A Good Tuesday

Today was a good day with the usual Tuesday activities of clinic, meeting, meeting at Crossroads Mall, browse the farmers market, home for lunch, nap and an evening swim.  Gave Andrew a ride from the bus-stop to Crossroads on my way to the pool. 

Had a hard time with the lift at the pool.  The batteries are old and I seriously overweight.  They will be installing new lifts on the month-long break starting next Monday.  Hopefully the new lifts will have more power.

While thinking about topics to write about, it occurred to me that I am grateful for being a white man in America and not a black man.  Another black kid was shot in the back while walking down the street by the police in Missouri.  Cop says victim shoved him when trying to get out his squad car.  Witnesses don’t corroborate that story.  Evidence proves kid was shot in the back some distance away from the cop car.   White guys do open carry.  Black guys get shot holding a toy gun in the toy department at Walmart.

RIP Robin Williams.  Depression can be a fatal condition.

I am grateful for good days, overcoming depression and for not being the victim of homicidal racism.
