You want to swim with dolphins?

Our great grandson was swimming in the intercoastal near Hatteras NC last Summer. He didn't go swimming with the dolphins, they came up and swam with him. I don't know who had the most fun. A little further South at Bogue Inlet there are always dolphins that like to swim with humans. If you go to Florida, there are places where it is legal for humans to swim with manatees.

Just in case not enough is done in the next few years,

I hope Musk is able to save a few people by setting up a colony on Mars. Good tv show on Netflix. Takes place on Mars starting in 2033, but it also has real scientists explaining what needs to be done now for it to have a chance to succeed. I have very little, almost no faith that the Earth will be livable for humans by 2100.

If he doesn't shut down the government he is giving into Pelosi.

If he does shut down the government, the Republicans are going to have to vote with the Democrats and override his Veto or lose big time in 2020.

Real bright.

He won't talk unless the subpoena wont be issued. Then the subpoena will be issued.

Thank you for your opinion. I did not expect a legal opinion.

Choice Plus was very good here and I saw a neurologist and dentist in Jacksonville, but now nothing. I here that Choice Plus or something like it is starting with less or mileage involved. I think it is if you have a 20 day wait or have to drive more than 30 miles. Mt family all have doctors in Jacksonville so if I do get an appointment with a doctor here most likely my family will be able to tell me how good he or she is. This I don't understand, my neurologist but in for me to have an MRI. Fayetteville could not get me an appointment right away so they discarded the appointment application. I did not know until I had a dental appointment in Wilmington and went into radiology to see what was up. That's when I learned about it. Very nice people in radiology, they told me to ask my neurologist for another appointment and to call me as soon as he made it. He called the next day and I called radiology like they told me to and I had my MRI two weeks later. So I guess if your appointments goes through the VA hospital near you, as soon as your doctor puts a request for an appointment, call that place you will have it and make the appointment yourself.

Negotiators see deal within sight.

The Republicans want $5.7 billion to build the wall and the Democrats can see $5.7 billion for border security without the wall. Where is that deal they can see?

With carbon dioxide levels reaching 400 ppm,

have we already reached the tipping point where what ever we do will be pointless unless there is a drastic change in the way we live? I am 75 years old and I do not think that enough people will be willing to change. I have lived long enough to know that no matter what scientists tell people they wont care because they can't or wont see it. I don't worry about the Earth, because once we are gone or at least most of us are, Earth will slowly start to set things right. The only hope I see for humans is setting up colonies on Mars although I don't think Mars wants us.

I wanted to watch something uplifting.

I watched The Miracle Worker 1962 with Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke.

My wife and I and 1/3 of the people are on one payer.

I am 100% service connected disabled so 100% of all my medical is covered by the VA. My wife is on Medicare and her supplemental is CHAMPVA. Because of eye problems he ophthalmologist is covered. All she pays for is dental.
