The bailout for 700B has been drafted and will be made public

And it includes conditions added by lawmakers.
So that is where it stands at this writing.

Today was a gloomy nasty not pretty day.
Rainy mist fell a good part of the time.

Hurricane Kyle is now brushing the coast of Maine, and caused the first hurricane watch in years in that area.

Sadly Paul Newman died Friday from his fairly short bout with cancer at age 83, and he will sorely be missed by all. I cannot get those blue eyes out of my old young thinking head and heart, wow, what a dreamboat, and a great actor. Our deepest sympathy and respects are going out to Joanne Woodward, and their four daughters.

Had a lovely surprise from my friend B. that I have mentioned many times in the past Blogs; she stopped by unexpectedly for a visit. Let me refresh your memory she had, had that major surgery, her 30th, to put rods in her body to prevent her overstressed neck, head and spine from carrying the job that they can no longer handle due to her 40 plus years of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoporosis.
She drove here herself, and now has a backup camera since she cannot turn her head while driving, and at 70 and recuperating from that surgery she has gone back to work.
As the most important volunteer commander of programs and fund raising for the Arthritis Foundation that she has been with for over 35 years.
Amazing what the human spirit can do when the desire is there and pluck, and determination!
She is my hero, and has always passed every test that the almighty has given her, or could give anyone. Anyway, I truly believe that she's passed them for all of us humans on the planet! This woman is remarkable, and that is an understatement.

Please be aware that I am not the sharpest tack in the pack, while she visited I complained about my own misfortune, mainly my weight and how I felt I looked at my fattest, and that I was not happy at all with me.
It didn’t take me too long after she left to realize that me talking about my own downfalls was a cover-up to not dwell on her horrors of her reality that I suppose I didn’t know how to handle or react to appropriately.
Not that she looked grotesque, which she definitely did not!
Her neck is broader now, and stiffer in the way she holds it; otherwise she looks still like my petite very competent friend that I have known for these entire last nearly 12 years. But she did admit she is in a tremendous amount of pain.
I guess I just felt so bad and so helpless to help her, and knew that there is nothing that I could really do and it led me to head into the wrong line of conversation. I really do hope that she forgives me and knows that I was just being my stupid self, because on occasion we all are. Me more than most though.
And she does know it, I’m sure, because she has insight and understanding for others and that is what makes her so good at what she does, teaching her self help courses and all the rest.

Good night to all and take care be well and call someone that you might have been thing of. You might be pleasantly surprised by their reaction.
