| That bogus floodwater project off Key Deer Blvd appears to be a boondoggle for the contractor. It looks like they are scraping the native soil off a few abandoned dirt roads. They have been working on the project for over a month but most days none of the heavy equipment or mountains of dirt move. Nothing happens. The only action are a couple of white pickup trucks that hang around for a while then leave. It looks like some contractor is milking the Deer Refuge big time. Isn’t there any over-site? |

According to Visory Health, the Florida company works directly with pharmacies to help shave costs, sometimes by as much as 80%, when customers use the Visory discount card at the pharmacy. Visory doesn’t require insurance. The company notes that one in five people over 65 are not taking necessary medications due to cost. In addition to Publix supermarkets, the discount card is accepted at Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Kroger, Sam’s Club and other pharmacies. Customers can get a Visory card by downloading the Visory Health App in Apple’s App Store or the Google Play Store. Link |

 The Japanese built many shelters from palm trunks in the South Pacific islands they were defending. They used a simple C-shaped staple made from bent steel rods. This crappy picture of one of these staples is taken from a tv movie screen shot with a phone. |
| [Friday Joke] Nothing’s more important than going through life with the right partner. Anytime I’m at a low point or something has gone wrong, my supportive wife is always right there by my side to console me, telling me how it would not have happened if I had listened to her. |
