We resume our series discussing our crappy WLBOTT “Bronze” medical insurance. To save costs, medical professional we visit must be dual-certified. This may push the boundaries of good taste, but what the heck, we’re WLBOTT. How about a dentist that is also a septic tank repairman?

So…. a fellow elder suggested that I seek professional help. It was said in a kind, loving, bellow; a sort of barking bay.

My Ukrainian ENGin buddy, and Friend of the BLOTT, has shared one of her favorite poems with us. Крилаby Lina Kostenko Kryla (Wings)by Lina Kostenko(Translated from Ukrainian by Elder G) А правда, крилатим ґрунту не треба. Землі немає, то буде небо. Немає поля, то буде воля.

The current United States regime is cutting many vital services. In it’s wisdom, it defunded a true jewel of democracy – Radio Free Europe. Radio Free Europe (RFE) began in 1949, to broadcast news, current events, politics, and, interestingly, jazz to the eastern European countries trapped behind the iron curtain.
