What to Do in Houston in 3 Days

Let me start by telling you about the Houston psyche. We’re proud of our city but not boastful. We know that we don’t have snow-capped mountains or crystal blue oceans, but we do know that this swamp is still a great place to live. According to U-Haul, Houston has placed as the #1 relocation destination in the United States for seven years in a row.

Houston is also a diverse city attracting people from all over the world. More than 20% of all area residents are foreign born, or approximately 1.34 million people. 10% of Houston residents were born in Mexico, and many more come from Latin America and Asia, especially Vietnam and China. 92 countries have consular offices in the city, the third most in the nation.

Houston is big, thriving, and cosmopolitan. This guide will take you on a walking tour of beautiful parks and vibrant urban spaces, into world-class museums and institutions, and through unique cultural spots and local hang outs.

Houston Day 1 – Walking Tour, Downtown

Tolerance Statues (365 Houston)

Tolerance Statues (365 Houston)

On my first day in a city, I like to do a lot of walking to get a feel for the place. Today’s itinerary involves about 3 miles of walking through and ending at beautifully developed parks; you won’t need a car or a train the entire day. Start by getting breakfast (or lunch) at The Dunlavy, which overlooks Lost Lake inside of Buffalo Bayou Park.

After a nice meal, walk a few minutes to the middle of Jackson Hill pedestrian bridge and take a picture of Houston’s amazing skyline; this is one of the best spots. Now walk under the “Bat Bridge” under Waugh Drive and make sure not to get pooped on. After observing the bats, continue walking east along the bayou towards downtown.

Along the way, stop and admire the art installations including the Gus Wortham Fountain across from the AIG tower, Tolerance Statues just after the Montrose

bridge, and the Spindle sculpture across from the Federal Reserve Bank. And if you just realized that your finger was covering the lens during your first skyline photo op, stop at the Rosemont Pedestrian bridge after Montrose to try again.

In the likely event you’re doing this walking tour on a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, you might want to cross the bayou at Sabine street to visit the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern. The cistern was an underground water storage facility built in 1926. Today it’s an eery but cool place to view art installations.

As you approach the Interstate 45 overpass that loops downtown, continue to walk on the pedestrian path along the bayou and take a picture of the Buffalo Bayou Torch, which is on one of the interstate’s supporting columns. Walk under the interstate and cross into Sam Houston Park heading towards Bagby and McKinney streets. Houston City Hall and Houston Public Library stand on either sides of McKinney.

Continue walking east along McKinney, passing Hermann Square on your left. At Louisiana street, turn left and walk for three blocks until you get to the intersection of Louisiana and Capitol, which marks the center of the Theatre District. On the Southwest corner is the Bank of America building at 700 Louisiana, forever ingrained into my memory as a landmark from Sim City 2000.

Walk across the street into the center of Jones Plaza. To your east is the Houston Symphony at Jones Hall. To your west is the Sundance movie theatre. To your north is the Alley Theatre and somewhat obscured to the left of the Alley Theatre is the Wortham Theatre, home of the Houston Grand Opera.

During your Super Bowl Stay, only the Houston Symphony and Alley Theatre are performing.

Now walk north out of Jones Plaza to Texas Avenue and head east. Your first landmark is the really tall building just behind Jones Hall. This is the JPMorgan Chase Tower, which at 75 stories and 1002 feet is the tallest building in Texas and 15th tallest in the United States; the funky sculpture in front is entitled “Personage and Birds” by Joan Miró. Unfortunately, there’s no publicly accessible observation deck, lounge, or bar.

Main Street Square

Walk another block east and you’ll hit Main Street. Main Street was the center of a revitalized Houston downtown starting with Super Bowl 37 in 2004. Looking towards Main Street, you’ll see the Rice Lofts on your left.  Now an expensive apartment building, it was originally a hotel built in 1913 before closing in 1977. It went unused until it reopened as an expensive apartment in 1998.

As you’re admiring Main Street, try not to get hit by the train! The light rail in front of you was built in order to shuttle visitors from downtown to what was then called Reliant Stadium. For transportation wonks, the train is the Siemens S70, which is also used in San Diego, Charlotte, Portland, St. Paul Minneapolis, Atlanta, and Seattle (in addition to plenty of variations throughout Europe).

If you’re starting to feel hungry, there are plenty of options downtown for lunch. Just ask Siri, Google, Alexa, or Cortana for assistance. However, this walk will take you right by Sambuca (South American), Azuma (sushi), Flying Saucer (gastro pub), Morton’s Steakhouse, and Pappa Brothers Steakhouse. McCormick and Schmicks and the other options at Green Street are just a two block detour. Additionally, you know that the “free music festival” at Discovery Green will have plenty of fast food options, but there’s also the upscale Grove (American) right inside the park.

Walk south along Main Street for four blocks until you get to Main Street Square at McKinney; turn left to head east. After five blocks you’ll be at Discovery Green Park, which fronts the George R. Brown Convention Center.

Super Bowl Live

Rendering of Super Bowl Live at Discovery Green

The city of Houston and local businesses made a significant investment in sprucing up the area around Discovery Green for Super Bowl 51.

Here, you can enjoy strolling around the park but also the numerous bars and restaurants in the area. In particular, check out the numerous options around Avenida Houston.

Later in the evening, if you want to get some culture in, you can double back to the Theatre District to catch a show at the Alley Theatre or Symphony (buy tickets in advance). In particular, Yo-Yo Ma is playing at 7:30pm on February 4.

For dinner, the new hot spot is supposed to be Xochi at the Marriott. But if you’re feeling traditional,  the energy executives love pumping money over steaks at Pappa Brothers, Morton’s, and McCormick and Schmick’s.

Now it’s 10pm and you’re feeling cultured after enjoying the world’s preeminent cellist. The night is still young! You can continue resting your weary legs by catching a movie at the reserved-seating Sundance movie theatre or you can get your drink on at the numerous bars and clubs along Main Street (look for my college buddy’s name on the wall at the Flying Saucer). After a few drinks at Main Street, you could take the light rail to the bars at Midtown or get a ride to Washington or the Rice Village.

Houston Day 2 – Museums, Parks

McGovern Centennial Gardens (Hermann Park Conservancy)

McGovern Centennial Gardens (Hermann Park Conservancy)

As the fourth largest city in the United States and home to very profitable & philanthropic energy, biotech, and healthcare companies, Houston has great museums. Assuming you’re staying downtown or otherwise near the light rail, you probably won’t need a car today either. In fact, a car will probably just be a parking liability.

Start your morning by heading to the Museum of Fine Arts, which has an excellent permanent collection of something for everybody. If you’ve got kids in tow; however, they might prefer going to the Children’s Museum.

Wow, everybody gets hungry earlier after going to a museum don’t they? Your best bet is to avail yourself of the options offered by the museums themselves unless you’re also planning to go to the zoo, in which case there are more options there too. There are also great options just across from the Children’s Museum including Barnaby’s (casual American) and Dak and Bop (Korean).

