Just another day in paradise

It's hard to believe today could be worse than yesterday, but it is.

The high today is only supposed to get to 60°F, and it's mostly overcast, although the sun has been trying show itself on occasion.  Plus there's a 30% chance of rain all day.

Even worse, my lower back is still hurting, and it doesn't seem to be getting much better. It may even be worse than yesterday.

I can't sit down for more than a few minutes at a time, so I can't even watch TV, to pass the time away, on this miserable day.  And laying down on the bed doesn't help much either.

The only consolation is, I picked a good week to hurt my back, as the weather really isn't good bike riding weather.  Still I would rather be out on the bike regardless.

Oh well, sorry for boring you all with my petty complaints, but I just had to vent and get that off my chest.

Maybe going to a wine tasting later this afternoon will cheer me up some.

I hope your back gets better. I know what a drag that can be. I have to have another consultation for an epidural and the can see me the end of JUNE. Geez, now you got me started.

Well, you must have been excited, your sentence doesn't make a lot of sense.

Do you mean "the doctor can't see you until the end of June?"

You might check another Kaiser facility to see if you can get to see a doctor earlier. Besides a second opinion wouldn't be such a bad idea regardless.

As for me, I just got up, and I'm guardedly optimistic my back is getting better. I actually got a good nights sleep.

But only time will tell for sure.

I think I'll go put some ice on it now.

History IS repeating itself

I didn't grow up during the rise and fall of Hitler and Nazi Germany, so for me to claim it feels like those are the times we are living in now, must be taken with a grain of salt. But I have seen enough movies, and read enough history to know, if the times we're living in now are not akin to the rise of a Nazism and Facism in Europe in the 1930's and 1940's, then we're not far off. If you can't see the parallels with Nazi Germany, then you must be living in a different country than me. Republicans and other right wing extremists will stop at nothing to subvert the will of the majority, forcing their beliefs, that they are the superior race and have been appointed by God, to impose their will on America, while they blame all our problems on immigrants, blacks and Jews. As I speak, Mitch McConnell, and his minions are raising roadblocks to all legislation designed to help average Americans under the guise of fiscal responsibility. They condone violent and verba...

Open letter to all Democrats

Stop the nonsense! Continuing to go after Trump, without any hope of getting a conviction, does nothing more than provide Republicans with an obstructionist dialogue (now that they have come up with the unconstitutional talking point) in addition to giving Trump much needed publicity, when we should be ignoring him. It's the pure definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result! Instead Democrats need to be laser focused on what is important to all Americans, i.e. healthcare, Social Security and Medicare, infrastructure reform, the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, to name just a few. And when you do talk about Trump, simply steer the conversation as to how the Trump administration botched everything, how Trump is responsible for the deaths of 400,000+ Americans, due to his inaction and the down playing of the pandemic, plus the deaths of 2 Capitol policeman during the insurrection Trump provoked and incited on January 6, 2021. ...

Stop the stupidity!

Rural medical center (in Georgia) suspended from vaccination program after inoculating school district staff. Give me a break! Trying to get kids back to school, while protecting teachers, bus drivers and other staff, is exactly what school districts should be doing. If they have vaccines, give them out. We should be giving out vaccines to all who want them, whenever available. Trying to adhere to rigid guidelines will only result in fewer people getting vaccines, resulting in the discarding of precious vaccines, and less protection for everyone. Of course we should be giving first priority to healthcare workers, and any other essential public service employees, such as policeman, fireman, etc. first, but when they're not around to receive shots, or refuse shots, then give them to anyone willing to take them. What I would have objected to is the medical center trying to capitalize on the pandemic to make a profit, from giving vaccines to people far down the list of recipients, but ...
