Elaine has had a bad cold and cough over the past few days with a lot of time in bed. Carolyn brought down some picture albums today for us to enjoy since we weren't able to have Jack with us this week. We got Elaine over to see Dr. Summa and to get a prescription from Mueri's. She seems to be feeling a bit better by tonight but still coughing. NET has a musical program of music from the 50's and 60's which we are watching. It is a nice break from watching the political news though it was interesting to see the long lines of young people, going to hear former president Clinton.
I got a hair cut this morning and when
Bob and I were the only ones there, asked his poll of people passing
through his shop, on their opinion of Donald Trump. He confirmed what is
being said in the media that people are disgusted with government and
want change. After some visiting, we agreed that change isn't always
positive--it also has the potential to be negative, and often is. My
career in natural resource conservation taught me that significant
changes are not made overnight or in a year or two. But rather by making
positive, incremental change. We need politicians who are willing to
think in terms of "whats good for the country" instead of their
re-election, party and lobbyist position and of those that finance
them. Campaign finance change during the past few years is a prime
example of negative change to our democratic form of government. Tim called this evening on his birthday, and we had a good visit.
