I’m about to leave for my appointment with my pulmonologist. It’s routine, and I already know the CAT Scan was favorable. The CAT knows!! 
Thursday is probably my last prison-volunteer day until October. Then, after Memorial Day, medical mayhem kicks in again. Hugs!!

Cartoon: "Himmler was searched and two cyanide phials were found on him and removed. It is said that as an Army doctor was about to give Himmler a more thorough examination, he bit on a cyanide capsule embedded in one of his teeth and died as a result." good read btw: @historylearningsite.co.uk
Best to you, Tom as you leave for your appointment. Safe travels too!! Take good care.
oops…here's the link for those who want to read this:

Thanks for that link, something we never have been told in our history classes.
Thanks Pat.
A very much not Himmel death worthy of attention:

This was a fascinating read. For him to go up to Muslims and apologize for the actions of the GOP must have been a hard pill for him to swallow!
Thanks for the link, jla!
Thank you for the link. Wish we had more like him, that we could once again have a bi partisan Congress instead of one full of obstructionists.
Bob Bennett seamed to have been a man with integrity who lived by the principles he stood for. His ousting by a Tea Partier from the Senate in 2010 and his demise now is a great loss to the GOP as he took much of the last bit of decency in that party with him. Thanks for the link JL
Wonderful link, JL, Great catch!!
6:12 (5:16) Obviously, the car may be racing, but I wasn't.
Have a good appointment, and – keep breathing!
Pat, your link kind of makes me angry with Churchill, although since the details are so doubtful, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
JL, your link makes me weep that – if even in these days, the Republicans could find a person of integrity among them of they looked hard enough – they have chosen not to.
Cartoon: No great loss there!
I hope your "medical mayhem" comes out OK! Sounds freaky to me! I hate medical appointments! Those are the worst kind!
Thank you, JL for link.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Bennett. You brought awareness to all of us. Condolences to his family & community.
Yes, Judi, good link. I guess it was Goebbels, and his wife, who killed their children, at the end, and then double suicided. Himmler, like the rest of the pigs that were attacted to Hitler, is like Chris Christie, and Dr.Ben, kissing up to Herr Drumpf!
Your using "pig" to refer to Himmler et al reminds me that both Jews and Muslims are forbidden to touch pigs – and Christians would be too if we would read the whole book of Leviticus and not just the parts that forbid things we – well, some of us – find "icky."
Sending you good thoughts!
Puzzle — 3:16 Finally my motor is revving and starting to pick up speed.
Cartoon — No great loss to the humanrace!
I am sure that everything will go well with the pulmonologist . . . after all, you had the CAT scan which was good.
I hope your appointment went well, TomCat. You expected no surprises as the CAT scan showed nothing but the usual, but I hope they didn't make you wait long for your transport or in the hospital. With this visit out of the way you can prepare yourself for your operations.
Thanks all, Hugs!!
