My quest to be a senior astronaut is officially over. Although I squeaked through the physical, I didn't do as well on the psychological profile.
Upon then arriving in Tallahassee, I discovered that Governor Ron pulled the plug on my plan B.
I'm on the bus and should arrive back in Allentown around noon today. I gave it my best, but I'm resigned to continue being a blogger.
above reprinted from January 25, 2024ADDENDUM NOVEMBER 25, 2024:As alluded to above, I did see some physicians on the Space Coast. This weekend I learned that one of those physicians is on his way back to Washington, this time to be head of CDC under Trump. Dr. Dave Weldon previously served in Congress for fourteen years as the Space Coast's representative. I suppose that with the HIPAA regulations he secured the Cabinet position without even mentioning that I was a patient. With the new Musk/Trump axis, I expect the Space Coast to be humming. There is an older, artsy, lower rent section on the Indian River Lagoon, where I plan to secure a small satellite office to report on the new administration. Whether or not I can obtain access to Mar-a-Lago remains to be seen.
Well it seems when we reach our age, we can all spend some time in space without leaving the ground. It is much safer.
ReplyDeleteWe’re so fortunate that Trump will be appointing so many former golf buddies and big donors to cabinet positions. Maybe we ought to start calling Mara Lago “Little Swamp.”