Dinosaurs at the Houston Museum of Natural Science (Houston Museum District

Dinosaurs at the Houston Museum of Natural Science (Houston Museum District)

Next up, I recommend going to the Museum of Natural Science, which in particular has an excellent new dinosaur hall, fancy displays about drilling for oil, and a beautiful butterfly garden. But on your way, don’t miss the Mecom Fountain, which is one of the most photographed spots in the city, and is a particular favorite for newly weds, quinceañeras, prom goers, and drunk Rice University students. Just watch out for all the cars.

After you’ve gotten your fill of museums, walk across the small parking lot in front of the Natural Science Museum to the McGovern Centennial Garden. The McGovern Gardens only opened in 2014 and have a lot of cool attractions including a climbable mound/ water feature that resembles a Mayan burial hill, a Japanese garden, roses, and lots of sculptures. It’s free.

Now let’s go to the Health Museum just across the street! Or if you’re tired of museums, continue enjoying the outdoors by walking into Hermann Park. This 445-acre, well-maintained park in the middle of the city is home to a pretty lake, an outdoor theatre, the zoo, and a golf course. I highly recommend taking in the reflection pool, lake, and Japanese garden.

Continue enjoying the outdoors by heading to the Houston Zoo to check out the fancy new gorilla exhibit, feed the giraffes, walk among the trees, and ride the carousel.  The really tall buildings you see while in the zoo are part of the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical center in the world. Hopefully you won’t need to visit anytime soon.

Rice University

Rice University

After you’ve gotten your fill of the animals, walk out of the zoo and out of the park going west towards Rice University. Rice is consistently ranked as one of the top 20 universities in the nation, a top value, and home of the happiest undergraduates.

More importantly for you, Rice’s $5.5 billion endowment means it has a really pretty campus with beautiful live oaks and fancy buildings. Ask a student for directions to “Willy’s Statue,” which is in the heart of the academic quad, where you can take a picture in front of the Sallyport. Then turn around and walk around the library to get a snack and coffee at the glass Brochstein Pavilion.

While you’re enjoying your coffee, contemplate these two things – war profiteering and personal butlers. The university’s namesake, William Marsh Rice, made his money by selling weapons to both the North and the South during the civil war. And the university almost didn’t get the money because Marsh’s evil butler schemed to steal it for himself.

After enjoying your café stop, continue following the walkways southwest to the Baker Institute, which is unlocked during business hours. In front is a fancy fountain and inside you’ll find lots of memorabilia from former Secretary of State under George H.W. Bush James A. Baker. Walk through the main floor to the back, and you’ll see a section of the Berlin Wall.

Now head back towards the front of the Baker Institute and walk towards the enormous building with lots of columns. That building is the Shepherd School of Music, which is consistently ranked one of the top 3 non-conservatory music schools in the nation.

Along the way, enjoy the artwork and of course stop to admire James Turrell’s “Twilight Epiphany” Skyspace, which looks again like a Mayan burial mound. If you time your walk right, you can enjoy the free light show at sunset.

Continuing your walking tour through Rice – did I mention I was once a student tour guide – southwest through the Shepherd School (again, it should be unlocked during business hours) and exit on the other side looking out towards a sea of asphalt parking lot – and – the home of 1974’s Super Bowl 8, Rice Stadium!

Rice Stadium seats 70,000 people (just 2,220 fewer than NRG), and if you took every Rice student or alumnus living or dead, we wouldn’t be able to fill it up. Also, John F. Kennedy delivered his famous “We choose to go to the moon” speech here in 1962. The stadium should be accessible; just look for the entrance sign.

The Rice Village (Rice University Kinder Institute)

The Rice Village (Rice University Kinder Institute)

Now exit the stadium and walk southwest to University Boulevard and follow this street west towards Rice Village. On your right, you’ll pass the bike track, which is where once a year the students drink a bunch of beer and race around the track in what’s known as “Beer Bike.” Just because they’re book smart doesn’t mean they’re street smart.

Continue along University and cross Greenbriar then Chaucer then Morningside. At the intersection of Morningside and University, look out for drivers turning right. I was nearly run over here several years ago.

Welcome to the Rice Village. “The Village” is kind of like your typical college town. On one hand it caters to the relatively poor college students but on the other hand it thrives off of the rich people who live just across the street in the affluent West University neighborhood. There are a lot of chain clothing stores in addition to little mom and pops.

Again, you can ask your digital assistant of choice for restaurant recommendations, but the one that I’ve gone to almost weekly since arriving in Houston in 2003 is D’Amico’s, which is casual Italian. If you want fancier Italian, Prego is just down the street. Torchy’s Taco’s is kind of an institution (from Austin), and there are some fancier restaurants in the Hanover development including Coppa Osteria (Itlaian), Punk’s Simple Southern, and Cyclone Anaya’s (Mexican).

Alternatively, just a 2 mile car ride up the street in Upper Kirby is the posh West Ave development where you can find high end fare like Eddie V’s (seafood), Del Frisco’s (steak), Pondicheri (Indian), and CRU (wine).

Once you’re full, the Village is one of the popular drinking areas in town. Most of the bars (Gorgeous Gael, Ginger Man, Little Woodrow’s) are on the east side of Morningside. Of course, you can also catch a show downtown or head to Montrose, Midtown, Main Street, or Washington to continue the party well into the night.

Driving Day 3 – NASA, Shopping, and Neighborhoods

Space Center Houston (Trekaroo)

For your third day in Houston, it’s time to hop in a rental car or hire a driver. It’s kind of wrong to come to “Space City” and not go to NASA, so your first stop is to drive 30 minutes southeast along Interstate 45 to NASA’s Space Center Houston. You’ll easily be able to spend several hours here learning about all things space. Highlights include spacecraft like Gemini V and Apollo 17, the Boeing shuttle carrier, and the behind-the-scenes tram tour.

If you plan to go on a Friday, you can also have lunch with a real live astronaut ($70 for adults, $36 for children 11 and under). Otherwise, you’re probably going to want to eat lunch at the space center’s cafes or at a chain restaurant along I-45 on your drive back into Houston. Or if you had a really big breakfast, you might be able to hold your hunger until you visit the Galleria (unless you’d rather visit the amusement park at Kemah Boardwalk).

The Galleria Mall (Pinterest)

The Galleria Mall (Simon)

Only incorporated in 1837, Houston is a young city. Before we grew into our fourth largest city status and developed great attractions like beautiful parks, museums, national sports franchises, and world-class performance venues and companies, all we had to do with our oil money was to go shopping. So your next stop is to Houston’s monument to retail, the Galleria.

Let your credit card company know where you are, because the Galleria will help you spend everything you didn’t already spend on your Super Bowl tickets. There are more than 350 stores here ranging from H&M to Macy’s to Neiman to Sak’s to Tiffany’s.  Of course, there are plenty of dining options including the food court and stand-alone restaurants like Kona Grill, the Oceanaire, and the Cheesecake Factory.

When your credit card company cuts you off, head outside again and cross Alabama on foot towards the Williams Tower, which at 64 stories and 902 feet is the second tallest building in Houston. Like the Chase Tower, there’s no place to enjoy a drink and the view, but you can walk directly south of the tower to the Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park. Here you can stand in the middle of this 64-foot semi-circular fountain and just feel the awesome power of 78,500 gallons of water falling 20 feet around you.

