Thoughts for the day

A decent day. Preparing for snow on Thurs and Fri.

I did my grocery shopping today, just in case of big snowfall. All good.

I watched the Trump speech last night. Speaker Johnson had to kick out Congressman Green for lack of decorum. Trump laid out plans that will require lots of Congressional action. These joint speeches are always full of a President’s dream. It sounded like a nightmare for the middle and lower class. Our country used to believe that many things we do were expensive and necessary. Those days were not heard in this speech.

Mary has leg surgery tomorrow. I hope all goes well. Andy, Faith, and I will be having lunch at our favorite Chinse restaurant.

 

Forgotten American Heros…

Dr. Charles Drew

Dr. Charles Drew, a pioneering African American physician, revolutionized the field of blood transfusion and storage during the 20th century. His innovative techniques in blood plasma preservation saved countless lives during World War II.

Drew's contributions to medicine and science extend beyond his groundbreaking work; he challenged racial barriers and advocated for equal opportunities in the medical field.

His legacy as a trailblazer in healthcare and civil rights continues to inspire future generations of medical professionals.
