) and East Jerusalem (Muslims), it's really 3 distinct locations.  Throw in Palestine (West Bank) to really experience the full effect.

    One word of caution.  It's true that Israel doesn't stamp the passport- I don't think a stamp is even an option anymore- but the countries that care obviously know that, so they'll be looking really closely at for indications of crossings at the Jordanian and Egyptian borders.  It goes both ways by the way.  Israel won't deny you entry based on the stamps you have, but prepare for a long hard time if you have some unfriendly stamps.  I did ok but I have a buddy who spent 8 hours at Ben Gurion over it.

    I posrepped Clintonaldo, but dammit, it just bears further acknowledgment.  It was perfection.  Like watching MLB all-stars turning a double play.

    I knew full well what I was inviting when I typed  the word "thrust", but I never considered that sentence as a whole.  So, it was more like me throwing batting practice than being half of a double play.  Probably should have locked it up right there.

  4. Looks like they released s3 tonight instead of tomorrow. Here I go!

    The recap of s1 and s2 was very good but it's a bit hard to find. The episode is Season 3 episode 0. You currently need to scroll to the end of season 3 episodes to find it.

    Saw the preview of season 3 and it seems they're finally driving headfirst into the supernatural.

  5. I didn't bid on it, although for the selling price I almost wish I did- Even though I have no space, tools, or know how.  Interested to hear thoughts about how ya'll would mod it to make it functional.  These kind of trucks come up from time to time but I've never seen it done.
