I'm going to miss Iris.  She is the nice masseuse at the Oncology Center in Salida.  She has given three massages and each time I feel so much better.  It's not just when I leave that I feel better but for days afterwards I'm better. 

I weighed myself yesterday on the same scale that I've been using at the Infusion Center and I maintained my weight.  I would still like to put on more weight but at least I didn't lose any.

Today Carolyn and I are going to try and finish our packing.  No we will finish our packing of the truck so we can leave right after I empty the tanks and winterize the RV on Friday morning.  We hate to leave here but with doctor appointments coming up we must.

To all of you that hate President Trump because he calls people names and uses words that you don't think he should read the following.  Words from your messiah that you worshiped for 8 years.  

..... despite saying “we won’t win people over by calling them names,” Obama proceeded to call his political opponents names.

Republicans are “politicians who have no compunction and no shame about tapping into America’s dark history of racial and ethnic and religious division,” President Obama said.  They are “bigots and fear-mongers” and “demagogues” who “promise simple fixes to complex problems.” As for the Republican agenda, “it’s not conservative. … It’s radical.”

Obama questioned the motives of those on the other side of the aisle. He said that if you don’t stand with him, then it was because you are part of “the powerful and the privileged who want to keep us divided and keep us angry and keep us cynical because that helps them … keep their power and their privilege.”

Those who oppose higher taxes and redistribution of income do so because they are “at the top of the economic pyramid” and want “to skew things even more in their direction,” the former president said.

President Obama also just plain made stuff up, for example attacking the Republican Congress for having “championed the unwinding of campaign finance laws” and “systematically attacked voting rights.” Just what the heck is he talking about?

In his University of Illinois remarks, President Obama also couldn’t escape his tendency to be sanctimonious. For example, the man who in 2016 dealt with Russian election meddling by sharing stern words with Vladimir Putin in private at an international meeting now castigates Republicans for “cozying up to Russia.”

This comes after Republicans in Congress led bipartisan efforts to pass new Russian sanctions in 2017, and after the Trump administration has slapped several rounds of sanctions on dozens of Russians – the most recent in August – and indicted the Russian spies who led the election meddling. 

Some of Obama’s remarks came across as tone-deaf or even hypocritical, as when he said – after all his punishing attacks against Republicans across-the-board – that “we have to bring people together, not tear them apart.”
