Labor day

Today was a good day for golf and lunch with VJ. She continue to fight the good fight , Dr Scott increased her Meds during the last clinic visit and we hope it will result in a little more stability and balance for her . She falls several time each month on average , so far no real harm ,so far. 
We are still trying to sell our house , but things are slow in the real estate market and I am not sure we can expect any real improvement the rest of this year and not sure about 12. The government and that term is all inclusive (federal, state & local) continue to add regulations , some in conflict with others and don't understand why business is not hiring . I think we must make a decision in this country are we going to grow government or are we going to grow the private sector and we all know which one of the two pays the freight. The folks in office care about one job, their and their only, never forget that one thing drives all the decision they make.
We made the decision to become a one car family and over the last few weeks we made that happen and Vj was a part of that decision. She didn't want to part with her car , but knew she would never drive again she pick out the car she wanted and we sold the old cars and bought the new one  what a pain in the ass I have been around the car business for 50 years and the process of buying a car from a dealer has got harder if anything .

 I have one more board meeting at the hospital and will  be glad to have that behind me . The national health care bill will close a lot of community hospital in the next ten years by forcing consolidation into large health care system, the community hospital if  any survive will be  band aid stations with few doctors left in small town  america.The people making these decision may be smart people , but I think we will find they are dumb as a rock on this issue.


I am looking out my window at a great egret fishing in the pond behind the house , such patient and stealth quite a sight. Last week late in the after noon there were at least 75 of them feeding in the Lilly  pads in the lake just before dark. I got some pictures .  I do enjoy watching the bird. 


We survived Irean OK , no power for a couple of day and lost all the food in the freezer , because there is just the two of us it was not so much , but I was surprised what I found once I started throwing away.


Time to start supper


Life is good!!
