Currently there is a concern about mass shootings but I think steps can be taken to reduce this threat without repealing the second amendment. The total elimination of all danger to soft targets can't be accomplished by taking away the rights of law abiding citizens. The emotional upset from the terrible deaths of innocent people is understandable and we should take action to insure that these types of deaths are prevented.</p> <p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">The people who belong to the NRA and similar organizations did not kill those innocent people. The current revolution style anti-gun movement seeks to demonize the NRA and any politician accepting contributions from them. This approach may backfire. It would be better if common ground could be found to prevent deaths.</p> <p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">The second amendment is relevant for today just as it was when written. Many people today are unfamiliar with personally using firearms. We live in nice safe neighborhoods and have armed police to keep the peace. Many types of large scale disaster scenarios could easily happen to sections or all of our country that might make safety in your neighborhood more questionable. It may be comforting to have your own Arms available to protect your family. The police simply do not have enough officers to go around in many disasters and the national guard may be taking care of bigger problems.</p> <p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">I agree with Thomas Jefferson who said, "I prefer dangerous

Doctors want to do tests first to locate exact problem but I strongly suspect it is another abscess which is just hard to find. I used to get abscesses every several months until I started taking biologic based meds which cleared it up but these meds eventually lose effectiveness against Crohn's over a long period of time so they switch you to a new one. Will probably need to switch to a new medication other than remicade if this is an abscess but it could be something else at this point. Usually surgery on an abscess is just a day procedure. Would appreciate your prayers for a quick resolution to this issue and a fast recovery. Thank you.</p> <p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em"> </p> <div

Check out my latest book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Glenns-Crohns-Disease-Survival-Guide-ebook/dp/B07BCQYHLG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1520765196&sr=8-4&keywords=my+life+with+crohn%27s" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Glenn's Crohn's Disease Survival Guide</a> which is live for sale on Amazon. You can download a free sample from Amazon and the entire book only costs $3.69 . This book has the details of all the free entertainment that Crohn's Disease has given me over the last 20 years and how my faith in Jesus Christ has helped me overcome that disease. It's worthwhile reading if you have a chronic disease and is good educational material for anyone. You can't go too far wrong for a price of $3.69 and I personally think it's a pretty good read even though I am biased.<br />

<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Vue" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="PlayStation Vue">Playstation Vue</a> has a free trial offer for about a month so I decided to take a look at it. We have <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cord-cutting" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Cord-cutting">cut the cord</a> on regular <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_television" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Cable television">cable TV</a> to save money and because it is mostly a waste of time. <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.cnet.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="CNET">CNET</a> gave Playstation Vue a fairly nice review and free is my type of price.<br />
<br />
I thought that over the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrestrial_television" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Terrestrial television">air TV</a> combined with the internet would be sufficient to keep everybody here entertained. It's close but no cigar. I could live without Playstation Vue or similar services such as <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sling_TV" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Sling TV">Sling</a> or <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirecTV" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="DirecTV">Direct TV</a>'s <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Streaming media">streaming service</a> because I hate to spend money on anything but there are other people to consider. Some members of my family are unable to get out of the house easily and it is unfair to restrict them to very limited viewing choices.<br />
<br />
Playstation Vue's least expensive package combined with over the air TV and the internet should provide enough viewing choices. It costs about a dollar a day if you want to continue it beyond the free trial month which is less than what it costs for cable TV. It has apps to play it on <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.roku.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Roku">Roku</a>, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CX5P8FC/ref=topnav_storetab_aftv" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Amazon Fire TV">Amazon Fire TV</a>, Playstation, Android, Cell phones, Apple, Computers and most tablets. You can have up to five streams at any one time and it includes news channels like <a class="zem_slink" href="http://twitter.com/cnn" rel="twitter" target="_blank" title="CNN">CNN</a> and FOX. <br />
<br />
Our cat likes watching it so that is a good enough recommendation for me. It has better packages and many add on channels you can pay for if you like to spend a lot of money and time <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Television">watching TV</a>. I personally mainly like to watch the live news channels at my convenience. I don't like always watching endless reruns of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walker%2C_Texas_Ranger" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Walker, Texas Ranger">Walker Texas Ranger</a> on over the air TV which my wife likes to do so Vue provides a mutually agreeable alternative. Vue costs less than going to the cinema and its more comfortable. It's difficult for me to go out to a movie at the cinema due to <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crohn%27s_disease" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Crohn's disease">Crohn's disease</a> so I prefer to watch any movie at home. Playstation Vue may be a keeper in my opinion.<br />

Home depot gave me a quote for one price that clearly said my home did NOT have a drain by the hot water tank. The crew they sent wanted an additional $350 to drain the old <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_tank" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Water tank">water tank</a> because there was no drain. That was a problem for me because I simply don't have an additional $350 dollars so we emptied the tank ourselves. <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=33.9065,-84.4872&spn=1.0,1.0&q=33.9065,-84.4872%20(The%20Home%20Depot)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="The Home Depot">Home Depot</a> needs to get its quotes right the first time instead of allowing adders for something that is clearly stated in the quote.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately we had to shut off the main water valve to the house because the old shut off valve to the hot water tank broke.<br />
<br />
The crew that did the job did it right with no fuss however Home Depot should require all their installers to have a transfer pump available for all jobs. We had to do some other minor preparation ourselves but that was a reasonable request by the installer in my opinion.<br />
<br />
I would use Home Depot services again but it is necessary to scrutinize their quotes for these types of services to be sure they do everything they agreed to do.<br />

