We left for Johnson City at 1100 to have Gloria's IV pump DC'd. At 1220, she is no longer hooked to an IV bag and a battery-powered pump. She’s quite happy to be free of a liter (+) of liquid hanging off one shoulder at every moment. The 1/5 second green LED flash failed to keep us awake, but even I was able to hear the pump cycling and whirling as it fed antibiotic-laden NS to her circulatory system. She’s had a rough spring and summer due to multiple-drug-resistant microorganisms that may have originated in food.
The promised rainfall materialized on the drive into town. The rate was just sufficient to require intermittent wipers and to streak the windshield. Radar loops indicate some heavier rain to our Northeast. However, as expected, there are brief periods of falling leave joining raindrops. Hillsides are beginning to show autumn colors.
Unfortunately, Tennessee lawmakers are once again showing their willingness to destroy our republic and to replace it with a theocracy that will exclude millions of Americans. They are no different in their petty bigotry and belief in ancient fairy tales than their Iranian counterparts or the Afghan Taliban.

Tomorrow I plan on pulling pool maintenance prior to next week’s closure.
