SHUT HER DOWN

GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN?
OVER DACA?
AGREEMENT WOULD NOT INCLUDE THE WALL?
I SAY, SHUT HER DOWN!

Really, no one cares too much.
The Democrats will orchestrate the shutdown if they are convinced that ALL the blame will fall to the Republicans. That shouldn't be too hard as the Media IS the democratic party.

All this makes it more amazing that Trump was elected, and that he is doing a great job.

It's been a tough week for the Democrats, this was the week that they learned that Trump is in good health and not likely to keel over from a heart attack any time soon. It's the same week that they learned that more and more companies are giving bonuses to their workers as a result of the new tax policy passed by the Republicans. It's the same week that they learned that Apple Computer is planning on repatriating BILLIONS of dollars into the country and paying BILLIONS of dollars in taxes to the US Treasury. It's the same week that they learned that new jobless claims are the lowest in nearly 50 years. Yep, it's been a complete DISASTER for the America-hating, self-hating, hateful Democrats that infest the Congress and media. You are probably wondering how I really feel. I don't like them.

24 HOUR INJURY

This morning, I have what I hope will be my last visit with my gastroenterologist for a long time.  The search for the cause of the iron deficiency in my blood has been fruitless so far.  I am grateful that nothing has been found - I now believe myself to be in excellent health.  Why shouldn't I think this....in the past few months I have been examined through seemingly every orifice in my body, I have swallowed a camera that took pictures of my digestive system, I have had my blood tested and re-tested, even my stool has been tested and I have had full body cat scan.  (It is the results of the cat scan and stool sample test which will be discussed at my appointment later today)  Since I have NOT received a phone call from my doctor to report for an emergency consultation - I am fairly confident that even this last test will have found nothing significant.

After a two hour workout at the YMCA on Wednesday, I rushed out and drove to the pool where my daughter has been involved in water polo this summer in order to pick her and my wife up to take them home.  By the time I got out of the car, I could not put any weight on my right foot and I was walking with an extreme limp.  It was hard to pinpoint exactly where the pain was coming from and the pain disappeared almost as quickly as it arrived.  Yesterday morning, there was still some lingering pain (or discomfort) in my right foot.  It did not prevent me from my 92 minute session on my home elliptical machine.  As the day wore on, the pain disappeared completely.

This is a reminder to myself that I need to be extra careful during the last month prior to my Half Dome Hike.  Half Dome is 2000 miles from my home in Chicago and the reservation (permission) to climb the mountain was secured nearly 6 months ago.  This may not be a one-in-a-lifetime event - but it is certainly rare enough that I would be crushed if I missed the chance due to some freak accident or injury.  Perhaps yesterdays pain was some kind of muscle strain in my foot from removing my sneakers too quickly - or twisting my feet the wrong way when I was putting on my street shoes.   The lesson today:  don't get hurt too close to October 1.  It would be a devastating setback.

I need to avoid injury before October 1

Half Dome, Yosemite National Park, California

My Garmin GPS tell me that Half Dome in Yosemite Park is 2013 miles from my home in Chicago.  I know better. As October 1 approaches - Half Dome is getting closer and closer each day!
