I am getting my tetinus shot on Tuesday at my physical. Taking Tuesday off for it. I figure they will put me on that cholesteral stuff, and set up and appointment for the anal probe. My shoulder is just tendonitis, which is great news. Therapy to follow, I will insist on the hawt therapist that inflicts lots of pain. Damnit, I want to get all the mileage out of my health benifits that I can.. Next is dental work to replace my old fillings. Nothing they can do about ugly though. I checked. It's terminal.

2 videos of robberies
Police yesterday released video from surveillance cameras showing two robberies early Thursday.
In the first robbery, about 12 a.m., a man riding a silver bicycle targeted a 24-year-old Temple University student walking on Girard Avenue near 13th Street. The man shot the student in the stomach before taking off with the student's iPhone. The student remained hospitalized yesterday in stable condition. Police described the suspect as a thin black male in his late teens or early 20s, with long sideburns.
In the other videotaped robbery, two young Asian males with handguns, wearing dark T-shirts, black baseball caps and black Converse sneakers, entered a 7-Eleven on 10th Street near Snyder Avenue just after 3 a.m. and demanded money. One of the men fired a bullet above the store clerk's head, but the clerk was unharmed. The robbers got away with a substantial amount of Lottery money, police said.
