That is an important distinction, though from what I read on Facebook recently there is more "all" than there was a year ago, so it may average out.

Behind the kitchens of Trump hotel restaurants
the dumpsters are fermenting and distilling
a dumpster juice that is rotten but addictive.
Sure it is toxic but artificially sweetened
so the rotten after taste makes people drink more
sweetened dumpster juice to hide the rotten flavor.
Compared to salty Liberal tears dumpster juice
has more appeal among people who don't drink wine.

It might
Be a fight
Like you see on the screen
A gang
Getting banged
For the love of some cash
For a huge party bash
At a spot that is sweet

And everyone ends in mincemeat.

The gag
Where he's waving the flag
That began
With a crooked con man
Hip hip hooray
The American way!
The world is a stage

Around the World in Covid days
Its a little cough and then a sneeze
and then you're on your knees
About the time your fever swells
Its hard to breathe, into your sleeve
and you feel unwell.
Of all the things you've had before
its hard to say if you'll stay or go.
In the last two days you start to fade
with no O2 its got U too
and its time, to say, goodbye.

This surgery started, according to the surgical notes, with a "time-out" until everyone agreed. I'm glad I was well under anesthesia as I probably couldn't have taken all the arguing a yelling -- I had enough of that as a kid.

A happy routine outcome with no need for bypass or gross transfusion is what you want. Every procedure has a whoops or two. When they don't matter, YOU WIN.

Other than expense, the reason there should not be routine MRI's is because they invariably show small abnormalities. In Boston I met a woman who was on the team that developed real time MRI's. Back then there was propriatary caution involved in discussions.

I've had surgery before, soft-tissue stuff, and a bunionectomy. The knee tops all of that for the "Major" part of major surgery. It is sometimes better that we don't realize how big these things are until after the fact.

Saw my doctor yesterday and the surgeon today. Apparently a carotid endarterectomy is a major surgical procedure. I've been told that for the last couple of weeks, but I now have a copy of the operative notes and am forced to agree that having your throat cut is major surgery. However, the surgeon estimated that only 20 cc's of blood were lost. And from what they said I'm doing pretty well for someone who had major surgery.

The CAT scan and MRI notes say that my skull is intact and that no gross abnormalities were found...just little ones, apparently.

Except for the fact that his BS is toxic, Trump has been creating so much BS lately that he is *almost* an honorary member of the group. But he would be wise to subscribe to the adage that he doesn't want to join any club that would have him.

If you are offering me a blunderbuss this is a nice one in 10 gauge; they also have one in 4 gauge. This kit is on USD 999.99, too, and I get to put it together. I have found that a blunderbuss is quite a good argument not to "stand and deliver" a coach!

No, I haven't been doing either in the past few months. First the SARS-Covid-19 and now surgery recovery. I probably won't make the Christmas party either. Now, as the song says, the ground is white...and going to the range in winter can be iffy. Sliding off an icy road that clings to the side of hill can test your seat belts! It's also cold and windy up there. But a set of longjohns and a good coat and hat and gloves...well, maybe.

On February 10 I present a program called something like "The Recent Crime Spree in Idaho: 1840-1910 or so" for the local continuing education group (New Knowledge Adventures, or NKA). I've done these before; this one will concentrate on names like David Updycke, Boon Helm, Henry Amos Plummer, Marion More, Jack Slade, and a few others. Bear in mind that the towns of Bannack and Virginia City, Montana were in the Idaho Territory in 1864.

In the meantime, I recuperate and play my horn. Speech therapist, a wonderful person and fellow trumpeter, said it would be excellent exercise for tongue and cheek muscles -- much better than the tongue push-ups I thought he'd order.

Swallowing is still a problem and will be for a while.

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without nazis on my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how Dems did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so they're back
From outer space
I walked in on crazy Dems with that smile upon their face
I should have changed the secret service, I should have hidden white house keys

If I'd known for just one second they'd be back to bother me
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anywhere
Weren't you the one who tried to impeach me with your ugly lies?
You think I'd crumble?
You think I'd runaway and hide?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to fire, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all the basest base and know that Fox news will survive
I will survive, hey, hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to sue in court to mend my broken heart
And I spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to tweet
But now I tweet in complete sentences and golf some place new
I'm not that chained-up giant person born just to hate you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
Well, now I'm planning a long term coup for 2024
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome at my door
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with your lies?
You think I'd crumble?
You think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to golf, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got Putin on my side so I know I will survive
I will survive
Oh
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not for tyrants anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hoax the news
and tell all those ugly lies?
You think I'd grow stale?
You think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will prevail
Oh, as long as I know how to fix elections, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my hate to give and I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive

Dear Mr. Trump your biggest lie is that you will survive
No one leaves this planet alive

Toys are also influenced by current events like "Don't breathe on me" Elmo, "i'm so worried" Telly and "EV'RYTHING IS GREAT" Trumpybear.