Once you’ve finished with the Waterwall, head back to your parked car and decide where you want to drive next. I think you should visit one of the more interesting but less accessible neighborhoods like River Oaks, the Houston Heights, or Chinatown.

The Gerald D. Hines Waterwall (Wikipedia)

The Gerald D. Hines Waterwall (Wikipedia)

River Oaks is arguably the richest neighborhood in Houston. If you decide to drive through, it will be just to gawk at the mansions. The Heights is essentially a small town, which is novel because it’s a small town in the middle of the 4th largest city in the US, and it has a beautiful “Rails to Trails” bike and walking path. I recommend going to Chinatown (note that I’m an ABC who has lived in Beijing and Shanghai).

As a district or a neighborhood, Chinatown isn’t that impressive. You won’t find a fancy gate to take a picture with, and it’s not so dense that it feels like walking around in Hong Kong. However, like every other place I’ve taken you to so far, you just need to pick the right area to park your car and have a good time.

First off, the best Chinese food is probably at Fung’s Kitchen right off of I59 at Bellaire Boulevard. By best, I mean, the most authentic, the freshest seafood, and the most talented chef. This is fancy Chinese; it’s most popular for Dim Sum during brunch on Saturdays and Sundays; however, you can also skip the crowds and get a great dinner (and order dim sum a la carte) any time you want. If you go, you have to get the Peking duck.

Fung’s just off the highway location is both an asset and a demerit. If you want to get great Chinese food without driving too far, it’s the perfect location; however, if you want to experience more of Chinatown, you’ll need to follow Bellaire Boulevard several miles west.

I recommend driving to the Dun Huang Plaza at the southwest corner of Bellaire Boulevard and Corporate Drive. Dun Huang is kind of like the Galleria of Chinatown on a much smaller scale.

Dun Huang Plaza (CNN)

At Dun Huang you can park the car and take your pick of any number of Asian restaurants. You really can’t go wrong with any place here, but the places I go to regularly include East Wall (Cantonese), Mamak (Malaysian), and Nu Café (dessert). A typical night in Chinatown for me includes dinner, dessert, and foot massages.

If you haven’t had a Chinese foot massage, you’re missing out. For about $20 plus tip (I do $10), your masseuse will soak your feet in a hot water bath while massaging your head, shoulders, and arms. Then they’ll massage each foot individually (while the other foot remains warm in a towel). To finish up, they’ll ask you to turn over for a ten-minute back massage (you keep your clothes on). The whole experience lasts a full hour. There are at least five massage places in Dun Huang, but I’ve had great experiences at Canyon, Oasis, and Lilly. You can also get western style massages for low prices too.

So now you’re full and relaxed, but the night is still relatively young. Since you’re in Chinatown, I recommend renting a private karaoke room with your friends at one of the KTV places and singing and drinking the night away! But if that’s not your thing, hop back in the car and head back to the hot spots of Downtown, Midtown, Washington, Montrose, or Rice Village.

A Local’s Driving Directions to the Galleria from NASA

  1. Take the Newcastle Drive exit, which is the last exit on 59 before 610 (bypass the long line of parked cars who are waiting to get onto 610 because they don’t know this route).
  2. Follow the feeder road to Richmond Avenue and turn left at the light to Richmond. Continue west on Richmond until you hit the light at Sage.
  3. Turn right on Sage and head north until you get to West Alabama.
  4. Turn right onto West Alabama and look for the stop light at the pedestrian cross walk in front of the Banana Republic (right side).
  5. Immediately after the cross walk is the entrance for the “Green Garage.” As you turn in, you can’t see anything, but just trust that no one is going the wrong way on a one way entrance and you’ll be alright.

A Local’s Driving Directions to Chinatown from the Galleria

  1. From I-59 exit Bellaire and turn right onto Bellaire Boulevard
  2. Drive four miles until you hit Corporate
  3. At Corporate, turn left.
  4. Drive about 1 block until you see the entrance on your right before East Wall Restaurant. If you see Bush Elementary on your right, you’ve missed it.
  5. Inside the parking lot, take the first right and follow that driveway into the garage, where you’ll be able to find parking on one of its many levels. Parking is free.

Paranoid Rumination From A Freshly-Minted Migraineur

As I sit here writing, I perceive a scintillating band of zig-zags in the shape of a reverse C on the left side of my visual field. I sense the scintillating reverse C with either, or both eyes closed, and I first noted it when the letters in the New Yorker article I was reading became obscured by the C. Attempts to focus on the crescent are futile:  it moves as I move my eyes or head. Within its body are vague browns, blacks and whites, and overall it is reminiscent of an Egyptian or Art Deco piece of art.
I have a friend in Brooklyn, a flaneur, and one in Florida, a raconteur; I have now become a migraineur: one who suffers from migraine headaches or, in my case, the visual or tactile hallucinations known as migraine aura that precede the headaches.
I go to my bookshelf and find Oliver Sacks’ book “Migraine: Understanding a Common Disorder, which I purchased long ago when I was not a migraineur (primarily to complete my collection of Sacks’ unique and brilliant writing).  On page 62, figure 2b, I find a drawing which closely approximates what I’m “seeing.”

An artistic depiction of migraine aura which was similar to mine. Original source is unclear.

I had asked Siri to start the timer on my Apple watch when I first noticed the visual disturbance, and now note that at 16 minutes 32 seconds, my vision was back to normal. At 25 minutes 16 seconds, I experienced a very subtle ache in my left frontal region which persisted for 5 minutes.
I have observed patients with severe migraine headaches: suffering from nausea, intense pain, photosensitivity and requiring dark and sleep and powerful analgesics to cause remission. I am fortunate because my after-aura headaches, if any, are minimal and brief.
The first time I experienced the visual hallucination was five years ago. I was not blogging then, but made a detailed note of the experience, complete with paranoid rumination on brain testing and side effects of MRIs. What follows is the transcript with the comments of the present day skeptical cardiologist in green or red.

