"Acts That Defy Humanity"

From CNN: The Tyre Nichols Murder

Neither place really is an enviable place to live, but for the time being, we are doing the best we can.

I'll be back, the good news is that I have a tentative date for the knee replacement surgery - Tuesday, March 14 at the Coronado Hospital. Still have appointments coming up, plus I have to attend a class on this procedure...afterwards going to stay in a rehab facility.

Take care y'all.
