GWDF2 D15H11 Extensive Pain, Elections, and Dr. Brown Convolutions Slow Down

The 9 day escape from hours per day of abdominal pain has ended.  Thank goodness for the new meds, but their effect was temporary.  Evaluation for tests is October 11 at which point they become scheduled. 

The pain for hours per day makes work difficult, and at times, dozing is all I can manage.

Also, Dr. Lester Brown's Plan B 3.0 is to locked in, what, infotainment?  Self-aggrandizement?  Puffery?  Unraveling it for the Actionable Essentials is insanely slow, and maybe impossible.

I may be forced to jump over #4 to #5 - Dr. Joe Romm, Actionable Essentials, and that may provide enough of a framework to come back to #4.

Pr. Obama summarizes American History: "you can't change Washington from the inside."

Pr. Obama summarizes American History of change: "you can't change Washington from the inside."

President Obama appeared on Univision today.  More:

""That’s how I got elected, and that’s how the big accomplishments like health care got done, was because we mobilized the American people to speak out. That’s how we were able to cut taxes for middle class families. So something that I’d really like to concentrate on in my second term is being in a much more constant conversation with the American people so that they can put pressure on Congress to help move some of these issues forward." This isn't at odds with the 2008 message; it's the whole point behind "yes we can.""