“I had a crazy day Thursday. I gave a talk to the echo lab from 7 to 8 AM and then rushed over to the hospital to see the most urgent of the 9 inpatients I had. I had seen 4 patients by the time I got paged to see my first patient in the office. I headed over there and saw 6 patients . Then I hurried back to the hospital to grab the EKGs I was supposed to read that day. I was a little stressed because I needed to read these and try to see more of my inpatients before heading over to the outpatient testing facility which I had to be at by 1230 to supervise stress testing. I sat down in my hospital office and started reading the EKGs. After I had read a few, I became aware of a defect on the left side of my vision. It felt like when you have looked at a bright light and it leaves a residual on your retina.
At first I thought it was due to the fact that i was reading the EKGs with only the desk lamp on my left on. I turned on the overhead light and it didn’t help. I then realized that I had a hockey puck shaped defect in my left visual field in both eyes. When the defect covered key portions of the EKG, I couldn’t read it. It was filled with a jagged, prism like filling. Otherwise I felt fine. My first thought was that I was having a scintillating scotoma and that this was a migraine aura. Other things seemed much less likely-TIA for example. I called Dr S, my favorite neurologist, on his cell phone and told him what was going on. He suggested I visit him in his office right then. His office was in 400 East which would necessitate a right turn from my office. Instead, I took a left turn down to the West office building, took the elevator up to the fourth floor and finally realized my mistake when all I could find were office numbers that ended in W. (At the time young Dr. P felt this disorientation was related to the aura but perhaps it was due to distraction) By the time I reached his office twenty minutes after the visual symptoms started, they had resolved.
Dr. S did a neuro exam and history, and concluded that I most likely had a migraine aura but thought that I should get an MRI to be certain there was no structural brain disease. After I left his office I began feeling slightly nauseated with a slight headache. Over the next two hours the headache became a moderate frontal headache associated with a sense of fatigue.
I got the MRI yesterday and Dr. S thinks it is normal, although the radiologist read it as showing small subcortical defects which could be consistent with “chronic migraine, small vessel disease, or demyelinating process.”
I almost didn’t get the MRI. This is one of the classic situations in medicine where the history and physical alone makes the diagnosis with near certainty (young Dr. P is correct, see what Choosing Wisely says here), but because a very small number of cases might have something more serious (a brain tumor or vascular lesion in this case ), (perhaps also fueled by medical legal concerns and patient’s love of fancy tests) an expensive imaging test is ordered.
If you took 1000 people with my symptoms and the normal neuro exam with low atherosclerotic risk factors, and did brain MRIs on them, the vast majority of findings would be incidental, probably false positives (I believe young Dr. P made up this statistic but the national migraine center in the UK says :

“The main problem with MRI scans is ‘looking for a shilling and finding a sixpence,’ in finding abnormalities that are unrelated to headache, entirely by chance. The risk of a minor abnormality of no medical significance is 1 in 4. The risk of a chance abnormality that might need treatment is about 1 in 40. Once these ‘incidentalomas’ have been found, the patient may then find it difficult to obtain insurance (for example travel) and there is often a temptation to repeat the scan time and time again to check that the ‘incidentaloma’ is not changing..)

False positives lead to unnecessary anxiety in patients and in some cases unnecessary testing (Dr. S told me that he sees tons of patients who have had normal MRIs with readings similar to mine who are convinced they have MS) (MS=multiple sclerosis, a demyelinating process. Although my MRI was read as having abnormalities possibly due to a “demyelinating process” I must not have had one because  6 years later I have had no other symptoms)) and in some cases unnecessary additional testing.

As I was lying in the MRI gantry listening to the “ratatat “of the scanner, I wondered if we really know the consequences of rearranging the molecules of brain tissue with giant magnetic fields.
Dr. S  had ordered the MRI with gadolinium. I recalled seeing adds from law firms seeking “victims” of MRI scans (one man was awarded 5 million dollars after developing nephrogenic systemic fibrosis after one dose of gadolinium (NSF). I knew that gadolinium had been linked to some really serious disorders. The tech had said nothing to me about adverse effects of the “dye” she would be using. My nose began itching like crazy, then my left eyelid. I couldn’t scratch until I emerged from the scanner. After the initial images were done and I was brought out of the scanner, I scratched my face like crazy and asked the tech if there were any side effects from gadolinium.
“Why yes, she said, you can have severe allergic reactions,” but we’ve only had a couple.” Also, she said, there is some disorder… she couldn’t remember the name or what it did but knew that it was only a problem if you had kidney failure or had diabetes and were over the age of 60.
As I was lying in the scanner after receiving the gadolinium, I began trying to estimate what risk I would be willing to assume in this situation. The disease you can get if you have severely impaired kidney function and receive gadolinium is nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
Would I accept a 1 in 1/1000 chance of NSF in exchange for diagnosing something other than migraine 1/1000 times? I couldn’t and can’t easily and logically make that call. I have no idea how patients can make these decisions.

Cephalgiacally  Yours
Here’s a video of an aura similar to mine (one of many posted at visual migraine animation)

Migraine experiences have served as a major source of artistic inspiration in both past and contemporary painters, sculptors, film-makers and other visual artists. Check some of their work out at migraine aura foundation.

  1. Jeffrey Patten: After over 35 years experience as a migraine, I know all the triggers. Stress was the trigger of my first migraine at age 18. I did not have another migraine for 9 years. Then I had my first of many monthly migraines starting at age 27.

  2. I thought you might find this interesting: I had never had aural migraines before I was pregnant with my first child. Later in my first pregnancy I had two or three: the vibrating crystal “C” that was all nice and rainbowy, but made it hard to read or work until it passed. It started in the center of my vision, then expanded until it disappeared at the periphery. Then as soon as I delivered, I didn’t have them any more. My next pregnancy was with twins, and the aural migraines came back and were far more frequent, and again ceased as soon as I delivered. Luckily there was never an actual headache involved, but I started to worry I’d get one while driving. Do you think this could have to do with the increase in blood volume during pregnancy creating more pressure on the blood vessels that are involved in migraines?

    • Heather,
      Thanks for sharing your story. I don’t think the migraines your experienced during pregnancy would be directly related to increased blood volume.
      The “vascular hypothesis” you are referencing and which I was taught in medical school has been discredited.
      Fluctuating hormones, specifically serotonin and estrogen are now thought to be playing a role. Clearly pregnancy is a major cause of fluctuating hormones. From the John Hopkins page on migraines:
      Today, it is widely understood that chemical compounds and hormones, such as serotonin and estrogen, often play a role in pain sensitivity for migraine sufferers.
      One aspect of migraine pain theory explains that migraine pain happens due to waves of activity by groups of excitable brain cells. These trigger chemicals, such as serotonin, to narrow blood vessels. Serotonin is a chemical necessary for communication between nerve cells. It can cause narrowing of blood vessels throughout the body.
      When serotonin or estrogen levels change, the result for some is a migraine. Serotonin levels may affect both sexes, while fluctuating estrogen levels affect women only.
      For women, estrogen levels naturally vary over the life cycle, with increases during fertile years and decreases afterwards. Women of childbearing age also experience monthly changes in estrogen levels. Migraines in women are often associated with these fluctuating hormone levels and may explain why women are more likely to have migraines than men.
      Some research suggests that when estrogen levels rise and then fall, contractions in blood vessels may be set off. This leads to throbbing pain. Other data suggest that lower levels of estrogen make facial and scalp nerves more sensitive to pain.

      • I figured that out myself (the estrogen connection) when I began to have recurring migraines (I was a computer programmer at the time). This was prior to the Internet in the early 1980s. The pattern was obvious to someone who was working in a pattern recognition field.

  3. I have HRHS. I have these or something akin to it, except it takes up most of my field of vision, can last all day, and there’s no pain. It may be in one eye or both. A dr suggested I take a baby aspirin when it happens and surprisingly it works.

