Blame it on old age.......

I apologize for my laxness (is that the word?), not getting anything new up here in such a long time!  We did get our new swamp cooler put in and it has worked efficiently up through the present time.  I wish that I was as efficient! Now it is almost time to start thinking about the home heating system.  My "elderly" bones can't take too much cold.  I usually wear short socks in the summer and I have to slit the tops so that they don't cut off circulation to my feet.  I don't know what that has to do with the price of tea in China!  And speaking of my feet,  (I was speaking of my feet before I got off on China!) I have lost feeling in much of both feet since some months back (it's been so long that I hardly pay attention to it anymore).
VA says they can't do anything about it.  But they are willing to cut my toenails every couple of months so that I don't injure myself because I have no feeling down there.  I love to be "babied".  Any other volunteers?  The only time so far that the VA cut my toenails, it was a beautiful female pediatrician.......no---I guess it was a podiatrician (that must be close!) Or maybe podiatrist.  Anyway, during the process--she asked me if I had lower back pain.  "of course, I have lower back pain--who doesn't at my age?"  Then she indicated to me that the lower back pain and the loss of feeling in the feet is related.  Yes, well I'm related too but I don't go around bragging about it!....

Election is coming up pretty quickly now.  I have always been a democrat so you know where my heart is and where my vote is going.  I hope that all eligible people get out and vote.  I don't care for who....just vote!!!

(Oh yes, Halloween is nearby so here is a pic of the front of our home in Tucson and a pic of my beautiful Tammy whom we lost about two years ago.)

I guess that so far in this segment....that I have made about as much sense as those people on Fox News on television which to my way of reckoning is "no sense".  So with that.....I'll catch you on the other side.....take care....Gino, the can man
