Same with minorities who at least have the appearance of being conservatives. 

I agree.

Making progress

NASA's Voyager 1 probe is once again sending readable radio signals back to Earth after engineers fixed a computer glitch that caused the spacecraft to malfunction in November.

For the first time in five months, Voyager 1 is now transmitting usable data about the health and status of its onboard engineering systems back to our planet, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced Monday (April 22). However, engineers have yet to fix the software that enables the spacecraft to return science data.

After months of sending gibberish to NASA, Voyager 1 is finally making sense again

You probably didn’t get a class 3b for $200. That’s the power range that has shown benefits.
Class 1, 2, or 3R don’t have enough juice to do anything.

Maybe in the future we will find out how much money he paid them.

I'm more interested in learning details about the under-the-table flow of money back to Joe's son Hunter, his brother Jim, other members of his family, the various shell companies they've formed, and so forth and so on.

Seren's been having growing problems with arthritis in her knees. She's getting older, just like Dad.

The vet put her on gapentin two weeks ago, and that's been helping, but not enough. Yesterday I got a prescription for a different medication that several friends have used very successfully with their dogs, so that should be here from Chewy in a few days.

But, I also decided to look into "cold" red laser therapy devices. There's a lot of information on the use of cold laser therapy on both humans and pets, so I ordered a device from Chewy. $200, but I feel better about getting it from Chewy than getting it from Amazon.

It came last night, and after reading up on the materials, I decided to give it a test run... on me.

I did several 5 minute treatments on my knees, which have been really problematic for me over the past couple of years.

I don't know if it actually helped or if it's psychosomatic, but I'll be damned if my knees don't feel better this morning. A LOT better.

After I treated myself to make sure there weren't going to be any adverse effects, I started Seren with treatment on her left knee, which is the more problematic of the two. She wasn't particularly crazy about me touching her knee for so long, but she let me complete the treatment.

And she also seems to feel a little bit better this morning, so I'll be doing both of her knees (and mine) again this evening.

Anything to make my best girl more comfortable.
