======================
Stephen Haffly Said to Dave Drum about Tracking Sales

SH>  DD> and Steve isn't looking forward to that fight. The boy is
SH>  DD> pretty amazing in what he has accomplished with his limited
SH>  DD> sight - but, I don't think driving is in the cards for him.

SH> Most of my loss is in the lower-left quadrant. The peripheral vision
SH> in the upper-left seems to have come back most of the way except for
SH> the border area between upper and lower quadrants, where it is
SH> missing some. That area increases in the lower-left to take out a
SH> good portion of the lower-left, kind of like this:

SH>             .
SH>          .......
SH>        ...........
SH>      xx.............
SH>     xx...............
SH>      xxxxxxx........
SH>        xxxxx.......
SH>         xxxx.....
SH>           xx...
SH>             .

OUCH.

SH> This is for the left eye. The right eye has been missing vision in
SH> the same area for some years, since I had laser eye surgery (PRK) in
SH> 2002. That was totally unrelated to the recent stroke.

SH>  DD> Hopefully it will be for you.

SH> I hope so too.

SH>  DD> Apparently you are going to be hit by the mess that has been
SH>  DD> beating up on the middle of the country. We set an all-time low
SH>  DD> temperature record yesterday -13oF/-25oC. That's Jim Weller
SH>  DD> temperatures. Heck, Bill Swisher in Anchorage, Alaska was
SH>  DD> basking in +17oF weather - nearly shorts and tee shirt time.

SH> We had about 4.5" of snow. Then we started getting sleet and
SH> freezing rain. It warmed up to 35F overnight. It started raining
SH> earlier and has transitioned to snow. We are expecting 1-3" of snow
SH> before this system moves out. It will be cold overnight, and then
SH> daytime temperatures should go back to above freezing and help melt
SH> this mess.

I note that Sean Dennis' Outpost BBS has been off the air since this 
started in the south and mid-south. No answer to my e-mails so I am 
assuming that the power or phone lines in Johnson City TN have fallen 
prey to the ice/wet snow.

We got to 40øF/4øC yesterday. Which melted a lot of snow - but, left 
standing water from that melt on many of the roads - and then when the 
temperature dropped below 32øF/0øC .....

As I am looking out my window it is snowing - 2 to 4 inches expected. I 
anticipate a phone call from my work calling off the delivery routes for 
this afternoon. Fortunately for the tension knot between my shoulder 
blades they are fairly prudent about that.  Bv)=

SH> SH> So far, I have not noticed any significant negative effects from
SH> SH> the lower-dosage of Atorvastatin. I won't know if it is
SH> SH> effective though for a few more months when I have a follow-up
SH> SH> appointment with my primary care doctor and can get the liver
SH> SH> enzymes checked. If they are okay and the LDL levels are at a
SH> SH> level that makes the doctor happy, then all is well. I don't
SH> SH> want to increase the dosage and the risk of side-effects.

SH>  DD> That's a good thing. Fred Ball takes a non-statin thing for his
SH>  DD> cholesterol which may bear looking into, as well - but, the
SH>  DD> name of it slips my aging memory right now - IIRC it was
SH>  DD> (something) fibrozil.

SH> Gemfibrozil. I looked it up, and it has many of the same warnings as
SH> do the statins.

That's the one. I sort of noted it in the back of my head as I know you 
were having trouble with the statins. Possibly whatever it is in the 
statin drugs that gives you a fit is not present in the gemfibrozil.

I am going to make this for supper - starting the crockpot about noon.
I'll do the meat and onions in the skillet and then put it all into the 
baby crockpot with an extra cup of water - since the macaroni is going 
in dry. On low for six or so hours and it ought to be edible.

      Title: Dirty Dave's Slumgullion
 Categories: Beef, Pork, Vegetables, Pasta
      Yield: 3 Servings
 
      1 lb Ground meat
      1 md Onion; diced small
 14 1/2 oz Can diced or stewed tomatoes
      8 oz Can tomato sauce (I use El
           - Pato if I want it zippy)
      1 c  Elbow macaroni; heaping
      1 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Pepper
 
  In a large skillet, cook ground meat and onions. When meat
  is no longer pink, drain excess grease.
  
  In another pan, cook macaroni. Crush the tomatoes (if
  using stewed) and add them along with the sauce, macaroni,
  salt and pepper to the meat and onions in the skillet. Let
  the whole mixture simmer until some of the juice from the
  tomatoes cooks away.
  
  Feeds 3-4 people.
  
  This basic recipe has been in my family for years. I have
  eaten "Slum" since I was a child. You can toss in some
  sliced mushrooms if you wish.
