No, that definitely did not go well. I awoke from a general anesthetic Thursday morning to discover that they hadn’t performed the minor surgery I’d signed on for. Beyond my skills, the surgeon told me shortly. I didn’t see a sign of how bad it was until I was poking around in there. Really. So sorry. Don’t worry. This isn’t a case of “We’re sewing you shut and sending you home to die.” More like “We’re referring you to some specialist you can’t afford even with insurance and if said specialist slips up you’ll have major quality of life issues…

… but we may be about to find out. For days, news has been going around the alt-right that revelations are about to come out about the Clintons that are so far out there that every other Clinton scandal pales beside them. The accusations have been very specific and involved (among other things) child sex abuse on a large scale. But all this “news” had its origins in one unreliably sourced story on one website that nobody ever heard of before. So like a lot of people, I’ve been watching but skeptically.
