Can't work in the garden for more than a half hour or so without popping a nitro under my tongue as I lay on the dirt sucking air through my teeth wondering if this'll be the time I don't get up again. ... .

I worry about the next generation, and those that follow them. What can I do about it? Realistically, nothing, other than blab here, for all the good it does.

You can set an example for others who'll follow in your footsteps, some of whom will face harder things than you're dealing with, most of whom hopefully will not.

But perhaps even aftter you're gone from this world and its pain and torments, some of those flowers in your garden you've planted may bloom again, or even propagate and spread, with their beauty remaining for others who never knew you- a gift for strangers. Some will appreciate it, some not.

Indeed, that's all ANY of us can do while we're here. I don't know for certain how good a job I've done myself, but I know one thing:

I'm glad I have the example you've set to follow. I hope to see you around someday, some other time or place, or under circumstances where time and places may not matter for much.

Thanks for the flowers in your garden, my FRiend.

Good to see you back on your feet, archy.

What do you make of the claims being made here? I can't sort it out between the hyperbole and what this legislation actually says/what it would actually do. Do you have a take on it?

Again, good to see you back on FR.