  4. Dear son. I have had zig-zag flashes for many years now. Mine are not associated with pain or discomfort. They usually last about 20 to 30 minutes. The eye dr said they were harmless. He thought allergies might contribute. Dad

  5. My experience was much the same as you described. But there was never any headache. Back in 1988 I had just had a mitral valve repair, and that meant I had to undergo MRIs and even a course of Warfarin before docs decided it was migraine. But I also had some rarer episodes which were in just one eye or the other. A neurologist, based on blood tests, said I was positive for anticardiolipin and put me on low-dose aspirin for years. That may have reduced the migraines. Subsequent tests for aCL were normal. MRIs were normal. Aspirin was discontinued. I am experimenting with riboflavin 400 mg/d. Episodes seem rarer. In any case, 29 years after onset, my vision is good and I am surprisingly healthy. But the medical maze I have traversed was interesting…

    • Your doctors were likely troubled that some episodes occurred in one eye. Such a visual disturbance in one eye strongly implies a small clot flying off into the retinal artery.
      I’m wondering if you had anything done to your left atrial appendage at the time of mitral valve repair.?

      • Yes, that has been the concern. No, my LAA was untouched in my 1988 mitral repair. A little more of my story:
        In 2008, I began having afib episodes and was soon put on a NOAC. I also had two ablation procedures which were relatively successful. I have remained on the NOAC (now Eliquis). The migraines and single-eye events have continued as before.
        I was referred to a neuro-ophthalmologist a couple of years ago. After much testing–MRI, MRA, EEG(!), etc–he suggested I was having spasms of the arterioles supplying the retina. Suggested a Ca channel blocker if it worsened.
        My reading makes me think we don’t really understand migraine. In particular, we don’t know how vascular and neural processes interact. My guess is that I actually have a migraine-like process that occurs in my eyes.
        I found a good description here:
        Note that my textbook migraine auras and my ocular migraines both started at essentially the same time.

  6. I began having identical migraines about 6 years ago (age 57 the) while working in the ER one evening. I was wondering why the lights were so bright, and why I could not focus on the laceration I was suturing. Then I noted the zig/zag pattern you describe. No real pain, trace of nausea maybe, gone in about 20 minutes. A few weeks later, same time (about 11 PM) same thing happened again. I took motrin, better in about 20 minutes. I suspected the cause of the problem was another colleague on duty both nights who irritated me, but now they come and go at different times. I’ve learned they go away in 20 minutes with or without meds.

    • Thanks, Bob.
      Your scenarios closely mirrors mine except fortunately I was reading EKGs rather than doing a procedure on a patient.
      I have no irritating colleagues to blame (or rather I don’t find the auras related to contact with irritating colleagues :))
      While initially they seemed to be related to stress the last few were random.
      Resolution in 20 minutes is reassuring and I’m thinking if one lasts more than 30 minutes I might be calling my neurologist buddy.

      • My later life migraines (without aura) seemed to occur most often when a period of particularly trying emotional stress was OVER – or near enough to anticipate.
        Does that fit others’ experience?

  7. I first experienced the flashing C 12 years ago. The 2nd time it happened, I noticed the blurred vision preceded it. But there was no headache at all.
    At that time I’d been taking Aspirin, Prinivil and Zocor for 5 years.
    I had a Brain scan which was negative.
    Episodes would occur occasionally for the five years, then disappeared.

  8. Sounds like what I have that began when I was 14.
    I am 65 now. Now I get the aura and almost no headache.
    I am not a headache prone person and usually go several years between migraines. I think they might be called Ocular Migraine?
    They can mimic stroke. I only had that once ever and that was unpleasant.
    I take no meds and if this is all I have going on, that is ok. I am blessed. 🙂

    • There are interesting connections between stroke and migraine.
      -Shunting across a patent foramen ovale is associated with migraine and stroke and studies have examined (for the most part without success) closure of a PFO with a catheter-based device for treatment of both recurrent migraine and stroke.
      -Also, the incident of small vessel disease in the brain which may indicate minor strokes in higher in migraineurs. Of course, some of that association may be because “A growing body of evidence has also suggested that migraineurs are more likely to be obese, hypertensive, hyperlipidemic and have impaired insulin sensitivity, all features of the metabolic syndrome.” and these factors are also associated with small vessel disease.

  9. Bill has had these for several years. The doctor called them ocular headaches. He said you described his perfectly only his is on both sides.

    • Both sides meaning on the left and right visual fields? By definition the migraine aura occurs in both eyes equally.
      I prefer acephalgic migraine (meaning no headache) to ocular headache mostly because I like the word acephalgic because I can trace it back to the Latin roots a (not). ceph (head) algia (pain) because that makes those two years of Latin at Bartlesville College-High Highschool all worthwhile 🙂

  10. It’s not paranoia if it’s really after you!
    My high school years were marred with migraine.
    Ever come across a migraineur whose aura totally blinded him/her?
    It’s rather like putting your nose to a large lit cathode ray TV screen after broadcast hours.

  11. I get these, too, typically when I have been more stressed out than I realize. Very disconcerting when it first happened a few years ago while seeing patients! 🙂 I ended up not doing an MRI…

Dental Crowns. Why would I need a dental crown?

Caps are placed over damaged teeth to restore their appearance. A crown serves as a means of protecting, covering, and reshaping your teeth after fillings cannot satisfy your needs. Materials used in the manufacture of dental crowns include metals, porcelain, resin, and ceramics. Providing they are maintained regularly with good oral hygiene, they usually do not require any special care.

Crowns: What are they?

dental crown

The enamel on your teeth can deteriorate over time. A variety of factors can cause this, including tooth decay, accidents, or simply regular use. Consequently, your teeth might appear to be crooked or short. An oral crown involves attaching a tooth-shaped cap to your tooth. A physical analogy would be a snug-fitting hat for your tooth. Developing a crown will improve the appearance, strength, and function of the tooth.

You can see the visible portion of the tooth under the dental crown, which is cemented into place on your tooth.

What are the reasons for needing a crown?

The following reasons may lead to the need for a dental crown:

  • Keeping a tooth together if it is cracked or to protect it from breaking if it is weak (possibly due to decay).
  • Restorative dentistry involves repairing broken or badly worn teeth.
  • With a big filling and not much tooth remaining, this procedure covers and supports the tooth.
  • A dental bridge is held in position with a dental clasp.
  • Restoring or concealing the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth.
  • Dental implants are covered with dentures.
  • A root canal-treated tooth is covered with a dental crown.

How are onlays and 3/4 crowns different?

On your teeth, you can use various types of crowns. A dental crown with an onlay, or a 3/4 crown as it’s also known, does not cover as much tooth like a traditional dental crown. Your whole tooth will be covered by a traditional crown. When you have a strong tooth structure, an onlay or a 3/4 crown may be appropriate. In comparison to a full-coverage crown, it’s considered more conservative. This procedure involves removing the affected area of the tooth and reshaping it so that it can receive a crown.

What is the material used for dental crowns?

