Shortly before my previous entry, I returned to Terre Haute. My job: web programming and other computer tasks for the Midwest Center for Rural Health; specifically, revamping and maintaining RuralConsult.com. RuralConsult allows rural doctors to post queries to get the aid of a specialist. By consulting with a specialist via the web, the rural doctor can help the patient without the patient travelling long distances to a major city. The web consultation can generally occur many weeks before the specialist would be available for an appointment, allowing the rural doctor to start treatment earlier. I’m quite happy working at the Midwest center: my job is fun, the office is nice, and my colleagues are great.

Last weekend an air show visited Terre Haute. Planes of all types were doing tricks and fly-bys. My favorite plane was the F-117A Stealth, which flew about 500ft above the Pike House. Seeing and hearing the USAF Thunderbirds was an experience that defies description. Perhaps it is best to just say: wow!

Other musings:

I took some new photos of my Bonneville. In the last week we’ve grilled twice at the House, one time brats and the other chicken. I’m still looking for a bike, though due to financial constraints my search will not come to fruition until spring. We took the pumper truck out on the road for a bit – what a blast!
