So tonight....I have been watching Youtube and some CSI Miami ( I am Sooooo perdictable...) and I mostly realized that I am acraving some softshell crab sandwiches and really cold beer and The Blues, I am talking some BB King , John Lee Hooker and Billie Holiday....and Some Little Feat....it's a mood. This has been a helluva month, between the sucking economy, and the Mystery Flu ( which yes, as a nurse I have been blogging because I am seriously worried about millions without healthcare) , and the Damn Torture Issue ( which keeps me awake at night)......Sadly the Free Health Fair I was supposed to work tomorrow- that I got off work for- it has been canceled due to flu...ironic.. thousands waited for months to come and get their heart meds, and glasses and teeth pulled, and now it's gone....not going to happen.They have Nothing to look forward to now..It just makes me sad, it was the one thing that I looked forward to....that would make a difference...Damn.
.... So scroll down there is plenty below....or hell, pour yourself some bourbon and have a Listen.....I'm a helluva a DJ...

Babe you got to relax a bit...shit happens and there is not much we as individuals can do...there will be other health fairs. You're doing your part in word and deed...accept that as your portion.
Want some early rockin' blues Look up Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac.
sigh...I know what you say is true...I do...but here's the thing...( and why I am up at some hideous hout fratin')
I know but the health care fair was for thousands....planned for monthes..2000 voluneteers...it was the only health care some of these people have in years....and then, well I live in a neighborhood full of people coming to it...
I know it was right to cancel it...I mean - there are alot of immune compromised people...but it's gonna bug me...so I vent...
for me, when I look at a situation that is untenable...frustating......to KNOW that I am doing Something.....Anything....that is what keeps me hopeful ( you can see now why I worked ER,and AIDS, and Red Cross Disasters...)
At this point it frustates me so much, hell I would open a damn clinic on my own front porch...
enough...I have grumbled enough...
you are a good soul walking man....you always know when to talk down the nurse...
namaste....
( thanks for the Tunes idea...hell ANYTHING with Fleetwood Mac...I am there.....I was and AM a HUGE Fan.....always.....)
isnt Stevie doing a tour now?
Fleetwood Mac is...they were just here in Ctown.....the week of my Birthday....and no alas I did not go....they are way more than the 6 Dollars I used to spend to see them...sigh...
hey go see them if you can...they are still amazing...
I remember seeing a "health fare" it was more like a medical marathon- people drove for hundreds of miles, stood in line for more than a day to get access to a kind of "MASH" style one stop day of access-- glasses, dental ,meds, people who really needed help, but could not afford it-AND hundreds more showed up than they really could see in a day..... so I could see where you would be really disappointed- you were geared up to really help a lot of folks in need-- as opposed to some health fares that just mostly tout the services of a hospital or medical group.... this was to be a medical marathon, providing services.
I picked up on the urgency & joy of that day, but also how desperate & serious the people who lined up for help were. There was no way they could afford the services they need, and they really needed the help.
Anyway, I hope the pandemic situation gets under control, so they can make it happen.
The J.L. Hooker vid was so funny- watching the uptight white middle upper class trying to get a groove on to this blues master.... & the chef fully immersed in the soul of it all.
I heart the *landslide song*
Fran:::
yeah- ours was THAT kind with FREE care - REAL care for thousands...yes, they were expecting 1000's that is why they were having 2000 volunteer and holding it on the fairgrounds...and they had spent many many monthes gathering all the supplies and meds etc to be donated- it was medical, dental, and vision.....
( I can't remember but I think 60 Minutes had a program on it when it was in either Tennessee or Kentucky- THIS was the First one that was going to be held near an urban area ....)
E...Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac. Peter Greens original Fleetwood Mac was nothing like the more iconic evolved Fleetwood Mac...
Hey there walking man...omg...I had NEVER heard him until last night- I found four Amazing songs on youtube- and the "World keeps turning" was for sure my favorite- so I posted it up above for you....but wow..HOW did I miss him- very very talented....( he kind of reminded me of Stevie Ray Vaughan morphed with Lindsay Buckingham- a very very distinct sound....)
seriously quite a find...
No free health just when health concerns about flu are raging? Couldn't it have been done outdoors, handing out masks & hand sanitizers to everyone? well I'm sure you're right, it was the right thing to do, as long as they reschedule it for very soon.
ps, F.Mac's "English Rose" was my fave album back in the day!
it kills me to say this...but they were right- too many frail people- immune compromised...so sad...
I loved ALL Fmac...alll
