Via WHIO.com, car that was used to kill and injure protesters today

in Charlottesville VA has an Ohio license plate, with tag representing Lucas County, Ohio.
Lucas County is in northwest Ohio, and includes the city of Toledo.

And for those injured in Charlottesville VA today, and for the citizens

of Charlottesville, whose home city has been besmirched by the evil committed there today.

Volare, sung by Domenico Modugno. Nel blu dipinto di blu.

It was huge the summer of 1958, in US and Europe.
I was doing the grand tour of Europe with my college roommate and "Volare" was blaring wherever we stopped, in whatever country.

Many were writing her off during her last election campaign - 2012.

Somehow, she's been able to hold off the enemy.

I've heard that Dollar Store is good for cards, and calendars, etc.

They aren't on my usual route for shopping, so I have to weigh convenience with price.
Mostly, I now use blank cards sent from charities - Alzheimer's Assoc., etc.

And birthday cards now $ 3.50 to $5.00+ instead of $1.49 to $2.99 max.

I'd rather spend the $3.50 to $5.00 on a birthday treat for the honoree than on a card.

Most likely his neurological condition is progressing, and, in addition, he may be lacking

mental stimulation. He may also be having trouble adjusting to the new situation and may be depressed, or confused.

Medicare only pays for physical therapy for a certain period - say one month; then the patient is assessed to see if more improvement is to be expected; if not, therapy is discontinued.

A nursing home should have activities available to residents daily.

The presence of family and friends is all important to a nursing home resident, in order to support the resident, but also to exhibit to the nursing home that someone/family/ friends are interested in seeing that the resident is given proper and sufficient care. Usually the nursing home welcomes visitors. Perhaps sharing a meal with him would be a good way to spend time with him.

My spouse was in a nursing home because of a neurological condition for six years, until his death. It was difficult for him; he never wanted to be there, but the conditional was such that he would not have lived without the care and routine he had there. Family visited every day, mostly at mealtime.

Trump team wants to get rid of Cordray; I'm surpised they've let him dangle this long.

He was called out by name by one of the Trumpies last week as one who should go. - I can't remember who it was, perhaps Lewandowski.

I like Cordray and think he would be a good governor, and he may be the best of the pack wanting to run. He's smart in the ways that matter. I'm not sure, however, that he has the dynamism necessary to attract the following he would need to win the governorship. I'd like to proven wrong.
