Cassi Creek: I drove into
Mountain Home this morning for a dermatology follow up. While I have no suspicious lesions, the
pigmentation I demonstrate puts me in an elevated risk category. So, semi-annual exams are recommended. My skin was literally in the game.
My
appointment at 0900 meant that I needed to leave home at about 0745. That allowed time for foggy roads and the
parking lot dance. I checked in on time,
at about 0850. I sat in the waiting room
for nearly an hour while the television pumped out Fox News propaganda and misinformation. Everyone else seemed to be agreeing with the
broadcast. It is Appalachia and they are
veterans – mostly formerly enlisted personnel.
Sadly, that population tends to believe the Fox News / teavangelists BS.
It is somewhat
amusing seeing all the GOP legislators try to prevent going into Syria in any
military manner while simultaneously bringing back their attempts to find some
way to damage Obama for Benghazi.
It’s equally
strange to see the Democrats supporting a war to provide humanitarian aid. Kerry must feel really odd having to present
the arguments for attacking Syria. Time has
odd ways of looping on and around us.
Gloria has a
dental appointment today. We try to
combine travel when we can. Today the
intervals were wrong. We both wound up
driving in. That gave me a chance to slip an orchid into
the house for her.
