And again, Long List, Presuming you are stupid, The more you know

I was back at the dermatologist for a 6 month check up. I had them biopsy a very small spot behind my left year that had been there for quite awhile. I was hoping it would resolve itself but it hasn’t. It’s such a small spot I am not sure if they would do conventional MOHS on it or not. It’s been a long time since I have gone a calendar year without getting something cut off/out.

So with pickleball being off the menu for a week and a half I am hoping to get some improvement in the aches and pains that are my normal companion. I would say my lower body feels a bit better but apparently my two shoulders decided to even things out. They both are significantly painful, so much so that I abandoned my bench press routine yesterday mid-way through the second set. If I do a complete inventory of the aches and pains it would include the right hip/knee/IT band, left knee, both shoulders, left thumb and my lower back now and then. It’s a constant game of whack-a-mole. One thing shows some improvement only to have another take front and center in the pain department. Getting old sucks.

If I was a Trump acolyte I would be offended by just how ignorant my human deity presumes that I am. He posted this ridiculous image to his social media, which he later removed because people found it in very poor taste and offensive for Trump to picture himself in a Jesus-like manner. His explanation that he thought would be accepted by light thinkers is he viewed it as him being a doctor. Even though the MAGA or death crowd will defend anything and I mean anything Trump says or does, even if it makes them seem like they are deaf and blind, I will feel sad/offended on their behalf that the president really thinks “his” people, are brainwashed enough to swallow and digest most anything he says. If he pissed on their leg and told them it was raining no further questions would be asked.

I know I have mentioned this reality a number of times over the years but it keeps being proven out to me again and again. It goes simply as this, generally speaking (not always), the more you know about a person, the less you will like them. When you find people that buck that trend, hold onto them.
