From the Desk of john Rourke – September 1st, 2017

 

Apologize for not publishing my normal “From the Desk of…” yesterday. I had to take Wifey to the ER. The short and sweet – She had swelling in her lower extremities and went to an urgent care facility. The doctor there was very concerned she may have a blood clot and sent us to the ER. There the doctor ruled out a blood clot but ran tests for that as well as other concerns. Everything came back good. Quite a relief and the doctor was very happy. She is now following up with her regular doctor but struggling to get an appointment. Currently, her appointment is 3 weeks out. If there is a cancellation she’ll go.

Hurricane Irma is far out in the Atlantic heading West and currently a Cat 3. Meteorologists are predicting it will strengthen to a Cat 4. The big question is where Irma will track.

Question: Anyone have an AR they are wanting to build? What is it? Would like to hear your concept. I’m not talking fantasy at work here, rather, a realistic build.