My 20 year old <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Water heating">hot water heater</a> tank is leaking water in my drain free basement. This is uncool and required action on my part so I called <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=33.9065,-84.4872&spn=1.0,1.0&q=33.9065,-84.4872%20(The%20Home%20Depot)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="The Home Depot">Home Depot</a> to replace the old girl and get financing. Home Depot is not all bad I guess but they didn't tell the installers that I have no drains in our old house basement and the installers did not bring a transfer pump to empty the tank. Now I need to reschedule installation which is a major problem for me because my time seem to be an in demand commodity by several people and I have no time for rescheduling. Mild bummer to add to a wet basement even though its not quite the end of the world. <br />

I still have an <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Wireless-Reader-Wifi-Graphite/dp/B002Y27P3M%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzem-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB002Y27P3M" rel="amazon" target="_blank" title="Kindle Wireless Reading Device, Wi-Fi, 6" Display, Graphite - Latest Generation">Amazon Kindle</a> first generation that works just fine. It has taken unbelievable abuse from me. I have dropped it, frozen it by leaving it in the garage and stepped on it. I even still use it garage <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_%28process%29" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Reading (process)">reading</a> and for listening to the live rebroadcast on the internet of the Washington County emergency band while I am in the garage. I hook it up to some ancient <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.bose.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Bose">Bose</a> speakers and it fills my garage with police, fire and emergency internet broadcasts. Police can really have some good <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadpan" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Deadpan">dry humor</a> in their voices when they get <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Strange_Calls" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="The Strange Calls">the strange calls</a> from dispatch and I have enjoyed a few chuckles from listening. Its nice to know what is happening in real time around you. Its almost as good as having a police band scanner. In fact, its better because the price is right.<br />
<br />
I also have a better later model Kindle Fire that I use in the house for my main tablet enjoyment. Amazon Prime really adds a lot of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_content" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Free content">free content</a> to the Kindle Fires. Fortunately I got three years of Amazon Prime for free when we signed up for our cell phones long ago. Its too bad the older models I have can't be made to directly access the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Play" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Google Play">Google Play store</a> like the latest models but Amazon has a pretty good <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/appstore/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="App Store">App store</a>. The <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Underground" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Amazon Underground">Amazon Underground</a> is also a good deal because it offers a lot of actually free apps if you catch them while they are free.<br />
<br />
True story and unrelated attempt at religious humor:<br />
<br />
I was in a gas station on Center street in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=43.05,-87.95&spn=0.1,0.1&q=43.05,-87.95%20(Milwaukee)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="Milwaukee">Milwaukee</a> paying my bill to a nice middle age <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Hindu">Hindu</a> lady. Three missionaries of another religious persuasion were trying to get her to read their literature and display it in the store. They were being very pushy and were not allowing her to provide me with service by accepting my payment. I could tell they had been there for some time and they just weren't letting me pay. She winked at me and then told them them that she couldn't display their literature without reading it first. They handed her a copy to look at and she said "I am sorry but I can only read <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindi" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Hindi">Hindi</a>" then she handed it back to them. This really upset them and I heard them making phone calls as I left trying to get a Hindi translation of their magazine but it sounded like an up hill battle. That lady became one of my heroes that day.<br />

That should just about eliminate <a class="zem_slink" href="http://twitter.com/cnn" rel="twitter" target="_blank" title="CNN">CNN</a> and the other major news networks when it comes to political polls. They are untrustworthy because they have a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_politics" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Left-wing politics">left wing</a> bias and can't even be professional and accurately report on elections. Thats too bad because I often enjoyed reading their lefty nonsense for a good chuckle. The expressions on reporters faces during the election night results gave me a good belly laugh and I rarely have any fun.<br />
<br />
There is obviously Fake News on facebook. The average person should be able to figure out what is fake because it is pretty flaky. There is some fake news that is more subtle and some limited review by facebook would not necessarily be that bad of an idea. The problem is that no one will police these <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought_Police" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Thought Police">thought police</a> as they review our news. I hope that facebook will not add a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_correctness" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Political correctness">politically correct</a> slant to its news reviews but it is a powerful force with no oversight. I greatly prefer a wild west environment instead of having a thought sheriff feeding everyone some politically correct ideology. <br />
<br />
Hatred of the Trump win is not a good reason to enforce censorship of the news by someone that may have ulterior motives.<br />

