    Irene Storm Track

    The county I live in, Cape May NJ, has ordered a mandatory evacuation. I was told today to come into work in the Am (I'm a physician assistant on a CG base) Will probably leave on saturday although sticking around and experiencing the storm would be interesting. Laid in a supply of water today

    I succumbed to the hype and bought some Vibram FiveFingers

    There are many types of uniforms in the services and rules that go along with wearing them. I know in the CG you can only wear a certain hat or shoes with a certain uniform. CG even tells you what type of a uniform ball cap you can wear. Thats part of being in the military; a consistant image.

    I succumbed to the hype and bought some Vibram FiveFingers

    After reading the Army statement if seems like you cannot wear the five toed shoes while in uniform which makes sense. CG has not issued any statements yet. I see plenty of AD wearing them in the gym when they are in civvies working out.

    Hikes near Atlantic City, NJ

    Island Beach State Park is an awesome place. If you want to go there, get there early. Parking is limited and once it reaches capacity, you cannot get into the park. There is hiking in the Pine Barrens on the Batona Trail. Its flat, sandy with lots of scrubby pine. North of Atlantic City is...

    Securing a Kayak? A bike?

    I've used the python? lock. it wraps around the kayaks and then the roof rack. It tightens up around the boats. Yes, you could probably cut the lock or the rack but it will certainly slow someone down.

    Chronic/late onset Lyme

    Save the tick when you take it off. I always give my patients the one shot dose of doxycycline that the literature recommends. I send the tick away to the lab to test for borrelia (the bacteria that causes Lyme). The test results are usually available in 24-48 hours. I do not wait the 6-8...

    I need some advice.....

    Not sure about you but I find if I read when working out on cardio equipment I do not work out as hard. It is boring riding an exercise bike. I usually listen to my ipod. If you are interested, I can send you the bike workout that the Coast Guard 5th week recruits do. Its tough. Takes about...
