Always grateful when bad stuff isn't very bad

    Dad had an appointment with the dermatologist today regarding what was probably another spot of skin cancer on his face. Unfortunately, that was what it was, but it was a quick excision. It was big enough to require stitches, but I'm sure Dad very much preferred this, because he didn't at all enjoy last time when he walked around with an open wound for a month. Don't know what the doctor was thinking that time! He's seeing a different dermatologist now.
    Similarly, while the rains have been an almost daily occurrence and while last night's were almost biblical in scale, we've had remarkably few ill effects. My friend Gypsye had a power failure last night and a tree fell against her house last week, but damage was minimal. Many, many other trees have fallen around town, but so far I've heard of a lot of miraculous escapes but little in the way of awful results. Hopefully we can keep this up, and ditto with the dermatologist!
