Kidney stones ... a calamity for people living atop the world's largest proven reserves of petroleum. There's nothing that bad governance cannot destroy.
Just keep reminding yourself ... you're living the Socialist Dream.
Get better, Ol' Friend.

Thanks, Quill. I feel better today. Saddened by the departure of my daughters (I'll post about it). Had to say good bye last night. They'll take residence at their grandmother's apartment some 7 hours from where I live. From there the big one will leave to Brazil in 11 days.
