27 Ford vehicles showed-up in the parking lot where I work over the last week. All are new fleet vehicles with spot lights on driver and passenger sides and generic paint jobs. Clearly someone is about to upgrade vehicles for use in law enforcement. It’s just strange what kind of things folks leave in the…

Review: Palermo Restaurant
Palermo has been around for forever in my hometown. I never think about it when it comes to Italian food, even though I have been there 3 times prior. It is a family-owned restaurant that clams to make Italian food from scratch. Let’s get to the review! Blogger Note: on this trip we were in…

I told my girl that I wanted a burger and a beer. I’m not much of a drinker but it just sounded good. We hopped in the car and drove for about 20 minutes to somewhere I’d never been before. We parked next to a McDonald’s—not a good omen—and then went for a walk. We…

I’m about ten days into this trip. Here are a few observations thus far. Getting a visa extension to stay here was easy. The hardest part was the demand that payment be made in cash. The cost was just north of 4,000 pesos ($66). I needed to complete a form, pay a fee, and then…

As October begins, my wife is struggling to eat. Most of her nutrition is via a plastic soda straw. She also has severe burns from the radiation treatment. These burns cover an area between her shoulders and from her neck to her arm pits. Her skin in this area varies between being brown or black…

Note: My second post for August was never completed so here’s the update covering the last few weeks. This week my wife completed her 25 radiation treatments. She was told that there will be two more chemo treatments in October. This is in addition to the previously scheduled five that she has had. Chemo weeks…

The answer is simple but also complex. I will try to break it down for you as only I can. It’s wild, Kamala is the farthest left politician ever nominated and has a douche bag of a running mate. Polling has shown a tie, or maybe a 1 percent edge either way. Its close. 1. …

The first week of chemo is now over. As before, the second day after infusion was the worst. Thankfully we have the next week off. On deck are 25 treatments of radiation that run concurrent with more chemotherapy. Yep, five days a week for five weeks. Radiology is now part of the treatment regime. Our…
