A trip to the credit union, a trip to the store


I went into the credit union today. I walked in on a conversation between the teller and the customer. The customer couldn't stand still. I figured out he had won $ in the lotto, but I don't know how much. This is about the only american dream left with a path to being able to pay all the bills and have play $.

I bumped into an old friend in the parking lot after going to the store. Her husband had been in the hospital with his life in doubt. Heart. They don't make enough to get Obamacare. And Nebraska didn't expand medicaid. They figure it will be many years before it is paid off while having little to live on.
