Today’s Thoughts

A little more rain yesterday.

I’m walking well enough to get to Sam’s and got some groceries. That’s good.

My friend’s son is in a new rehab. Hopefully this one will help.

Why won’t Congress come back in session to deal with the current hot war in Israel/Gaza? Most of Congress is says this is horrific terrorism of one of the our closest allies, but they remain on recess as we don’t have a speaker. The whole world is watching our chaos and wondering what is happening.
