What medical situation not only required ‘urgent care’, but was also a redux of a problem that occurred exactly five years ago?

How many shopping bags will it take to carry Nazy’s purchase of ‘A bunch of bananas?) How many stairs are there from Mesa Road to the Pacific Ocean? Read More...
Arrow targets lottery flashing floods, Volvos and haircuts
Who turned on the rain in Santa Barbara? What does it mean to ‘shelter in place’ during a flash flood? (Will and indoor tent do the trick?) How did Dan come to own $20 in lottery tickets? (And why wasn’t he intervening when Arrow approached the vending machine?) Why won’t the ‘stylish’ haircut work for Dan? How much has inflation impacted mattress prices in the last 50 years? What happened when (the amazing) Azelle forgot about gravity? Read More...
