Default Finally Some Good News on Good Friday/Passover

First of all Happy Holidays to you all and your families!

Lots has happened in last 4 weeks. I survived stage 2 skin melanoma surgery on April 1, I may look like a fileted flounder, but apparently there was no spread to my lymph nodes or glands, according to pathology that came back yesterday. I recommend all of you to see your dermatologists, urologists and internists regularly to catch things at an early stage. As an only child of parents who died at 53 and 63 from various virulent cancers, I get checked pretty often, especially from my dermatologist.

Just before the operation, I got slammed again in my rear for the second time in six months - again on a sunny, mild clear day. I need to replace my Hella driver side smoke tail light, any idea where the best place to do it at lowest cost?

Congrats on the good news. As for the tail light, one decent source has been Force 5 Auto in Concord NH.
