Yikes. That would scare me. Not for any rational reason,
just a gut reaction. I'm squeamish.

2x wellness exam
2x blood pressure
2x geriatric panel
2x distemper/parvo titre
1x Adrenal Panel (single biggest dent, at $345 + $60 overnight charge)
1x MSU thyroid panel

Whoa! to the adrenal panel. I never had that done for
Greta, despite her Cushingoid-y situation. We sometimes had
bills of over $1000 at Cornell but that generally involved
admission to the hospital for a complex of diagnostic tests.

Manassas has changed significantly. I suppose all of NoVA has changed
significantly, but more so the outlying suburbs. Loudon and Prince William
have gone blue! That's one trend that will be difficult to reverse.

A few months ago I took a look at Herndon on Google Maps,
and the area formerly known as Cooktown has been paved over
with overpriced housing developments. Good riddance to
Cooktown! Some stuff needs to be plowed under and paved
over. It was the black part of Herndon, and the pavement
and all city services stopped at the edge of it. I didn't
have black students in my classes until high school. Over
the past decade or two Virginia has become a much better
place.
