Washington mules and unleaded gas shake up policy
In a lighthearted Washington misfit between regulation and American ingenuity, the column notes the EPA railing at lead free gas use yet drivers cling to cheaper unleaded fuel. It also mocks a canceled mid January Energy Symposium and recalls a 60 year old tax filing reminder in Atchison. It closes with a quip about detergent boxes growing in size and a farmer joke about cross state truck trips.

Two Infections At Once Dear Dr Thosteson
A reader asks if vaginal and urinary tract infections can occur simultaneously and if hysterectomy or age affects vaginitis. The doctor explains coexisting infections are possible, cites common causes like Trichomonas or yeast, notes E coli in UTIs, and mentions hormone balance if ovaries were removed. Hygiene and proper antibiotics are discussed along with a brief digression on stomach digestion and unrelated queries.
