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.
