    You might be surprised. Text/reminder call systems significantly reduce cancel/no show rates. There will always be same day cancels, no way to eliminate that IMO. We had a surprise 8” snow storm on 2/14 which caused a 40% cancellation rate that day clinic wide...but those events are really unavoidable.

    You're asking the wrong person. I can give you a very accurate rundown of the taco trucks in this town, but churches, not so much.

    Although, I think it's safe to say they both fall into the mega category.

    I have spent quite a few Sundays driving people to church. Most of the local disabled people go to Christ the King. The Northwest Baptist Church gives me cookies, tho.

    The taco truck with the best tamales is on bakerview, just north of wta. The "Tapatio burrito" is good too, but you have to eat it with a knife and fork.

    speaking of tail.... I hear you're having a problem down there (down there):

    Health officials concerned about STDs in central Oregon

    BEND — A big jump in cases of sexually transmitted diseases in central Oregon is causing concern and testing health agencies with fewer resources, according to health officials across multiple counties.

    Chlamydia cases have been rising since 2010, increasing from 432 cases in Deschutes County a decade ago to 675 last year, The Bulletin newspaper in Bend reported . The number of cases in Crook County has nearly doubled and the number in Jefferson is up 52 percent.

    Syphilis cases are also on the rise, and gonorrhea diagnoses rose from single digits in the early part of this decade to 65 cases in Deschutes County, 49 in Jefferson and 14 in Crook County last year.

    "It's been an increase that I haven't seen before in all my years of public health in Central Oregon, said Karen Yeargain, communicable disease coordinator for Crook County Health Department. "And it's been sustained. It hasn't gone away."

    The trends match patterns across the state and country, but for reasons that remain unclear, both Deschutes County and Jefferson County have been well above the national average for STD transmission rates.

    That's Tacos El Tule. They're at gruff brewing some nights as well. They make the best tacos in town hands down. The chicken soup is really good too. Burritos are good, but IMO Guelaguetza's burritos are better.

    Where is Guelaguetzas? The one on the guide at Smith is pretty good. I'm not good at knowing their names.

    Being married has its advantages...

    But I have some single buddies who are considering a move here... They might want to reconsider.

    It does suggest a certain proclivity among the resident singles, so......

    Gas station parking lot at the corner of Meridian and Maryland. Next door to "Dark" Haggen.

    They have good horchata as well.

    Smith Rd is Tecalitlan. They have a small brick and mortar location in that mini mall on Barkley across from Lowes, and another truck in Burlington. I've had good tortas from that one.
