The Mystic predicts the future again!

As I came home after dark tonight, I did noticed the intensity of the stars in my central californian sky. Since the moon is no longer around, we can see the milky way and several constelations tonight. I love that I live in a small, serene town where such simple pleasures can be noticed on a daily basis. I must had that for the last several months, we saw no sky, due to an inordinate amount of foggy weather that has plagued my little town.

I had a meeting tonight where we saw a great presentation by a colleague of PTSD symptoms and treatment. Also, I was informed that if I would like to, I can participate in the process of norming the tests for licensing for $300 a day, all expenses paid, flight to Sacramento included! I might just check it out.

I hope all have had an opportunity to check our gobernator being sold on e-bay. Gracious contribution from HippyChick! arnold I loved it. Why am I not surprised though that all of these medical companies are so eager to sustain profits. Healthcare in this country is such big business. At the meeting tonight, some of the older folks stated that they remember the days when doctors performed home visits. I remember that too. All chimed in that I remember because I am from another country, that here it has not happened in quite a long time. The last home visit I remember was when I was about 6 and my mother was sidelined by an intense asthma attack. Maybe I remember that one because I was quite frightened that my mother was in bed and not able to care for all of us as that was seriously abnormal in our household. She was, as for most families in those days the glue that held the house together. Although, I guess, despite all of the societal changes, despite taking on more and more responsibilities outside the home, I believe that for many families that remains true.

Again great show by Jon Stewart who pointed out the continued contradictions of the administration and what immense difficulties the prez had to speak the word "conservation," let alone follow up on this new policy. Stewart was quick to find a clip where the press secretary in the first year of baby Bush's presidency stating that the way americans consume energy is just our way of life and we should not have to sign any treaty that would limit our consumption in any way. Of course, it did not hurt that the guest was Viggo Mortensen, an all time favorite of mine, who managed to be funny. However, I was dissapointed that the subject of politics was not discussed as I know he is a very dedicated activist who republishes several excellent articles of dissatisfaction with the administration on his website, PercevalPress and is involved in several causes.