Many different materials can be used to make permanent crowns. Among them are:

  • Metal: Metals such as gold, palladium, nickel, and chrome can be used in dental crowns. With a metal crown, your tooth is less likely to chip or break, lasts much longer regarding wear, and only a small amount of tooth tissue needs to be removed. These crowns are also more resistant to biting forces. The main disadvantage of these crowns is the metallic color. An out-of-sight molar can be restored with a metal crown.
  • Composite material: Dental crowns made from composite material are often matched to the adjacent teeth’s color. Composite crowns will appear more natural in color. Under the porcelain cap, however, some of the metal is visible as a dark line. Besides chipping or breaking porcelain portions of the crown, the crown can also wear down the teeth opposite it. As your mouth closes, your crowns on top and bottom come into contact with other teeth which causes wear to those teeth. Front or back teeth can be fitted with porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns.
  • All-resin crowns: Resin crowns are usually more affordable than other types. In contrast, porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns wear down and are more prone to breakage over time.
  • Ceramic pressed crowns: They have an inner core made of ceramic. All-ceramic dental crowns are made using ceramic crowns that have been pressed instead of metal linings. The best matches for natural color are achieved with porcelain caps on pressed ceramic crowns. With porcelain caps on pressed ceramic crowns, it is possible to achieve the most natural color match. Additionally, they are more durable than an all-ceramic crown.

How can dental crowns cause problems?

Over time, your crown may develop a number of issues, including:

  • Feelings of discomfort: After the anesthesia wears off, it is possible that a new crown will be sensitive. You may experience some heat and cold sensitivity if the crowned tooth still contains a nerve. If you have sensitive teeth, your dentist may recommend brushing them with a toothpaste that is designed for sensitive teeth. An overly high crown is usually responsible for causing pain or sensitivity when you bite down. Speak to your dentist about this. It’s a simple fix.
  • Broken crowns: Some porcelain crowns are prone to chipping. If there is a small chip, the crown can be repaired and positioned in your mouth. A large chip or many chips may necessitate replacing the dental crown.
  • Crowns that are loosened: There are instances where the cement holding the crown in place can come undone. A loose crown not only allows bacteria to enter and cause decay on the remaining tooth but also has the effect of allowing the crown to become loose. Please contact your dentist right away if you notice your crown is loose.
  • Reaction to metal: Crowns made of a mixture of metals are often used to make dental crowns. Dental crowns may contain metals or porcelain that can cause an allergic reaction. Although rare, it can happen.
  • Gum line next to crowned tooth area: Next to your crowned tooth you may notice a dark line. There’s nothing to be alarmed about – particularly if your porcelain is fused to metal. All that you are seeing is the metal of the crown on top.

Does a dental crown last long?

Between five and fifteen years is the average lifespan of a dental crown. How long a crown lasts can be determined by the degree of wear and tear, oral hygiene practices, and the personal habits related to your mouth. For example, you may want to consider:

  • Your teeth are clenched or ground.
  • Ice is being chewed.
  • Fingernails being bitten.
  • When opening packages, use your teeth.

Is there any special care required for a crowned tooth?

No special care is required for crowned teeth. Even so, it is still important to protect the underlying tooth from decay or gum disease. As a result, good oral hygiene should never be ignored. Brushing and flossing your teeth twice a day – especially around the crown area at the point where the gum meets your tooth – are effective ways to ensure good oral health. Do not chew ice or popcorn hulls with porcelain crowns to avoid cracking the porcelain.

Come celebrate the publication of

The Kenning Anthology of Poets Theater
April 7, 2010
8:00 pm
The Poetry Project
The Poetry Project at St. Mark’s Church

131 E. 10th St. New York NY 10003
212-674-0910 |

This reading will celebrate the release of The Kenning Anthology of Poets Theater 1945-1985, a superb documentation of the emergence, growth, and varied fortunes of the form over decades of American literary history. The largest and most comprehensive anthology of its kind yet assembled, the volume collects classics of poets theater as well as rarities long out of print and texts from unpublished manuscripts and archives. Editors David Brazil and Kevin Killian will be joined by some of the contributors who will read or perform their work. With Bruce Andrews, Charles Bernstein, Nada Gordon, Ted Greenwald, Sonia Sanchez and Fiona Templeton.

I will be directing a scene from a play I wrote in my early twenties, which, believe me, was a long time ago. Stars will be Marianne Shaneen, Cori Copp, Sara Wintz, and Gary Sullivan. I will also play the role of coloratura soprano Jenny Lind in Charles Bernstein’s play, “Entitlement.”

The lights can animate different colors or even synchronize to music. Back when Windows 10 first debuted, Microsoft made a big deal about how users of its older operating systems—Windows 7 or Windows 8.

That should ensure that Windows 10 correctly gives you a free upgrade—a digital license you can then associate with your Microsoft account—when you move to the new version of the OS. When you purchase an operating system from Microsoft or any retailer, it comes with a product key to unlock it. A digital license connects your installed Windows platform to a key embedded in prebuilt systems from Acer, Dell, HP, and so on.

For a long time, these manufacturers printed product keys on labels stuck on PCs or printed and inserted them into product packaging. However, Microsoft also moved Windows 7 over to this method. This license becomes locked to your Microsoft account. Sites like Amazon also keep a record of purchased downloads, but these rarely include the product key itself, though it may help narrow down where it could be.

Finally, you can download Windows 10 and perform a clean install. Despite officially ending the free update promotion in mid, Microsoft quietly keeps this option available so all Windows PC owners can run the latest version. Again, unless you have a valid digital license or product key to get a free upgrade, you will be required to pay for a new Windows 10 Home product key.

Disconnect any unnecessary accessories to help reduce the chance of errors. As shown above, you have two options: Upgrade the current PC, or create installation media that will either upgrade another PC or perform a clean install on the current PC. However, in both cases, the tool will temporarily download a disk image of Windows 10, so be sure you have enough space for the file — around 4GB, at least.

Step 5: Select the Upgrade this PC now option and follow the prompts. Just in case, if the source becomes unavailable then FF Copy automatically re-generates the source and starts transferring the files after a while. It allocates the disk space and eliminates disk fragmentation. FF Copy is highly capable of boosting the speed of the entire process. Undoubtedly, if you are searching for the best way to copy files pretty instantly then you should rely on this amazing utility.

These are some of the best file copy utility software available for Windows in Most apps are quite efficient in handling the speed with which the files are transferred from one server to the other or from one network to the other. Bulk file transfers and copying is possible with some of these apps as well. Some can also help you transfer an entire folder from one server to another.

They dictate what you can do with the software, while OS versions are distinguished by the features available. Multiple Windows license types exist, but the two commonly available to a home user are the retail and OEM varieties. If you visit an online retailer like Amazon Remove non-product link or Newegg , you can find both retail and OEM licenses for sale. All the features of the operating system version are the same for both license types.

The difference is that with a retail license, you can transfer the license key to a different PC later on. The process for activating a Windows 10 OEM license is the same as for a retail license. In exchange for a lower price, you get to use the license key on only one PC, period. Microsoft has historically been kind about such situations, however; you can usually call to reactivate the license after replacing a fried mobo.

