sixyears, don’t get me wrong. I think we should have universal healthcare. However, it is expensive. My feeling is that the defense budget should be cut.
“It’s hard to imagine a street as busy as Pennsylvania Ave. being a dirt road as late as the ’60s.”
Much of the area was undeveloped when we moved there.
This should give you an idea of what the area was once like…as this picture faces East, you would turn “right” to head down Pennsylvania Avenue to head toward the Belt Parkway:
sixyears – I’m pretty sure that non-invasive ultrasound technique was invented by a German doctor, not US.
Ditto – don’t know who invented it, and obviously lots of our tech comes from other places (in spite of what many Americans think). That said, I don’t want it to fall by the wayside.
In any case, one reason our health care is getting more expensive is because someone (thankfully I have insurance as a city employee) has to pay for such things. If all we did was piss out our kidney stones into the urinals of the world, it would be pretty cheap, but nobody wants that.
GC, thank you so much, seriously. I love Mary’s, need more Japanese places, will put down all of these on my list of places to try. (I used to love Babbo but I’m tired of it.)
ENY, great pic. I wonder what year that was.
DIBS, as soon as you turn your back their annexing this place and invading that place…

Babbo was disapointing – but probably because it was so freakin hard to get a reservation, i was expecting something out of this world.
Is their phone line still busy 24/7?

SixYears, congrats on the easy procedure.
Sorry its not ultrasound, its Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) uber alles. But it was invented in Germany.
Most things that the Germans do are invasive, ditto. 🙂
