Hello.
I don't recall exactly where @crash moved to, so I spot checked Honolulu. There are eight plans offered and I could find an in-network retail pharmacy for each. So I'm confused as to what SHIBA suggested.
I agree that the private insurer po…
Two kinds of missiles are in hot demand on the battlefield. Interceptors, such as Patriot missiles, are designed to shoot down other missiles and drones. Offensive weapons, such as Tomahawk cruise missiles, are meant to destroy targets on the ground…
Fred Thompson. Someone to respect and admire, and from Tennessee!!! Republican, not Repugnant. Did he not serve on Sam Ervin's Watergate Committee?

Since moving here, I used SHIBA once. I was going to switch my Part D coverage. (Come to find out it's a rigged system, no matter which plan you choose.) And SHIBA offered me mail-order plans. Not happy? They told me in the cover letter to call back…
Several have mentioned the importance of a good broker. How would one go about finding a good one? I'm in Washington state if it matters.
To sign-up or switch in Medicare? Medigap? Before anything else, perhaps contact a local Senior Citizens' Cente…

[The Congress shall have Power ...] To declare War, grant Letters of…
Glad for the response. I find myself using Netflix a few nights per week and singing along to the ones I'm able to do so. Still discovering some Dead tunes I'd passed over. I'm a new-old deadhead! At age 69! Enjoying their stuff now for only the pas…
Believe it or not, there are US installations and troops in Jordan. Before my visit in 2004, I never knew. Along with Qatar and Bahrain, Jordan was attacked on Saturday because of the U.S. presence there. Jordan Armed Forces downed 49 drones, and th…
We used to vacation on The Cape when I was very young. Sorry to hear that you've had no electricity for so long! And thanks for your observations. @sma3
Bingo. Even some in the Dem. leadership (Pelosi, for one) didn't want the Epstein stuff to be made into an issue. Just let sleeping dogs lie. (That observation was made by a panelist last night on Washington Week with The Atlantic.) The old Republic…
@crash, you have a great opportunity to visit the N. M. KECK Observatory atop Maunakea in Hawaii. We have visited several observatories in the States and they are fantastic !
A friend of ours wants to return for a visit, and this time has expres…
Roberts to the Orange One: chaos and confusion from the alleged "leader," the Chief Executive, is definitely not any way to run a country.
The fact that Orange was re-elected is the final nail in the coffin. There are sufficient numbers of people …
Hey, guys. I love coming across these items. Back in my school d-a-z-e it was the STEM people I couldn't connect with, I found it difficult to like them. But I'm loving these learning opportunities.
Last night, quite by accident, there was a story …
