Britains oldest man, World War One veteran Henry Allingham, smiles during his 113th birthday party at HMS President, in London, June 6th 2009. The Royal Navy organised the party for Allingham, on the day of his birthday, for his family, close friends and members of the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force.
Tracey might be able to get off work by early afternoon and if she does we plan to take my scooter to Peoria to have that coolant leak fixed before my warranty is up. I have mixed feelings about this and hope they can get it fixed properly before next year.
I am also becoming more heart broken about what I see as a near complete failure at fixing the health care system in this country. I had really hoped that there might be a way to end this extortion but it appears the Medical Mafia is too powerful, the Repuglicans too corrupt, and the Dimocrats too gutless.

In a couple weeks I will be on #JuryDuty and the closer I get to this unsavory event the more inclined I am to rant about it. I resist because even the faintest chance that I should have a judge read my thoughts is not worth a contempt of court charge. I have often considered getting sick to avoid the whole farce but I guess thats not right either. Yes I am conflicted.
