Monday Edition for 10/12/2020 - Local/National News

Wayne Martin - My deepest condolences to you on the loss of your many friends. In addition to "more research and progress," we need more people like good old Jerry Lewis for muscular dystrophy and Danny Thomas for St. Jude. Both Jerry and Danny were Saints on earth! Those were the days when the money was never scammed or people cheated. People could donate by money or check and to my knowledge identity theft did not exist. Most of all, that money was used for all the right reasons and many lives were and will continue to be saved. 

Michael Jacobs - When you think about it, now that people started living longer, many have spent more years fighting diseases or being sick than when they were children. Sadly, the opportunity to live out ones golden years on sufficient income and good health doesn't exist. Even worse, when a disease progresses and there is no cure a gauntlet of challenges, obstacles, and even humiliation transpires over time. I can't think of one person who wants to be a burden on others. 

Kat Palmiotti - The bagpiper played well! I was so thankful I happened to be at the right place when he began to play and end. It's such a unique sound. It's not often I hear bagpipers play in person. 

Is it just me, or do you think there is a higher demand to find a cure for more diseases today than when we were children and/or young adults? 

Roy Kelley - I hope you get to see and feel the sunshine soon! Stay healthy and be safe. 

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 - You are both so friendly and nice to me. I appreciate how you treat people and how talented you are in marketing using video. Your knowledge and expertise in Long Island, NY compares to none that I know in your area!

Will Hamm - Your compliment means a lot to me. I enjoy my career and writing too. Although on AR I'm no super star, I am grateful for the members like you who treat me with respect. Plus, I love your honesty. 

Rocky Dickerson - I discovered very quickly that you're like a rock on ActiveRain - solid, dependable, and sincere. Plus, I like your writing style too.

Thank you!

Brian England - You would really enjoy some quiet time inside the Chapel. The architect who built it also build another one in Arkansas. Both are very similar in design but the one in Arkansas is more private surrounded by trees in a wooded area. Both are very peaceful. 

Thanks for your compliment about my photograph. I just love taking photographs. In order to take photos of the moon and the planets, I would need a telescope and a smart phone. In case Trish would like to know, the link I included in paragraph 2 would be very helpful.

Besides my smart phone I rely heavily on the other two 35mm cameras I have, Nikon + telescopic lens and Canon + telescopic lens. . 

George Souto - Here's the link for seeing the sky tonight in CT:

Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR - My deepest condolences to your family for the passing of your son's mother-in-law. I wish someone could explain why so many people in their 70-80's get Alzheimer's. Did it have something to do with the war? Building Technology? Chemicals? Hazardous materials? Water from their generation? I experienced my Aunt going through it when she lived alone and it was very painful to witness the progression and how quickly life fades.

I think if the vast majority of people would admit it, they would all same the same thing about T.V. I get tired of changing channels. It's always the same thing, not interesting, not funny, not entertaining, not education. It's just offensive and a bunch of lies. The news media is unreliable but that's because there's only one channel that I know of in DFW that isn't controlled by billionaires that control the news. For reliable news, I watch OneAmerica News. 

Thank you, so much for agreeing with Rocky. I greatly appreciate it and you too!
