TriCore -- Really? Congrats to Slim Randles (sorry that I put both these in the same headline!)

TriCore Bad! Slim Randles Good!

TriCore Really?

I had a blood draw at TriCore North in Presbyterian. I had been putting it off for years and who knows, if I am dying maybe a blood draw will tell me, but that is another story.

So I went in. I was directed to a chair but someone got there before me and peed on the chair. You would think that a company concerned with blood and pee and handling them correctly would not allow patients to sit in pee but you would be wrong.



They also had handicapped door opening devices broken - that is against the law and stupid. They also had up 4th of July decorations – didn’t we do that already?



But that location had a posted award for being great. What if you weren’t great? I hate other people’s pee.

Happy 75th Birthday Slim Randles!!

Slim is, well Slim.


He tells stories. Slim has done everything from hunting, The Iditarod, archery, newspapers, pack mules, books, fishing, and now radio – 59 locations, and a syndicated newspaper column in 434 outlets.



Slim also has a new book, the Fly Fisherman’s Bucket List. And that book is getting a lot of attention all across the country.

Happy 75th Birthday, Slim! More to come!
