Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Flexibility

 So, I had my first doctors appointment yesterday at the VA down in Lebanon.  It went quite well.  I'm healthy.  I brought up aging, achy knee and my new MD gave it a twist - of course there was no pain, though he was impressed with my flexibility.  I think I'm stiff, but evidently I'm wrong.  I suppose that means other people around my age don't have as much 'give and take' as I do.  My new nurse, Joan, had an interesting reaction when she looked at my current prescriptions.  She did a bit of a double-take and said, "that's it?"  I don't take a lot of meds.

I'm hoping that my 3rd reader returns The Body in the Loch with his notes today.  I was expecting it at the beginning of the week, but he was still going through it.  My readers provide me with comments, notes, and advice, as well as proofread.  Sometimes I follow their recommendations, sometimes I invoke 'artistic license.'  I don't always write by the rules.  This doesn't mean I lack flexibility in the words I put to paper, I simply flex them the way I want them to bend.

My 'mail-in' ballot was delivered yesterday and the sucker is already filled out and ready to go.  I was surprised by the lack of Democratic nominees for certain positions, like prothonotary.   Democrats need to get more involved so our elected officials represent the majority, not the Cracker Jack Crazy minority.  Oh, and those same Crazies are trying to change the state Constitution.  They want to give the General Assembly the ability to be able to override and limit the Governor in regard to declaring disasters.  These amendments are all Covid related.  If they get passed, these worshippers of Loser #45 will put life itself in jeopardy.  This is how they hope to destroy Democracy.  They blindly push ahead even though their inability to be flexible is destroying their party.  Good.  I suspect more of them will begin dying off once the Indian Variant of Covid beings spreading through the population.

And, finally, Marc, from Voenix Rising, posted some interesting videos yesterday.  One was from a group called Faun that I found rather nifty.  Here's another of their videos.

  3. I guess all that riding has kept you in good shape then. Good for you. "Use it or lose it" rings very true as you get older doesn't it!
