Settling
in to any new location takes time and patience when determining the
priorities. Do you unpack the dishes first or the bedding? Does one

Ask
the Doc by Robert Swain
I
always ask my patients if they have headaches. Most of the time they

something is just not right. Headaches can be caused by many different
factors. The most common headache is the "stress / tension"
headache. Read

Beyond
the Badge by Richard Hannibal
n
recent weeks, the media has reported several mountain lion (cougar)
sightings on our Central Coast. There are dozens of sightings each
year, especially in the summer months. The abundance of water and deer
is what draws mountain lions to our urbanized areas. The latest
sightings were in the hills above north Morro Bay, around the 2300

imagined him very tall and very wide, but just lacking any break in his
structure. I believe I imagined his legs stuck together also. I have
never forgotten his story, yet I have never met him. Read More

There is no magic pill or procedure that will remedy these
issues. No doctor can do it for you. Your active
participation is required for a true and lasting resolution. Read More
Whooo
Knew? by Peg Pinard
Most
Americans believe that their government should be primarily based on
the will of its citizenry. But something very interesting has gradually
happened. In many American cities, and counties, there has been a very
quiet shift away from "citizen based government" towards a concept of
"stakeholder based government." As one expert explained it, the
"stakeholder groups" in any particular city may include the
following: Read More
