    Doing well. I have one more PT appt that I missed due to an emergency trip to Philly. I have full range of motion and then some. Pretty sure I am right back to where it was before surgery but it might actually bend more than a couple of degrees over baseline. Hyperextension to 3 degrees which is about what a biological knee does. Still swollen and a little sore and stiff at times but overall I am pleased with the outcome so far.

    Not a bit suprised. In my opinion, too many Americans are still just blaming one person for this mess we've unleashed on the world. It goes way deeper than that.

    I've liked Robert Reich since he was Labor Secretary. He's given me no reason to change that opinion. Big Al

    Oh, and I'm glad to hear that Canadian businesses are actually seeing some benefits from what's gone on with tariffs. Bit of a silver lining. Costco stores in the US carry a number of products made or grown in Canada. Indian food products and some vegetables come to mind immediately. We try to buy Canadian when we can! Oh, and sorry (once again) for the orange man....

    Was watching a UK vlogger's latest video about a recent 3-day trip to NYC. He went to see Death Becomes Her on Broadway. A glass of wine during intermission (in a take-home branded cup): $32!

    @Axtremus No I retired from that several years ago. I've been a church organist of late although I miss trucking. I'll share some organ vids from time to time. Hope you are well. I'll tell Rach On! I said hi to you.

    I think we have one or both of them here. But they are a 5 mile or so drive from here compared to maybe a mile to our favored supermarket. We’re weirdos though, because the locals drive everywhere and that feels like a slog to us. I guess I should look at the prices to see if they’re worth the travel. Ms. RP used to drive to the Costco in Bayonne, NJ once a week for bulk items, but she’s even doing that less often these days.
