My turn…..
Congress continues to show that the vast majority of them are crooked. The latest effort with dealing with ObamaCare is nothing more than a joke. Seriously. A group of politicians who voted to repeal ObamaCare when they knew it wouldn’t actually happen can’t do the same thing when they know it could. Pathetic.
NFL & Patriotism: While I enjoy watching some NFL football I haven’t last season nor this season. Why? The NFL supporting various players taking a knee during the National Anthem. I cannot support that.
Health, Fitness, & Finances: Seems like everything needs to be a priority in the Rourke household these days. The wife had a health scare a couple weeks ago where we thought she had a blood clot. I was scared she was going to die. The ER ruled that out and a general physician visit has lead her to see a cardiologist for a stress test. That visit is next week. The wife and I discussed the need to get in better shape and improve our health. Life is so busy. We’ve been talking about finances and the need to get out of debt. The constant debt slavery – and that is what it is – that most of us experience is so draining. Financial freedom is something we seek. It will be extremely difficult. We are basing our efforts on Dave Ramsey’s The Total Money Makeover.

Your turn……
I’m in full agreement with all 3 of your thoughts.
Football, which is such an American sport, should not be tainted with undisciplined players. There should be some form of punishment for either the coaches (for allowing it of their players) or the players. Maybe then it would stop.
Praying for your wife.
Have been considering the “life without power” issues Clark related to this community after hurricane Irma rolled through(….have you heard from him or CaptTurbo in this past week?) Being without power in an isolated and unpolluted location is what most people imagine, but the lack of power doesn’t just turn off services, it causes issues like the sanitation nightmare Clark reported. I brought up the question of “what would happen” here in our small town if the power was off for an extended period when i saw one of our local city workers. Of course, the first response was that the generator would kick in. Pressed as to what would happen when/if the generator was not operational, he said it would (probably) end up bypassing the sewage plant IF residents were resourceful enough to have water for flushing/putting down the drain. He did say those residents in areas needing lift pumps operational to facilitate the drainage of the sanitary sewer pipes in the lower laying areas might have sewage backup into their basements. So….it ends up in the river worst case….not good. Having gravity fed drainage is good to keep it off the streets but if human waste is not treated in a proper manner, the vermin/bugs will get into it and transfer making exposure probable. Yep…my mind has been wandering and trying to make a plan…for an outhouse it looks like.
Looks like 1776 needs less than 100 votes to move into the top 25 ! i am off to add mine now and will try to vote before leaving the page every day…need to put it on my to do list. Weekend is half past, whew, time flies whether you’re having fun or not!
Stop to rest but don’t quit…
