Palin Factor?

Today another Republican is giving up his political term early, fifteen months early it is, Senator Mel Martinez, from our district.
A fine gentleman who helped my husband acquire his rightful disability insurance, and had also been working on my behalf.
He said he wants; now déjà vu is kicking in again (Could it be the Palin factor?), to spend more time with his family and to work in the private sector!

The dilemma here is an oddity since our Governor Crist will be running for this vacated senatorial seat at the end of what would have been Senator Mel Martinez’s term. The problem is that now our Governor Crist must appoint a temporary senator to continue until the term ends, but he cannot appoint himself. I do believe that he might call in Bob Martinez (no relation) our former governor in 1987-1991 to replace and hold the seat hopefully for himself when he can legitimately run and possibly win that seat. Well, stay tuned folks it may become interesting enough to become a national news byte. (And it did)
We seem to monopolize much of the national blurbs these days anyway.

I told you so! They passed the 2B for the Cash for Clunkers, and you were worried!

The rain finally came and it is still here as I write tonight.
It’s been scary and violent with much thunder and lightening and even a power surge that shut down the TV and this computer as well as the microwave clock. Be careful what you wish for comes to mind.

We tracked down my mother-in–law again, she has now been put into a rehab facility for two weeks to help her with her balance and who knows what else since we initially were told that she has nothing wrong with her? So let me get this right…she has great insurance?

Hers is so good that the facility wants to relieve her insurance company of some of their premiums?

Again it was me that found her for my husband. We had been calling her home and not hearing back. Finally, I tried my sister-in-law… dares I say and got our youngest nephew, a 23 year old, after his mom hung up the first time (supposedly she is away on vacation, then who hung up?). He was quite forthcoming with all the information, and again insisted that his grandmother was just fine.
Apparently the hospital requested her presence for a few days again and then recommended the rehab facility.
I’m confused if she is fine why all this fuss?

Oh well, we now know how she is… yep you got it, just fine and will be going home the end of next week.

Good night to all and please be safe and count those blessings and I will too!
