I Just Watched the 1950s Version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers

I keep hoping it is not prescient.   What happens if Harris "wins" the election by tens of millions of votes?

If Americans Will Do this, Why Won't Haitian Refugees?

 9/13/24 [U.K.] Telegraph:

Police have released video footage of an American woman being arrested for eating a cat – 170 miles away from Springfield, Ohio where Donald Trump claimed Haitian immigrants were devouring pets.

The arrest took place in Canton on August 16 after police received several calls from the public.

According to a police report Allexis Ferrell, 27, smashed the cat’s head with her foot and then started eating it.

Police said they saw fur on the woman’s lips and blood on her feet.

When Clintonistas Say There Was Something Suspicious

9/13/24 JustTheNews.com:

" Penn, a former advisor to Bill and Hilary Clinton, called Thursdsy for ABC to launch a formal internal investigation into its news division's planning and execution of this week's presidential debate to determine if there was some effort at "rigging the outcome of this debate."

"ABC News came under significant bipartisan criticism because its moderators fact-checked some of Donald Trump's statements but not a single pushback at any made by Kamala Harris."

Of course if you believe in your deepest heart that Trump is a liar and Harris is not, why would you bother checking her claims?

Rough Way to Do It But Still Good News

This Morning I Woke Up Early with a Question Thst I Was Happy to Decide

Is there enough pain to take 1000mg of Tylenol?  I had to think about the correct answer.  Barely YES 

My sleep requirement is declining as well 

Not Really in Much Pain

But I am profoundly fatigued.  Every calorie my body has is reknitting sternum back together and saying, "WTF!  We are not doing this again, are we?"  I sure cannot see doing so.

These are the times that remind us that: 

"The grass withers and the flowers fall,
    but the word of our God endures forever.”

Or to be a bit more 1970s about it: "all we are is dust in the wind."

If Anyone Thinks Medicine is an Easy Job...

Look at the test results on your chart after open-heart surgery.   (You may prefer to not do the procedure if you are only curious to know.  But the pursuit of knowledge is important,  is it not?)  So many tests to verify blood type of the units to transfuse for you.  Detailed microscopic examination of the replaced parts.   X-rays at the start of surgery and for several days after, looking for stuff that has failed.  I am sure every test has a lawsuit, or at least a grieving widow, behind it.
