My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
A nice winter
day.
I made a quick
run to my blood doctor’s new office for some paperwork for a blood draw. Same
Doctor, new Company. I now have many forms to fill out before my next visit.
While I was
out, the Grounds Crew trimmed some trees. I’m happy because the Blue Spruce in
my front area had long branches that block the sidewalk when it snows.
Biden’s
Private company vaccine policy was overturned by the Supreme Court. This just
adds to several tough losses he has had this week. Sad.
King Soopers
workers are on strike. I worked in the grocery business through high school and
college. I had to join the union when I became a clerk. I never worked at King’s,
but I do understand the need for more pay. It would be difficult, if not
impossible to raise a family for these workers at their present wages. While
the grocery business helped me pay for college, it wouldn’t have by today’s costs.
