Vitamins that show protection from Covid and flue.

On my phone and can’t provide a link.
Go to promed and search vitamins D3 and K2.

Saw the CEO of GM a few days ago on tv.

She was almost in tears about how broke the company is. We need every dime to invest in new technologies and can’t afford raises for the workers.
My first thought was, how about you returning $20 million of that $28 million you got last year and wouldn’t that $500million you spent on stock buy backs last year been better spent on new technologies?
Cry me a river.

50 years ago, time flies

September 15, 2023

51 year member of UAW and

the local that is now walking the picket line.
Lots of memories of standing on Michigan Ave, in the cold, warming up around the burn barrel. All of those car driving by giving us a honk. Some folks stopping by with a box of donuts for us. Can’t tell you how much that would raise our spirits.
I retired from my job, with a defined pension over 21 years ago.
No more retirement like I had. Still the same pay rate I had back then.
Companies have record profits this year and can afford massive stock buy backs that benefit large stock holders, like CEOs. All while the workers are stuck with 2002 compensation. How much have the prices of cars gone up in that time?

If you happen to drive by a picket line, at least honk your horn and pump a fist. Drop off some food and encouragement.

Very lucky today.

Was not going to stop at any yard sales today, but I need a guitar cord. It’s for a guitar and small amp I want to put in the booth. They are not cheap at the music store.
Stopped at one about a mile from home and noticed he had lots of drum equipment out. So I ask if he might have a cheap guitar cord.
Said he thought he might have one in the attic of the garage. Sure enough he found a bag that had 3 of them. I asked how much for all 3 and he said $15. I took them all. One to make the set, one to put away in case I need one and another one to sell for $15 in the show case.
It pays to ask.

Wife got a call from her daughter yesterday

and she had a great story about her granddaughter’s husband who was working in a small factory and got cut at work. With a work injury, a drug test is required. He flunked the cannabis part. Boss told him he had to take 2 weeks off, go to rehab and then pee clean.
He told them to forget it he is quitting.
Boss came back and said he is a really good worker, so they have now changed the policy. He can stay and use from now on.
Got to love it, change taking place.
