And a very warm August 22 to you Bonnie. We were just in Port
Angeles, enjoying a bit of a breeze and around 83 degrees. We worked
with a delightful woman whose vision is not holding up too well, and
whose husband has Parkinson, as does our son-in-law Don. So when I
read Abby's remarks I went to where my emotions churn. I do
understand that so many health conditions are very complex, and we are
just scratching at the edges. But the money that is raised is not
always wisely spent. Our state organization, WCB, raised large
amounts of dollars through a group that solicited old automobiles and
gave WCB about 10% of the gross profits for the use of our name. Even
once the 10% was in our account, we did not always use it wisely.
Charities waste great gooey gobs of dollars. Even so, the Pentagon
wastes more...lots, lots more. So I heard the frustration in Abby's
remarks. Frustration that translates in my own mind as one of anger
over the lies that are often lain upon us by promoters of charities,
and of Presidents who lie that their wars will make us safer and keep
us free. But in the understaffed clinics and medical centers there
are men, women and children dying for lack of care. Even as those in
your profession and in ours. Currently we are so over invested in
military bases and weapons of murder that the Emperor Trump could not
back out without causing a major crash, even if he wanted to...which
he does not. So yes, I watch my son-in-law slowly dying, and my sweet
daughter battling Rheumatoid Arthritis, and I must tell you, I have no
faith in this boastful, vain, self admiring Emperor. And I thought
that George Bush II was embarrassing!
We should all be frothing mad at how uncaring the government is toward
the working men and women...and even madder at the transparent lies
they shower upon us, believing that we are so easily schmoozed.

MD
is a hereditary condition. It's main victims are boys, and they rarely
live
past seventeen. There are a few variants that attack females, and the
girls
will often live longer than their male counterparts. But look at how long
it
has taken to begin to find counters to many cancers, which are far more
common
and are not as inevitable as MD is, Abby. Perhaps that we are beginning to
conquer at least some cancers we will be able to stop the muscular
degeneration
of MD as well.
