This is going to be very short for obvious reasons. I’m asking Grunt,Mindful,CtH and BoB to take the reins for posting links today.
I got up yesterday at 12:30 am, like every day, and my beloved child bride was laying on her bed,gasping for air and clutching her chest. She insisted on getting dressed and having me take her to the hospital insyead of calling an ambulance. At the ER they tried to stabilize her blood pressure and her heart rate was about 92 beats per minute. They did a number of tests,took x-rays,EKGs and drew about 1/2 gallon of blood. She was admitted and they did a few more tests,but the chief cardiologist was off yesterday so he’ll have to determine today if he needs a stress test or some type of scan. We’re hoping its atrial fibrillation,which can be managed in most cases with blood thinners rather than surgery. Only time will tell. I have to get a few hours sleep before I head back up to the hospital since my apnea almost did me in staying up from midnight Saturday until last night. She turned 65 12 days ago,so she has medicare, but I just pray it’s nothing too serious. I cannot imagine being without her.
I’ll try to post a couple threads,but my computer is really loading slowly.

Rally Attendees Leave Event After Obama Began Speaking
The thrill is gone
Many attendees of an Obama campaign rally headed for the exits shortly after the president began speaking Sunday evening.
Speaking at campaign rally in Maryland for Democratic candidate for governor Anthony Brown, Obama either ignored or didn’t notice the movement of attendees out of the event.

“I Won’t Say I Voted for Obama” virus seems to be spreading faster than that other one
The first outbreak was in Kentucky. Then, through some transmission mechanism which remains unidentified, it spread to Georgia. Now, despite the best Democrat efforts to establish some sort of quarantine or containment, the affliction seems to have made the jump to the Mountain State. West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant can’t seem to choke out the name of the person she voted for in the last two presidential elections.

Ted Cruz Schools Candy Crowley on Travel Ban From Hot Zone Ebola Countries
Candy Crowley should always be prepared to be schooled on her liberal assumptions whenever Senator Ted Cruz is a guest on her State of the Union show as happened today when Crowley parroted the administration line that a travel ban from the Ebola Hot Zone nations of West Africa was both unnecessary as well as harmful. Watch how

Cruz’s patient and excellent answers kept me going through a good part of this clip, but Crowly just got more and more annoying, until I hit a point where she sounded like, seemed to be doing, exactly what she did when she interrupted Romney in the debate. I stopped watching.
I’m thinking of editing the clip to just Cruz’s answers, then maybe it would be watchable.

Nation’s #1 rat-infested city, Chicago, not even counting the Democrats. (Although the pic of the Mayor on Breitbart looks pretty rat-like.)
When we lived in Chicago, I visited neighborhoods where you’d see rats, but our neighborhood wasn’t ratty. Living by the lake shore with its corridor for wandering wildlife could be interesting, though.
One day, our little daughter ran in, saying she’d seen a rat in the back yard, “this big” (hands more than a foot apart). When I asked if that included the tail, her hands went twice as wide. The janitor confirmed there was an opossum that had taken up residence under a stairway across the street.
One day I watched what I thought was a huge cat walk into the street, and sit up on its back haunches and look at me… with its shining eyes in its little bandit mask. Yup, a raccoon.
One day we had a squirrel get in the house. He kept flying at and smashing into the windows — all except the one I’d opened for his escape. He finally hit the exit, and, we’re a half-flight up from the ground, the little guy just sailed out into space like Rocky. Wheeeeee.
For the bat, at least we had a butterfly net.
But no rats.

You are both in my prayers, Pete. Check back when you can and keep us posted. I know that hospital waiting is almost as tough for the family as it is for the patient. I just spent 17 days of it, and still have my Mom home with me while she recuperates. Take care of yourself as much as you can – when you get her back home it is just as hard. I haven’t been able to comment much for the past month, but I have been reading as much as I can. My very best to both of you.

You and Mrs. Pete are in our prayers. My husband ended up in the cardiac care unit with atrial fibrillation last year, so I know how scary it can be. But they got the problem corrected without surgery, thank heaven. He’s a few years older than you and me and Mrs. Pete, but he’s doing really well. He still works full time, although I hope once he gets his current projects finished, he’ll start working less. We’re empty nesters now and we could get by just fine with him working twenty hours a week. He doesn’t want to retire completely because he’s afraid if he did his brain would turn into tapioca, but I think working twenty hours a week would be sufficient to prevent that from happening. 🙂
