So, if your family had been on that plane, and you would have gone to
the hospital and killed the pilot as he lay in his hospital bed, and
then his family would have come after you, and yours would go after
his, and the next thing you know you have the end of civilization.

As I sit here this morning, staring at the monitor, typing on my
keyboard, trying to get enough caffeine in me to feel semi-human while
coming down with a cold that my daughter probably brought home from
school, I have to think that civilization is entirely overrated...

And as I sit here this morning, waiting to catch a plane to Manila
where I will have surgery for a hernia, I am almost inclined to agree.

Still, civilization has its advantages. Hernia surgery, I suppose, is
better than having some guy dressed in mask and feathers waving a stick
with a monkey's skull mounted on it over me.

Don't knock it until you've tried it... grin

It probably works as well as strapping magnets to your bod, which was
all the rage in America a few years back. :-)

Just out of curiosity, why are you travelling to Manila for the surgery?

The local hospitals are substandard, to say the least. Also, doctors
here have a way of prescribing whatever procedures are most profitable,
whether they are necessary or not. A number of our missionaries have
been threatened with unnecessary appendectomies when all they had was
gastroenteritis. The best Filipino doctors and nurses have a habit of
leaving the country. Actually, I am not all that excited about Manila,
either, but at least we have an American doctor there who will review
everything.

I know he's been in the PI for some time on missionary work, but something
in an earlier post led me to believe he was back in the US. Am I mistaken?
If so, never mind, it all gels. Sorry.

What's the co-pay with that monkey skull plan?

Good luck with the hernia repair.
