My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
Nice winter
day.
Medicare
appt. went well. Slowly moving into old
age. Ha-ha.
I ordered my
home Covid tests from the government. Took some time to find a website, but a
friend sent me a link and after filling out the form I got a conformation in
about a minute. Thank you, government.
I listened
to part of Biden’s presser yesterday. It was a lot longer than most expected. While
some of it seemed a tad rambling, it is still much better than the previous
President.
The Ukraine
situation isn’t getting any better. Biden is walking a very fine line. I hope
his negotiations bring this to a peaceful solution. I still need to learn more
about that area.
Happy that
the Tahiti trip is pinned down with flights. Started to get excited about the
trip in March.
Winter
brings Prescribed Burns to our area.
Luckily, the ones today are not producing smoke near my place.
