9/25: Bits and Pieces

Politics/Economy/MOAB:
Okay, it appears this Mother of all Bailouts (www.survivalblog.com) is $700 billion, and still stands to not help individuals very much. From George Bush' speech last night, he again is not taking any responsibility for even a little bit of this economic mess. Can people really convince me that the cost of this "war" has/had no impact on America's financial state?

Garden:
Picked a huge overlooked couple of cucumbers. There's a couple of watermelons (Golden Midget) that are ready to eat - might be something good to go with dinner (Doug and I are having sushi, Weslee gets his favorite: leftover pepperoni pizza and vanilla goat yogurt).

Health:
Weslee's toe is beginning to look a tiny bit better. I went to the cardiologist this morning and am now wearing a holter (heart) monitor until 9 a.m. tomorrow. There's a little button I push when I get a symptom, and diary to keep of symptoms and corresponding times.

Business:
Still waiting to get problems with software provider resolved, but so far, nothing much. Doug and I are working on a possible alternate. V