But it is an extra hassle. Not all student discounts are reserved for the under set. As mentioned above, license types determine what you can do with Windows—and who can use it, as well. Through the Academic Volume Licensing agreements, schools can purchase access to Windows 10 Education for their students, faculty, and staff.

Some make it available only on campus machines. Others will grant a license for use on a home machine. The catch: You have to sign up for at least one course to qualify for campus discounts. Typical options are usually of the physical education or dance variety swim, ballet, jazz, boot camp workouts, etc.

In those cases, your main options are the OEM license outlined above or buying through a reseller detailed below. Note: If you use this method, also keep an eye out for other software deals through your school. But this approach comes with a salt mine of caution. Platforms like eBay and Kinguin allow buyers to purchase product keys from third-party sellers. So they come with risk. And that has happened to some people.

Customer service is often poor for these kinds of sites too, leaving you high and dry. All your apps and data files will be available. The digital license is associated with that specific device, which means you can reformat the disk and perform a clean installation of the same edition of Windows 10 anytime.

If you’re thinking of upgrading your old system drive to an SSD, perform the upgrade to Windows 10 on the old hardware; after confirming that the new Windows 10 version is properly activated, install the SSD and then either restore from a backup image or boot from the USB flash drive to do a clean install. You won’t need a product key, and activation is automatic.

And now the big question: If you avail yourself of this upgrade to Windows 10, is the resulting license valid? The entire “free upgrade” offer was always accompanied by language that was, to put it politely, a bit squishy. And the language around the end of that offer was similarly vague. That’s very odd language. The free upgrade through the Get Windows 10 app ended on July 29, Likewise, the discussion of product keys says a key will be necessary “for this tool to work” not true but doesn’t say a word about licensing.

And unlike the weaselly “Genuine Windows” label on older upgrades, the activation screens for a Windows 10 upgrade specifically confirm the existence of a “digital license. Anyway, the free upgrade offer was extended briefly, at least for people who use assistive technologies.

The FAQ on a separate page even called it a “free upgrade offer extension” and pointedly noted that it was not limited to specific assistive technologies. I regularly use the Magnifier utility in Windows, which is indisputably an assistive technology. Of course, I’m not a lawyer, and this column isn’t legal advice. But I will say that I am personally confident in the activation status of any PC upgraded using the tool on that page during the eligibility period.

This extension was, I think, a very large nod and a wink, designed to make it easy for those who wanted a Windows 10 upgrade to still get it while placating the OEM partners who were none too happy about the year-long emphasis on upgrades rather than new PC sales.

Alas, I say “was,” because the extension which was itself extended officially ended on Jan. The page that formerly ran an Upgrade Assistant now returns an error message.

The big question now is whether Microsoft will ever turn off the code on its activation servers that dispenses digital licenses after an upgrade from an earlier Windows version. I’ve continued to test that scenario, and I can confirm, long after the end of support for Windows 7, that it still works. I continue to hear from readers sharing their experiences.

Why No Inquests into Logging Deaths?

Unions, whistleblowers urge coroner to analyze carnage.

Quentin Dodd 9 Dec
image atom

As loggers' deaths in the province mount at near double the rate of recent years, the BC Coroners Service is facing criticism over its refusal to conduct inquests into the lethal mishaps.

The pressure comes from two sources. The United Steelworkers, through its locals within the logging, sawmilling and pulp-and-paper industries, is demanding mandatory coroners' inquests into every logger-related fatality, more timely investigations of workplace facilities and serious accidents and the creation of committees with full authority to "order immediate workplace changes in response to fatality investigations and inquests."

Meanwhile, a group of anonymous current and former coroners have written to the BC government charging that the service is failing in its mission. The Committee for Competent Death Reviews wrote a scathing reminder that the Coroners Service is meant to help prevent repeat fatal accidents in the workplace through inquiries, inquests and reports containing recommendations for changes.

The Tyee has learned that a portion of that letter specifically criticizes the Coroners Service for holding far too few inquests and in-depth investigations into logging and other industrial accidents.

Already, the Coroners Service is taking heat for failing to conduct proper investigations into the deaths of 712 children. The carnage in the woods, say logging union officials, has reached scandalous proportions of its own. There have been 41 logging-related deaths this year compared to a usual annual rate of 20 to 25.

No inquests slated

But if BC citizens expect something like the inquests that television character Dominic Da Vinci regularly conducted to find the systemic problems breeding injury and death, don't expect the same in real life.

Coroners Service spokesperson Kelli Svendsen told The Tyee that while the rise in logger deaths is "an issue" for the service, there are no plans to reverse a 20 year decline in numbers of full, formal, under-oath inquests into industrial accidents in BC.

Svendsen said individual coroners still have the ability to look at trends to see if they should exercise their discretion and call a full, formal inquest, complete with a jury led by a local person knowledgeable in the activity under scrutiny, on an individual fatal incident.

Svendsen also said that most of this year's loggers' deaths are still under investigation by the service.

But she said that the only time a coroner is now required by law to call an inquest is if the death has occurred in police custody - not even if it occurs in the hands of the corrections system, because so many of those deaths in jails are from natural causes. That change, back in 1999, dropped the number of inquests from about 30 a year to about 15.

Svendsen was quick to state that when a coroner looks into a fatality, it's not an informal inquiry but a formal investigation, and it's still up to the individual coroner to decide whether a full inquest should be held.

"There may be recommendations (in the coroner's report to try to prevent further deaths from occurring from similar causes) in an investigation," she added.

Summit of frustration

On Monday, loggers held a special one-day Summit on B.C. Forest Industry Fatalities at the Fairmont Hotel in Vancouver. In attendance were government cabinet ministers and top representatives of BC's major forest companies, who heard frustrated loggers charge that neither the government, the Workers' Compensation Board nor major companies are dealing with the fatalities spike.

A few days before, a safety officer in one of Vancouver Island's International Steelworkers union locals told The Tyee that, from the frontline workers' perspective, one of the worst "offenders" in the lack of action has been the BC Coroners Service.

Rick Whiteford, sawmill safety officer for Local 1-80 in the area from Victoria north to between Parksville and Qualicum, said he's been on the union staff for about five years and he can't remember a single inquest into a forest-industry death in that area in that time, despite a number of fatalities.

Whiteford said that no one seems to be holding the companies responsible and the union doesn't have the authority to do much about it, either.

"It's outrageous," said Whiteford, noting that in addition to this year's 41 deaths in the woods, there have been 98 serious, disabling injuries according to the B.C. Forest Safety Council.

Whiteford saw irony in the fact that the latest logging-industry collective agreement says anybody with a "physically-demanding or dangerous" jobs isn't allowed to work longer than 10 hours a day, five days a week.

But various companies have implemented new schedules for woods personnel, including truck-loggers, calling for personnel to work anywhere between 12 and 16 hours and work 11 days or more in a row. One company currently wants woods personnel to work 14 days straight for 11.5 hours a day before getting seven days off, Whiteford said.

Revved schedules, stress

The definition of what is "physically demanding or dangerous work" remains in dispute with Weyerhaeuser, now owned by Brascan as Cascadia on Crown lands and Island Timberlands on the company's private lands.

