It's got electrolytes!

A KCPD car whipped past me where 169 meets 29. Before Barry, two police cars had a truck pulled over. Two more officers had something going on just past Barry on 169 and a police van was heading there when I was at the light. Too bad KCPD doesn’t have open scanner traffic!

Bah, I guess they don’t cover parking for people showing up for the first day. And they say jurors aren’t allowed to park in that garage? But I don’t know how they can police that! You pull a ticket, no one is asking you whether you’re there for jury duty. www.16thcircuit.org/juror-faq

You might call the jury office to ask about it. You might be able to get a parking ticket in one of their garages nearby validated. There is a garage at 12th and Oak that’s super close. I used that one when I covered court stuff.

It’s so frustrating. They really like to push NPs, too. I’m going to schedule my Sept 2026 appointment as I’m leaving the clinic so I don’t have to deal with this next year.

I get that schedulers are gatekeepers to very busy doctors and their schedules, but “no, this isn’t possible”—when it clearly very much is possible—is ridiculous.

Reluctantly scheduled an NP visit and got on the dr’s waitlist. Feel pretty strongly about seeing the dr himself, tho, this is long-term cancer surveillance, not an appointment for funsies. So frustrating.
