proud -- lots of greens). Another romp around the golf course, then pretty much have sex the rest of the afternoon. After supper, it's back to the golf course again. Then it's more sex until late at night. I catch some much needed sleep and then the next day it starts all over again" "Oh, Frank! Heaven?"

The pain had magically subsided to where I was only a wee bit tender for about an hour then all pain disappeared.
The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft the plane would re-board in 50 minutes.

Come Saturday morning, time to go to the meeting . . . but the back was acting up with more pain than it had on Friday. I decided I'd better have it looked at and treated after the meeting.
She asked a few questions, probed my phenomenally beautiful body, made a number of adjustments on my back . . . then did some type of leg pull that popped my lower back into where it was supposed to be. I felt an instant release of most of the pain . . . she did the other leg as well but the right leg was where the problem apparently was. (She talked about a Psoas muscle, that runs from the spine to the hip and groin area. That was what had tightened up and was causing my difficulty.)
Reportedly, a woman was flying from Seattle to San Francisco. Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted to Sacramento along the way.
Everybody got off the plane except one lady, who was blind.

Normally, I would see my good friend, Dr. Steve Heilman, also a Kiwanian, but his office isn't open on weekends to I went to ? "The Joint," a fairly new chiropractic clinic that is open seven days a week. The chiropractor on duty was Dr. Alyson Mather . . . from Massachusetts.

Again, thank you. You express yourself as or more colorfully than Mark Twain. Excellent!

A man had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind because her guide dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of her throughout the entire flight. He could also tell she had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached her, and calling her by name, said, "Kathy, we are in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?" The blind lady said, "No thanks, but maybe Buddy would like to stretch his legs." Picture this:
All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a guide dog for the blind! Even worse, the pilot was wearing sunglasses !
People scattered. They not only tried to change planes but they were trying to change airlines! Supposedly a true story.

wasn’t supposed to be paid until 1945, but crushing economic pressures of the Great Depression pushed the out-of-work veterans to demand the money early.
Organizers called it the “Bonus Expeditionary Force Marchers,” but the media called it the “Bonus Army.” The U.S. Attorney General ordered the veterans removed from all government property. When the veterans resisted, shots were fired and two were killed. President Herbert Hoover then ordered the Army to clear the veterans' campsite.

I'm super impressed!
I'm a big believer in chiropractic. There are any number of times when I've been hurting and hurting bad and one trip to the chiropractor relieved all of my pain, almost instantaneously. Good chiropractors are worth their weight in gold. But that's the key . . . you have to find the good ones. Dr. Steve is a great chiropractor. Have used him for years and trust him. Now, I've found another chiropractor I'd see anytime I was hurting. Either one or both could help me. Just a word to the wise. If you've got some aches and pains in that ancient carcass of

March of the Bonus Army
The burning of Washington, D.C., by the British Army during the War of 1812, wasn’t the only time our nation’s capital city was invaded. It happened the spring and summer of 1932 – some 83 years ago, when some 17,000 World War I veterans marched on the city, demanding a cash redemption of their bonus certificates, which had been issued to World War I veterans.
With their families, a total of 43,000 set up a make-shift encampments of tents and temporary shacks, resolving not to leave until the government made good on a 1924 “World War Adjusted Compensation Act.” The money
Army Chief of Staff, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, commanded the infantry and cavalry units, which was supported by six tanks. The tanks were commanded by Maj. George S. Patton. The Bonus Marchers, believing the troops were marching in their honor, cheered the troops until Patton ordered the cavalry to charge them -- an action which prompted the spectators to yell, "Shame! Shame!"
The Bonus Army marchers with their wives and children were driven out, and their shelters burned. The veterans fled across the Anacostia River to their largest camp, known as
