Update

Hillary is not going to die.

That being said, I feel an urge to stuff and mount multiple "news" outlet anchors/"reporters" and hang them in the Journalism Hall of Shame.

Mea Culpa. Mea Maxima Culpa for being offline today.

I have been offline since 8am. At that time I toted my friend Yerlin to a local clinic in Playa Brasilito to tend to her damaged thumb, at my insistence. I dropped her at the clinic and went to visit my friend Yvonne nearby.

Yvonne is a retired nurse, her knowledge of medicine extends from Switzerland, the Vietnam War, North Africa and eventually the USA. She is from the school of Been There, Done That. She saw a photo of Yerlin's thumb on Facebook, looked at me and said she may have to have part of her thumb amputated. My heart and my head totally agreed. Thank you Yvonne.

Within minutes, Yerlin called me to say the clinic doctor would not be in today but the medical assistant cleaned her wound. OK I have had enough.

I picked Yerlin up and we went to a private clinic in Santa Cruz. She saw a doctor, was fully checked out and given new medications. Only time will tell.

Thank you AllHatNoCattlers because a bit of the birthday money you sent me paid for Yerlin's doctor visit...and it was only 25,000 colones or less than $50 US dollars!

Yerlin's infection is very curious to us. How did she get it? At first Yerlin thought she picked up the infection from cleaning a wound on her dog BUT Yvonne disagreed and felt the type of infection she saw was more likely due to her work. Yerlin is the chef at a local restaurant and Yvonne felt she may have gotten the infection from some food item she handled at work.

Soooooooooo...that was my day.

Thank you Yvonne, Facebook and you, my viewers.

I'll be here tomorrow.

Peace, I hope.

While Hillary is recovering...

Nixon Deleted 20 Minutes Of A Tape Recording And Resigned. Bush Deleted 22 Million Emails And Became A Painter.
Clinton's email habits look positively transparent when compared with the subpoena-dodging, email-hiding, private-server-using George W. Bush administration. Between 2003 and 2009, the Bush White House “lost” 22 million emails. 
Like Clinton, the Bush White House used a private email server—its was owned by the Republican National Committee. And the Bush administration failed to store its emails, as required by law, and then refused to comply with a congressional subpoena seeking some of those emails.



Hillary Clinton could be coughing up blood while emailing state secrets at Starbuck's & still wouldn't ask troops to commit war crimes.- John Fugelsang

On CNN today they bashed Hillary for being too honest about Trump's followers and not honest enough about her health. In the same segment. With no irony. - Andy Borowitz
