quite the coincidence

[Herman]

Yes John, Good advise. Me as a medico myself can second that: Stay away from hospitals!
Ok, only next week then, I've to see a surgeon for my knee.

Dave, how does anyone find its way to Medford anyway?

Probably not to your taste here, H, too much culture, great wine valley, good music all around, herds of wily antelope, and the women are stunning. Or maybe it's the antelope are stunning, and the wimmin are wily.

Which town is bigger Medford or Visalia?

[Dave Bagwill]

Visalia's only has two advantages over Medford:

1. It is not Medford
2. Every lawn in Visalia is exactly 3/4" tall

[Kevin in California]

Yes our town is world renowned for our 3/4" lawns. One of my best friends is from Medford so it has to be a special place

[Dave Bagwill]

When my brother Judd lived in Visalia, we visited a few times (this was back in, oh, I reckon nineteen and seventy-five or so, before you were born, Tim - and I firmly believe there was at that time an ordinance, upon penalty of something, that one's lawn 'shall be exactly the same height as one's neighbor, and that height shall be 3/4", and each blade thereof shall have the color of Eden's First Lawn, before the Fall of Man, or, theologically, 'pre-lapsarian'.

Maybe things have changed since then, I've not been down South for many a year.

[Kevin in California]

Dave they have changed. Now if your lawn is anything but brown the water police give you a ticket
