Hi Dave,

Quite so. We even have the Simmons Cancer Institute.

Not heard of that one but I presume a top tier one.

Accordig to their on-line blurb: "Simmons Cancer Institute offers comprehensive cancer care, research and education at SIU School of Medicine." The doctor who did my gall bladder surgery is based there.

Still, doesn't have a name I recognise.

Cats are a different class of moocher. I had a cat once that followed
me around like a dog and demonstrated several dog-like traits. So much
so that I named her "Spot". One time I shared some leftover on the plate

Wasn't that the name of Data's (from Star Trek, The Next Generation)
cat also? My youngest sister just adopted a rescue kitten, part Bengal name Larry.

Yes, it was. A fact I learned post naming. I really don't waqtch much Babble Box .... except when I managed the satellite shop,

It was one of Steve's favorite shows when it ran. Since we only had the
one tv and it was in the living room, I was pretty much a captive
audience (tho I didn't watch, just heard) and picked up quite a bit
about it.

spaghetti w/meat sauce. Spot licked the sauce from the hamburger and
the noodles and left them behind. I really hated it when she
contracted feline aids and I had to tell the vet to do the obvious.

It's never easy; we had to give up our last cat because of health
issues. Folks that adopted her specialised in taking cats with health challenges so I hope she lived to a ripe old age. Never knew how old
she was; she was abused as a kitten and adopted out of a German animal shelter.

go for stuff as hot as I used to - for that very reason. But I still
put a glug of Frank's in my tomato juice.

I've come way down on my heat tolerance level. It was a high medium in
AZ and first part of HI, now down to mild with a bit of a kick.

Popeyes spicy chicken is fairly mild. But if I want to get stupid they offer a Ghost Pepper spiced sandwich or wings.

I go for the mild white; I like the taste of it better than spicy, dark.
It's a few pennies more but worth it, IMO.
