We've just about got the seeder calibrated and then mom and dad had to go for an appointment to get their Medicare supplemental insurance program. This is another ridiculous twist by our governance. Mom and dad are going to be paying a couple bucks more per month than they do now for their medication on the off chance that if they need something more expensive the insurance industry and the feds will cover it.
Man, am I a whiney gub'ment basher or what? But so much of this just seems terribly illogical to me, all so some pharma-con companies can squeeze even more blood from the turnips. I think they are just envious of the petroleum companies.
It is another gorgeous day in southern Oregon. It was quite cool last night so the air and sun haven't started to bear down yet, no skin sizzle and no eyeball congestion. I'll be going out shortly to water the greenhouse and tend to some more work in the grapes. We're a little over a week out from having irrigation in the ditch at last. Since our watering days are Thursday-Saturday it will be a while longer until we can finally get the drip systems hooked up in the rows I showed you here. We'll be planting the tomatos sooner than that so we'll have to hand water with a tank pulled by the tractor until then.
I hope your work and play fills you with happiness all day.

My dad and I have that exact same complaint about that Medicare prescription thing. He's very healthy and only takes one prescription for blood pressure. With the new plan he's paying more per month for the same thing. Sure, he'll be covered in the event that he'll need more meds in the future, but I completely agree with your assessment that it's a drug company program more than anything else.
Good luck with the corn and tomatos!
