Give Your 90 Dollars To A Good Cause

We just had a wonderful visit from our dear friend Marion who flew all the way from England to visit her old stomping grounds. And her arms were tired.

One evening by the fire, Marion mentioned that Trump the Terrifying just illegally gave everyone eligible for Medicare 90 dollars via our Social Security accounts to try to sway us to vote Republican in the upcoming election. Seventy million people in America are eligible for Medicare. 90 times 70 million comes to 6.3 billion dollars Trump stole from Medicare to bribe desperate people to vote for his fascist toadies.

“I think we should immediately give our 90 dollars to a good cause and make the contribution exactly 90 dollars,” suggested Marion.

I jumped up and went to my computer and gave my 90 dollars to Peggy Flanagan who is in a close race for the United States Senate seat in Minnesota. Marcia gave her 90 dollars to the Fort Bragg Food Bank.

We encourage you, if you’re eligible for Medicare, to give your 90 dollars to a worthy person or organization of your choice. I guarantee you’ll feel wonderful if you do.

While Marion was here, we had some delicious meals together, enjoyed lots of chocolate of the 85% cacao variety, and talked about all manner of things. On Marion’s last day here we went on a wonderful walk on the headlands south of town, the day brilliantly sunny, with endless squadrons of pelicans winging their way northward. We spotted several whale spouts far from shore, and we felt lucky to be alive with each other on this blessed earth.
