You’ll have to make do with the EP GO events listings until about 3:00pm or so. I going in for a pre-surgery exam with my ophthalmologist. I’ve been blind in one eye for a for couple of years now; maybe she can slice my orb up and put it back in good working order. We’ll see.
Once I’m finished with the eye mechanic, I’ll type up today’s Hot Air. You can figure out something else to do until then. — Big Mike
