I'm getting ready for a date in a hospital operating room next week. I'm in a lot of pain, and not feeling desperately creative, either in reading or in writing (fiction, at least - there's an endless supply of news and doofidical bureaucrats to provide inspiration for regular blog articles!). Also, it's not easy sitting for long periods at the computer. Perhaps, when all this is over, that problem will go away.
Anyway, no extended Saturday Snippets for this weekend and next weekend. Please amuse yourself with the bloggers listed in the sidebar. They write good, too!
A particular recommendation this morning is to read Lawdog's latest post, "Meditations On Duty". I'll have more to say about that next week, but it's an important article, and should make any armed citizen think carefully before acting.

Take care and get well soon!
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself buddy.

Good recommendation, thanks Peter. Get well soon, prayers for your recovery.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to you, Peter. Having navigated the faceless bureaucratic world of large hospitals myself, I pray that you have patience for the long grind of the wheels and cogs of modern medicine.

ReplyDeleteYessir, mend well and mend quickly.
ReplyDeleteHang in there ....
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime wanna talk about inflation? I found my list!
Back in 2021 I put together 30 days of food, not great eating but it's eating and it didn't cost much so I could afford to just put it away.
I wrote what-when-& how much in September 2021 & found the list so I can see just how much prices went up... I bought this list of stuff from Walmart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This list was from September 11th, 2021
30# of white rice in six 5# bags @ $3.62 ea
12 cans of chili @ $1.36 ea
12 cans of beef stew @ $1.74
4 cans of chicken meat @ $2.18
2 cans of tuna fish (larger cans, like the canned chicken meat) @ $1.98
30 cans of vegetables @ 0.52 ea
Bullion cubes, 2 packs @ $1.88 ea
Salt 0.48
Sugar, $2
Pepper, $1.87
Garlic powder and assorted other spices, $2
cooking oil, small bottle. $2.13
Well under $100...
Praying for you. Get better soon.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your surgery and hopefully a full recovery.
ReplyDeleteListen to your PT's!
Standing desk to help your sitting problems? Slow motion treadmill for added variety? Hot tub for zero-gee simulation? Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteHope that the surgery goes well, and that you are back to health soon.
ReplyDeleteWe (I) need your blog for good analysis and intelligent comments, and your books for when I just can't stand the reality anymore.

Prayers and well wishes.

ReplyDeleteYou will be in our prayers Peter. ---ken
ReplyDeleteJust take care of yourself and get well.
ReplyDeleteGod speed and best wishes, sir. I have enjoyed both your blog and your books. I hope your treatment goes well and there are many more of both.
ReplyDeleteGood thoughts to you, also what Jim and LB said.
ReplyDeleteHi Peter
