Well sometimes predi is your friend!  Things seem to have calmed down
with my predi pulse; now I am down to 5 mg of  predi  we will see what
happens when I go to 0.  My infusion is fast approaching and they
moved me up a few days so I am keeping my fingers crossed.  Monster,
monster go away!  Just curious does predi seem to make hot flashes
worse?  Seems to me it does.

Took my 78 year old mother on the Rogue for 5 days of camping.  She
absolutely loved it and wants to buy a tent; problem is she has a hard
time finding people in her age group who still camp!!!  Everyone was
absolutely amazed she did hikes, climbed up to steep waterfalls, did
some very rocky terrain (ask Duckie) ....she is part mountain goat.  
We did the middle chute at rainie which has a huge drop, her eyes were
big, but we had a great bouncy run. (much better than our fish ladder
run Duckie).  The fire they just had doesn't look bad and did some
nice under burning..... overall I would say it was a net gain for the
ecosystem.

Had a new crown put on my tooth today, I have one of those new Cerec
crowns.  It is all computerized and takes only one visit the tooth is
digitized and milled during the same visit.  Looks great and it wasn't
as much trauma as I feared.  Too bad they can't make them cheaper.

Hope everyone is doing well (including Rachel).  Don't forget the
folks in the SE they could use all your prayers, thoughts, and any
extra resources you might have.  Red Cross seems to be getting
extremely high marks from nearly everyone especially the evacuees.
Louisiana and Mississippi have a unique opportunity to restore some of
their wet lands I sure hope they take that into serious consideration.
They need more than just levies, wet lands can really absorb the punch
of storm surges and flooding.  New Orleans will continue to subside is
inevitable.  -- MZ
