No matter how old you get. No matter how tired you are. No matter how bad you might feel. Keep those wheels turning. It will keep you young and if there is something ailing you along the way at least it will make the time go by better.

I thought I was on my way towards health again. Last night took a different direction. Such is life. Nothing I can’t overcome. But I’m going to have to admit my better half is right again and I’m heading to the doctors on Monday.

I would like to sit here and crank out several hundred words of concern, encouragement and share my warped and twisted observations on life. But I just don’t have the energy and I can’t stop coughing long enough to do more than a few dozen words at a time. Let alone look through my library to find a good photos to use.

So I’ll just leave the day with one pressing thought. I’m becoming very concerned about our democracy in the United States. I wonder is this is akin to the path Europe started down many decades ago. I hope not, for all of our sakes.

Oh, and a note to the 50% of the population making a fortune in the stock market. Don’t be surprised when it changes and don’t be surprised when our balance gets so out of line that you will be face to face with those you have kept down for decades. You may find out how strong that backbone of the country is then and you might not like it. Sorry, I get a bit cranky when I’m not feeling my best.
