Pepper spray use by law enforcement against non-violent protesters is clearly outrageous. Police protect property, not non-violent protesters. Furthermore, why are the police and fire fighters not standing with protesters? They lose team members with reductions in state and local budgets. The goal is to weaken unions, disable protesters, keep working people poor and shackle small businesses.

Glad to hear you came through the chemo okay. Hope the next time (if there must be one) is easier!

It's difficult to get time for rest. It's OK though. I listen to many people through the day who tell me how hard their jobs are, smaller staff, more expectations, longer hours, no breaks, and if someone can't handle it, they are out. My situation is not nearly that bad. I will be checking on retirement options, but probably cant for a few years yet.
Yesterday, I mowed the orchard. Mini-orchard. I stopped every 15 minutes or so to empty the grass bag, and used that to mulch trees and shrubs. I planted some tomatoes and other plants. Then I built another raised bed. I was so exhausted I could barely move. Today I'm stiff and sore. It feels really good. So work and "work" have different effects. Physical, if purely voluntary, is much less draining than mental/ high pressure.
I love hearing about your experiences. You make my day. Thank you.
