From dangerous to safest in 20 miles

It was brought to my attention today while shootin’ the shit with some of the surgery residents that our 20 mile move was actually a much larger one.

The residents were looking up the recently released FBI stats on the safest and most dangerous cities in America. In a quick 20 minute drive up the I-75, we moved from the 2nd most dangerous to the 6th safest. Even a Detroitian can tell you Troy is safer than Detroit, but I never consciously thought that everyday I travel from the top to the bottom, and when I’m not on call, back again.

Weather update

So I was thinking, maybe the last couple winters were a little colder than normal. Maybe the averages were inaccurate. Maybe the weather archives were wrong. Maybe I’m stupid.

Well, the warmth of 60 deg days are over now.

Time for nothing

Surgery is pretty busy and it’s even worse when you aren’t quite sure what you want to do.

But I still found the time to change the hands and date ring on my new watch in time for the time change. Phew, that’s actually more time than I thought.

I chose these hands to look more like the IWC Mark XV pilot’s watch that I like. The quality of the hands are not as high as I’d want, but they are still pretty good.
