have been watching the Kennedy hearings online, fascinating
learned of different states having same issues with health care in rural america

not sure telehealth is more than a triage mechanism, though using smarter AI now
maybe if Amazon could deliver meds within four hours to your home, that would be a start.
but if folks don't have a BP meter at home, missing lot of vital info. At some point you need lab
work done. Maybe make getting self diagnostic lab work easier. ? Probably would get abused but maybe
if first approved by Mildred, the nice lady robot that I dealt with.

what has to be reduced is unnecessary misuse of EMS, guys like Ted driving ambulances at one time
who know the same old folks who needed some tlc and attention in the nice warm hospital.
Our health care is incredibly expensive and statistically doesn't work all that well compared to our peers.
We may be a rich nation but we aren't all that healthy.
so much of this is due to diet.
one too many quarterpounder and fries on a national scale

I hope they don't decree that fat shaming is ok. Easy target for haters.

my local hospital is full with flu and respiratory patients.

David, good to be in balance. ;)

Good Morning!!!! 39F @ 6:45AM. Abundant sunshine. High 57F. Winds light and variable.

The '23 Camry and Promaster both came with printed owner's manuals. The infotainment system in the Promaster came with a separate manual that was several hundred pages long. Ugh.

Too bad that Ford dealer doesn't believe in repeat customers, Drew. Only saving grace is it was just hoses, and not something major.

During my recent experiences getting re-established with a family doctor and running down some health issues I could never get an appointment that was less than two weeks away, and some, like an MRI, took six weeks. That's how people end up at the emergency room for problems that aren't life and death. The low medical school graduation rate will ensure that the problem only gets worse.

Fooled around getting setup to buck wood on Monday, and only got a quarter pallet done. Saw wasn't cutting very well, and used up a half dozen batteries before daylight gave out. Put on a freshly sharpened chain for Tuesday, and finished that pallet and got a quarter of another one filled. Might have enough wood to fill it the rest of the way today, but it'll be close. I'll be glad when that little job is done.

Load tested the batteries in the Ford yesterday, and they both failed. They've been on a BatterySaver charger for the past six weeks, so there's no saving them. Gonna try to get to the Ford dealer today or tomorrow to get new ones. They're in month 27 of a 36 month "free warranty", sez so in big letters right on the side of the batteries, both Motorcraft from the Ford dealer. Hope I don't get any static when I try to make the exchange.

Happy Hump Day, already!

Wind gusts have been strong all day. I was careful to stay clear of trees when walking Cody

More trees down the better, want to eventually be done with the cleanup.
Have a few really stubborn ones, right along the trail I made, of course.
Can hear the trees smacking into each other, what a racket :)
