Watery Wednesday

Summer in the Park
We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts.

A New Look at Senior Health Care!!

 
So you're a sick senior citizen and the government says there is  no nursing home available for you, what do you do?
Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You  are allowed to shoot four Congressmen.

Of course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get three meals
 
day, a roof over your head, central heating, air conditioning and all the health
care you need! Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That's great. Need a new hip, knees, kidney, lungs or heart? They're all covered. 

And, as an added
 
bonus, your kids can come and visit you as often as they do now.

And who will be paying for all of this? It's the same government that just told 
you that they cannot afford for you to go into a home.

Plus, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income taxes anymore. 
Is this a great country or what?

Oh, yes! And one more thing!

BREAKING NEWS:

The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene in the United States' Capital this Christmas season. This isn't for any religious reason. They simply have not been able to find Three Wise Men in the Nation's Capitol. The search for a Virgin continues. There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable.

We had a gorgeous day yesterday, chilly, but gorgeous! Lots of sun and blue skies and fluffy clouds.  To start out with a quick look at the harbor, on to my favorite market for some beautiful flowers, a stroll on the beach and a glorious sunset over the water!! Doesn't get any better!!
There are always flowers for those who want to see them.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

I have a new philosophy. I'm only going to dread one day at a time.

keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind
young.

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
