Hospital Strangeness

While walking around New Hanover Regional Medical Center I witnessed a few odd things. Let's start with a simple computer security vulnerability.

The above is a computer in a waiting area for volunteers and vendors to use. Sure, you first need a PIN. However, the password is written on a sticky note on the monitor. The password is just two capital letters, NH. Don't get me started on their use of "PIN number."

Next we get a visit from captain obvious.

A rolling PVC linen cart that has each of the three shelves labeled. Really, the bottom shelf is labeled "BOTTOM SHELF" with an arrow pointing at the shelf that is, well, the bottom shelf. Same for "TOP SHELF" and "SECOND SHELF." Not shown in this picture is a handle used for pushing/pulling the cart. I watched a worker grab the cart, not from the handle, and pull the cart to another room. In the worker's defense, the handle was NOT labeled.

Then I saw this.

I have a feeling there are a lot of reports being done in that area.

I have been riding consistently again for nearly a year after I bought a new to me cyclocross bike. You can read more about that here . After more than 2,800 miles on that bike since last June, it needed some more work. The headset was pretty much shot and would not be repaired in time for our planned trip to Virginia. So Gina suggested that I get a new bike. I ended up getting a Giant Revolt Advanced 2 from Giant Wake Forest . We arrived at our rental house very early Saturday morning. 1:30am in fact. We found a place to stay that was literally steps away from The Virginia Creeper Trail . Saturday was to be a day we went hiking at Grayson Highlands State Park . We met Gina's co-workers at the park just after 10:00 am and started our hike. We have camped at this park before with the Boy Scouts but have never ...

Well, it's been nearly a year since my last blog post . Fittingly that was about my then new turntable.