Cascadia/IT is now in a full, formal grievance standoff with the union before the Labour Relations Board over what jobs, if any, should have that classification.

Whiteford said he thinks the suddenly burgeoning number of fatalities and serious accidents in the woods and on the roads to and from work is linked to revved up work schedules, fatigue and stress.

Such factors might have emerged as a safety concern, Whiteford suggested, if the BC Coroners' Service were to hold inquests into industrial deaths where it was felt some recommendations from a jury could aid in identifying and mending gaps in company safety programs and practices.

Instead, said Whiteford, under the current system, the individual is far more likely to be blamed for making a mistake. That is a bit like attributing almost all fatal airline crashes to "pilot error" rather than in looking for ways to improve their safety training to try to prevent accidents in the first place, said Whiteford.

Whistleblowers' letter

The Tyee also has learned that a dearth of inquests into industrial accidents is one of the main concerns in a five-page letter recently sent to Solicitor General John Les by the self-styled Committee for Competent Death Reviews. The group of about 10 present and former coroners wrote that the whole coroner-service system, for which Les is responsible, is broken and needs urgent fixing, according to passages of the letter published in the press.

The leaked letter's contents fanned outrage over the 712 children's deaths that were never reviewed by the service under B.C. Chief Coroner Terry Smith, even after the agency was specifically given that task when the B.C. Liberal government shut down the B.C. Children's Commission in 2002.

Through various press reports, a picture has emerged of a Coroners Service overwhelmed after budget cuts.

Tally of mayhem

Statistics from the B.C. Forest Safety Council show that for years, programs within the logging industry reduced the numbers of deaths and held them to an average of about 20 to 25 a year. This year, the numbers climbed dramatically, reaching 41 in early December. Of those deaths, eight each were in log hauling and travelling to or from work. Ten happened while yarding and mechanical harvesting. Six occurred in falling.

Combined with high injury rates, the fatalities make the industry one of the most dangerous in BC.

The Phil Scott Twitter Account is gettin’ stupid

A small part of the yesterday’s Tweetfest between Yours Truly and some of Phil Scott’s hardcore fans was about my persistent bird-dogging of Scott’s official Twitter account. Which I suspect is written by others, considering that it often refers to “Phil” in the third person.

And yeah, I frequently Retweet @PhilScott4VT with my commentary attached.

Don’t like it? Stop sending out mass quantities of Tweets that are inaccurate, insipid, or both.

And boy, this afternoon brought a prime example from the “both” category.

(Phil’s ghost-Tweeter has but a distant acquaintance with the proper deployment of the apostrophe.)

Ooh! Rough, tough manly man, tossin’ trash in the pickup. Hands callused and creased, fingernails packed with the crud of honest labor. Bet he uses Lava Soap with “millions of particles of volcanic pumice.” A true Man of the People.

And the only candidate in the race “who knows what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck.”

What bullshit.

What complete, utter, USDA Prime, phoney-baloney, ROFLMAO bullpuckey.

And how insulting to Sue Minter, who (1) has a lower household income than Scott, (2) has a substantially lower net worth, and (3) actually had to forego her paycheck to run for governor, while Phil continues to draw his Lite-Guv salary.

It’s also insulting to the thousands of Vermont families that actually do live paycheck to paycheck, and can be thrown into ruin by an unplanned expense or disability or layoff. (The Atlantic Monthly: “Nearly half of  Americans would have trouble finding $400 to pay for an emergency.” Phil Scott is not in that category or anywhere close.)

I really, sincerely hope that Tweet was ghostwritten and not approved by the candidate himself, because I honestly believe Phil Scott is a better man than that.

And now let’s look at the numbers, in case you need any proof of my three assertions above.

When Minter released her 2015 taxes in April, she and her husband David Goodman reported total income of $152,068. Not bad.

Phil Scott’s household income for the same year? $221,746.

How about net worth? The Minter/Goodman family has combined assets totaling $1.37 million. Which may seem like a lot, but a couple that enjoys a normal lifespan can easily spend seven figures maintaining their lifestyle after retirement. Also, you can subtract from that the balance on their mortgage, somewhere between $100,000 and $250,000. (She reported that figure under federal disclosure standards, which only require approximate ranges for each asset or debt.)

Phil Scott’s net worth: $3.1 million. More than twice as much as Minter’s.

Scott partisans might argue that most of his wealth is tied up in the family construction business, and thus he has relatively little reserve to draw upon. That’s true, but there’s a flip side. If he really needed to, he could sell the business and its assets and be comfortably set for life.

Let me be clear. Phil Scott is a hardworking man. He has built a business through his own blood, sweat, toil, and smarts. He deserves full credit for that.

But to assert that he’s the only candidate who “knows what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck”? Ridiculous. And unworthy of the man.

You may think I’m making a big deal out of a single Tweet, but it’s emblematic of some troubling trends in the Scott campaign: casual, careless, or deliberately misleading use of facts and figures; unsupported assertions; and a tendency toward hagiography. This Tweet featured all three.

And now you know why I keep bird-dogging @PhilScott4VT.

    “troubling trends in the Scott campaign: casual, careless, or deliberately misleading use of facts and figures; ”

    Yeah, I know, and I wonder just how many of these are written in Vermont and not some GOP firm in DC or somewhere.

  2. nortryder

    Let’s ask this. As a knowledgable, cutting-edge, gonna-make-everything-better-than-Shummy, kind of candidate, does he know why his trash is going to end up after he throws it in to one Casella/Meyers trash receptacles? Does he even care? It’ll will end up on the sunny shores of Lake Memphremagog’s South Bay in the poorly sited Coventry landfill. Maybe he should look for a different sort of pastime. Maybe we all should. He could lead us in a better, more sustainable direction. Yeah, right.

  3. chuck gregory

    I’m sure we will run into much more lingo developed from the national GOP template. Having given up on winning the Presidency with Trump (although he might pull it off anyway), the Kochs and their billionaire allies are back the national party’s efforts to provide ad copy to the downticket candidates.

  4. Job Tate

    “Once, I remember, we came upon a man-of-war anchored off the coast. There wasn’t even a shed there, and she was shelling the bush. It appears the French had one of their wars going on thereabouts. Her ensign dropped limp like a rag; the muzzles of the long six-inch guns stuck out all over the low hull; the greasy, slimy swell swung her up lazily and let her down, swaying her thin masts. In the empty immensity of earth, sky, and water, there she was, incomprehensible, firing into a continent” – Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness.

  5. Macy Franklin

    Phil Scott will be our next governor and his net worth will have nothing to do with the outcome. Despite Scott’s obvious short comings, Minter is at best a lukewarm candidate and has staked out gun control as her number one priority. This is not a particularly popular stance with Vermont voters. Just ask Perter Smith and Bernie Sanders.

    1. Walter Carpenter

      “Minter is at best a lukewarm candidate and has staked out gun control as her number one priority.”

      Having been shot at before and lost friends to gunfire, including the social worker last year who I knew, I am excessively thankful that Minter has the courage to do this and angry at Scott for not having the courage to do it.
