The floor is level. But I'm not sure I could walk on it steadily. . .

That or somebody drunk enough wouldn't have any problem with it at all.

Hi all, recovering from the treatment for the bronchitis. Ended up using my Medicare (and paying my deductible) to see a doctor in Roswell yesterday. The steroids the ER prescribed (most effective treatment for bronchitis) caused my lower extremities to blow up like Macy's parade balloons, painful and difficult to walk except on water........
A shot of Lasix and a script to pick up today is reducing the edema, the bronchitis is gone but my allergies are going crazy. I slept in my bed this morning for the first time in two weeks, it was wonderful.....
I will be filing a complaint with the VA as the Artesia clinic and the VA Patient Advocate never called me back after I left multiple phone messages.

That all sounds perfectly horrible, Ringel. Hopefully, you'll pull through with flying colors (and I don't mean the blue and purple of edema).

If you look at the reflection at the end of the hall, you can see the floor is level but that carpet could cause fits for some people.

That 007 sure does have some nice toys! For years I have envied all of the “boy toys” he comes up with. Way back when I had a 25th anniversary Camero. It was black with a red racing stripe, had t-tops and a red interior. However, it was nothing like the beast that 007 has. He’s da man I tell you. I’m green with envy. With his personality and demeanor I’m sure when he drives that thing down the street he suddenly becomes a huge chick magnet.

Oh, Big Black Dog, it's so good to see you again. (I used to be called "freedombecki", but the penalty for forgetting one's password is pretty severe, so now I'm "beautress."

And a happy good morning to all, wishing this day starter would be enough to keep you going all day, which I hope is just as lovely for all ....

Took a drive up to Fort Sumner today, Not really much there. Yes we stopped at the Billy the Kid Museum even though we're not Billy the Kid fans. What I really enjoyed and was also disturbed by was the Fort Sumner Historic Site/Bosque Redondo Memorial. The fort was built as a supply depot/guard outpost for the newly formed, experimental reservation. Starting in 1863 over a three year period 500 Mescalero Apache and 8500 Navajo were rounded up and forced to march to the reservation, several hundred dying along the way and some were abducted by slavers. They were supposed to grow corn but not only was the soil unfit for corn what corn that did grow became food for the cut worms that inhabit the area forcing the government to provide sustenance for years. The Mescalero felt betrayed and all escaped the reservation returning to the Sacramento Mountains to hide. Eventually the Army sent General William T. Sherman to investigate reports of mistreatment which he found resulting in the treaty of 1868 which shut down the reservation allowing the Apache and Navajo to return to reservations formed on their original home lands.
The chosen site was ill conceived from the very beginning, the fort was built out of adobe on a flood plain, the Pecos River in that area is quite brackish, the site lacked an adequate wood supply and the reservation essentially became a prison camp, disease was rampant. General James H. Carleton who had conceived and headed the experiment was finally replaced when public opinion turned against him and his grand failure.

I'm back from the east coast had a lot of fun. I visited Delaware, Maryland and PA. How's everyone doing has fall set in where you live?

I made oat-currant scones this morning. They are so delish fresh out of the oven. I think this is all I will eat today.

No fall weather in Florida yet. Today was football and laundry. I made queso, hot wings, pizza and chocolate chip cookies to munch on during the games.

We're still in lingering summer weather in Georgia, too. It's 76 degrees outside right now, which is too warm for after 9PM in October IMO. Better than Florida, but not great.

Looks like you guys are going to get at least the edge of that storm trying to be a hurricane out there in the Gulf:

Happy Columbus Day. I’ve always wondered how he ended up in Ohio. Seems like he would have landed on the coast some place. Go figure...
