Color me gone!
It’s a busy day, here in the CatBox. I was able to keep the last three meals down. I usually have the most trouble at breakfast and wonder if my morning pills are blocking the tiny opening around the tumor. I have my Medicare Advantage company researching liquid prescription alternatives. Today is my PET Scan. I’ll get the results sometime next week. I’ll get home at around 1:00 PM, and by the time I change clothes, put everything away, and prepare and eat lunch, I’ll have a very short nap at best, so you may not hear from me until tomorrow. Hopefully, I’ll be back in the saddle then. Remember: Democrats debate, Republicans masdebate! TGIF to all!

I’m sorry, but I need to take the day off. On the whole, my blended diet has been going very well, but my eggs and potatoes blend is a total failure. It gave me screaming heartburn that is so severe that I cannot concentrate on research. I should be back in the saddle tomorrow. Hugs to all.

Standing corrected by one, who shall remain Nameless, I’m going to the hospital where the endoscopist will carefully record and examine every cm. on the way down and the way up, when he shoves the camera down my throat. 
Wish me luck! I hope I’m back in the saddle tomorrow.

Short Takes:
From Willamette Week: A lawsuit filed Feb. 11 by seven tenants against their downtown landlords alleges squalid living conditions in the apartments above a Portland landmark.
The plaintiffs: Seven tenants of the Stewart Hotel at 127 SW Broadway
The defendants: Leon and Pamela Drennan and Pennie Narver, who are associated with the building’s landlord and owner.At issue: The Stewart Hotel, located next to iconic strip joint Mary’s Club, is filled with single-room-occupancy apartments. It’s both a relic of a bygone Portland and a desperately needed home for low-income Portlanders. Monthly rent is about $600.
The claims: The lawsuit, filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court, documents shockingly unhealthy conditions for Portlanders finding shelter there, even as the hotel’s caretaker has filed for bankruptcy and apparently abandoned all care of it.
The lawsuit lists a horror show of conditions: “holes in walls, cockroach infestations, lack of heat, persistent and potentially dangerous mold, broken washers and dryers, debris in common areas, bed bugs, and inadequate plumbing.”
I actually had to live there when I became disabled, and could not work, and when it took me four years to get SSDI disability approval and three more years on Central City Concern’s waiting list, after which I moved to the Henry. It’s as bad as they say it is. The landlords are pseudo-Christian Republicans. I hope the tenants succeed in their suit. RESIST!!
From The New Yorker: In a decision that Donald Trump called “incredibly unfair,” Judge Amy Berman Jackson has sentenced Roger Stone to ten years of house arrest in the home of Senator Susan Collins, of Maine.
As part of the sentence, Senator Collins will be required to live under the same roof as Stone, in Bangor, and insure that he is properly fed, clothed, and exercised until 2030.
The sentence immediately drew howls of protest from Stone, who claimed that living with the ceaselessly waffling Collins would “send me over the edge.”
“Judge, can we revisit the whole prison idea?” Stone begged Jackson.
Dang, Andy! As much as I hate to admit it, I’m on Roger Stone’s side. Having to live with Slithering Susan Collins is clearly cruel and unusual punishment. RESIST!!

Masha Gessen could not have been more accurate in her speech. Her list of rules was just as good, as was Snyder’s. I have been comparing the Republican Party with Germany’s National Socialist Party of the 1930s for years. History proves me right every week. RESIST!!

This is the first song I played publicly in a band after I got my Fender Stratocaster. Ah… the memories! RESIST!!
I have a very busy day with my cardiac stress test When I return home at supper time, I’ll eat and go right to bed. Woe is me! The Holy Ellipsoid Orb has gone dark, depriving the earth of its blessings until pre-season late in the Summer. Oh God! It’s Monday!
