Trump rally in Denver Sat. evening:

Does anyone recognize the priest sitting just to the right of Trump?
I say "priest" because he wore a clerical collar, but he could be a denomination other than Roman Catholic, though nor likely.
Two rows above a woman wore a tee-shirt that read "Catholics for Trump".

It made me so angry to see his smug face giving credence to Trump's over-the-top words.
I consider it a disgrace and a scandal that a man of God would lend whatever credibility he has to this vile, vulgarian excuse for a political leader. How can he minister to those who reject the very thought of Trump as a President of the US?

It's highly likely that the priest and the tee-shirt woman were plucked out of the attendees to be showcased throughout the nation.

I hear you, and realize there's much to what you say.

My home is one-floor also, and some accommodations - hand rails, higher commodes, walk-in shower - are in place.
Plus it's the place my adult kids gather for holidays.
And, frankly, the idea of moving is physically daunting. - I have limited energy and stamina for all that a move would entail.
I also keep odd hours - up late at night, sleep in in the morning.
Food/meals are to be considered. - I like a hot meal in the evening, though I no longer cook. I get prepared meals from supermarket or drive-throughs that prepare your order on the spot.
I could get help in to assist as needed as/if I become limited.

Therein lies the dilemma I first spoke of

Was there a vote by the eight justices or was the matter simply referred back to

the Appeals Court?
I didn't see that in the TPM story (unless I missed it).

Not many Hispanics in Ohio either - unfortunately.

Ohio is predicted to go Red.
It would seem that Kasich's lack of endorsement for Trump has no effect on Repubs thinking. - Many/most repubs are still going to vote Trump, apparently.

The independent living apt. I have in mind, though I haven't toured it yet,

is part of my larger neighborhood, and presumably I'll still be driving for a while. Dinner is offered daily, brunch on Sunday, other than that you're on your own, which is fine. - Breakfast & lunch I can do easily. I know of some of the residents, but do not know them well. It's considered rather upscale, was converted from an Apartment to a non-profit independent living a number of years ago. My adult children are within several miles.

Your question: are you inferring there are some things I'd better know before proceeding with independent living?

Housing decision - stay in my (now overlarge) home, with lawn care & other

constant maintenance, move to independent living apt. where other levels of care will be available if/when needed, or move to a condo, realizing that I may require another move should long-term care be necessary.

Thank you, rug. nt

Okay. - I'll give a new portrait of Trump

about 20 seconds of my time, and then move on to more important matters.
(I'm not knocking your OP, Laura; just completely sick of Trump. Plus, I have already voted.)