I am the only person in the world that realizes that its incredibly counterproductive to announce your <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberwarfare" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Cyberwarfare">cyber war</a> in advance to your opponent? If it really is necessary to fight a cyber war, it would be far more effective to strike hard and quietly without warning. This political stunt against <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=55.75,37.6166666667&spn=0.1,0.1&q=55.75,37.6166666667%20(Russia)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="Russia">Russia</a> is asinine and may even escalate into a war in the real flesh and blood world if our leaders continue down this stupid path. Russia has pride and will not tolerate being openly humiliated by U.S. threats. The technologically dependent <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&spn=0.1,0.1&q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667%20(United%20States)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="United States">USA</a> is vulnerable to <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_language" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Russian language">Russian</a> retaliation. Our goal should have been avoiding a cyber war in the first place by keeping our mouth shut and taking counter measures as needed.<br />
<br />
<a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="WhiteHouse.gov">Obama</a> talks tough but suppose things get ugly on the brave new cyber front and Russia decides to cause a few accidents using cyber warfare. U.S. power plants, chemical industries, air traffic communication, water supply and food safety all seem very vulnerable to <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber-attack" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Cyber-attack">cyber attack</a> in my opinion. I believe Russia is capable of escalating the situation to a point that the U.S. would give anything to avoid. I do not believe that <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Putin" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Vladimir Putin">Putin</a> is intimidated by Obama's big talk. We should instead "speak softly, and carry a big stick".<br />
<br />
There is already constant low key cyber warfare between the U.S., Russia, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.9166666667,116.383333333&spn=0.1,0.1&q=39.9166666667,116.383333333%20(China)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="China">China</a> and other countries. Escalating to all out cyber warfare against Russia may not be as pretty and antiseptic as Obama is proposing in his public statements. War of any kind can be messy.<br />

I have decided to experiment and eliminate ads on this blog. The ads are mildly distracting and they will take approximately fifty years at this rate to produce an actual profit of any kind. <br />
<br />
If I ever get back to creating bottle planters with succulents, I may sell them on the blog. Anyone out there who wants to run a clean ad on this blog for a very small fee please contact me by leaving a comment. Some of the automatic ads on the blog seem a little off color to me. The blog has reached about 60,000 people and I can give you a whole blogger page with a lead in on the main page for $5 per month. Its worth a try anyways. Would pay for all my meagerly gardening supplies every year.<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas !<br />

This was Glenn's first interface with the partial pressure launch and entry suit since being named to fly aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery on the STS-95 mission.

Guess what? Trump clearly won and attempts to delegitimize his future presidency will only serve to make it obvious that the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_politics" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Left-wing politics">old left</a> wing biased news media is out of touch with the majority of voting Americans. It is no longer possible to brain wash enough people with left wing propaganda to elect an extreme progressive in every presidential election. This type of obvious manipulation will serve to keep Trump in office for a full eight years because the bulk of the voters in the USA can recognize that there is some level of collusion between the democratic party and the left leaning news media. No one likes to be manipulated and told lies.<br />

I didn't order any <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Snow">snow</a> and yet I need to spend the rest of this day trying to dig a path to the road for my car. Snow would be fine if it only fell on snowmobile trails and ski slopes but my driveway is just not the place for it. My younger son was clearing it for me in the past but he hurt his neck and back on the job so I don't want to take a chance on him aggravating it further because he needs to work. Running to the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_toilet" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Public toilet">rest room</a> every 10 minutes while shoveling/blowing snow because of Crohns is a less than ideal way to get this lovely job done.<br />
<br />
Why did I buy an electric <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryobi" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Ryobi">Ryobi</a> <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_blower" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Snow blower">snowblower</a> with a cord when I have a giant drive way you may ask? One look at my pitiful bank account provides an obvious answer. Actually the Ryobi is not as bad as you might think after you get used to it as long as you get to the snow before it gets above 10". Shoveling is the backup system. Just have to avoid a heart attack. Thank God for rock salt and halite!<br />

Let me list the reasons why I hate driving long distance:<br />
<br />
Only one of my eyes can see legally and I need a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_lens" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Corrective lens">corrective lens</a> for the good eye to make it legal. This does not improve the safety of traveling especially in bad weather. Death, severe injury and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_damage" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Property damage">property damage</a> would not be my first choice for a swell day.<br />
<br />
I have <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crohn%27s_disease" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Crohn's disease">Crohn's disease</a>. In my case, this means I have constant pain and bleeding in my posterior whenever I bounce around <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run_batted_in" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Run batted in">driving in</a> a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_insurance" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Vehicle insurance">car</a>. Even sitting still for a long period of time makes things worse. If I actually get hungry and want to eat anything, I lose control of my bowels and there is a possibility of making a mess in the car.<br />
<br />
I have better things to do with my life than driving.<br />
<br />
Gasoline costs money which I don't have.<br />
<br />
My car has over 40,000 miles on it and its only a few years old.<br />
<br />
Cars can break down or accidents can happen on lonely roads with no cell phone coverage.<br />
<br />

I could keep going but there is no purpose for continuing. I intend to rearrange my life if possible to eliminate all unnecessary driving. I am glad I never decided to be a taxi driver because that would not have been a good career choice for me or any potential passengers.<br />
