Climate Change is here

I think "Global Warming" is a misnomer. Climate Change
is more apt, at least this year. We are cold and wet.
I doubt if my tomatoes ever ripen. Today the high so far
has been 65 F. and tonight it is going to be in the 40s.

I have finished cleaning the pantry. I plan to put
down new floor covering and then it'll look really nice.
I'm always happy when I have it organized. I wish it
would stay that way.

The Health Care Reform is not going well. The Blue
Dog Dems have joined with the Republicans and the
Insurance Companies and Pharmaceutical companies to
kill any hope of getting away from Fee for Service
nor is there any hope of having a government-run
plan to compete with the Insurance Plans. The
Single Payer Option sounds very good to me. Getting
the Insurance Industry out of the Health Care business
also sounds good to me.

Robert has a new hobby. Mr. Tebo has a huge collection
of antique cars, most in running condition. He needs
volunteers to "exercise" the cars and Robert has added
his name to the roster of volunteers. He'll be going
on Thursdays to exercise, hopefully, 10 cars. They
have to check them over, gas them up, drive them 10
miles and bring them back and park them. Also
required is a check-list of things done to the cars
and/or things needing attention. It sounds like a
very full day. Some of the cars are extraordinary.
One is valued at one million dollars. It is a
vintage Dussenberg. Robert doesn't plan on driving
that one.
