Thoughts for the day

Another nice spring day.

I had an appointment with my eye doc. Everything is good and don’t go back for 6 months.

The US is paying El Salvador’s President $6million to hold 170+ Venezuelan men, many with no criminal record. The prison is on the list of the worst prisons in the world. The govt. is claiming they can’t bring back a man they admitted was sent there erroneously. How dumb is that?

‘Hands off’ protests were held in every state over the weekend. Too bad the administration isn’t listening.
