Today being the twentieth anniversary of a day of infamy, when our country was attacked, my mind has been concentrating on where I was and what I was doing at that time. 

I was at work at VA Lakeside Medical Center in downtown Chicago taking care of veterans sent to me for testing.  I distinctly remember one patient was waiting outside my l…[Read more]

THIS JUST CAME IN FROM ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS 

Last night we went to see “Hotel California “ at the M Casino. The parking lots were full . We ended up near the end of the lot. After returning for the 1 1|2 hour show we found the drivers side window smashed open. It’s double glass laminate so it’s not the easiest thing to do. They probably then rea…[Read more]

I would like to send condolences to Dan Roberts and his family on the death of their mother.  May she rest in peace.

If you have either already received your first shot of Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, there are two things to be aware of.

1.  Be sure that you have the vaccine placed in your non-dominant arm.  That would be if you are right handed, have the vaccine injected in your left arm or the reverse if you are left arm dominant.

Sun City Anthem is in the process to have cracks repaired in the streets.  Several homeowners have commented that the signs placed on garage doors announcing these repairs are still up and have not been removed.  That is in essence saying that the homeowner is not  physically there and may be out of town.  It is also a blatant sign to pot…[Read more]

This comes from Dr. Patrick Teefy, Cardiology Head at the

2. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated.

3.  Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest t…[Read more]

Too many chiefs, and not enough Indians Small to large in stature, of all homo-sapiens.  Who will be the leader, who speaks for many, Or whose self-interest, speaks for few, if anything. Who will be in charge, of well-intentioned power, Or lives for the moment, of their own finest hour.

No self-imposed leader of one, or greater multitude, Can…[Read more]

Have you ever felt that some rule or law was just not fair? Have you ever heard it said that ignorance of the law is no excuse? How many think they are smart enough to be president of the United States? Do you think you are above working on a garbage truck? If the answer to all these questions is yes, then you are like most people who feel that…[Read more]

FROM RICHARD ARENDT

Some things have to be said.

After receiving The Spirit magazine, I received a number of calls regarding an article included in the latest published issue.

It was so insulting that a number of Sun City Anthem residents asked that a fitting response be published by myself.

Though it’s my desire to sharply curtail…[Read more]

A Professor of Pharmacy at the University of Toronto sent this clearly worded update to his family. For this pandemic, there’s a greater chance of survival for those getting infected 3 months later like June 2020 than those who got infected 3 months earlier, say February 2020. The reason for this is that Doctors and scientists know more about…[Read more]

This first video regarding a gorilla who is a primate, has a valuable lesson for humans.  Unfortunately, many have yet to learn this lesson.  Just as one species can interact lovingly with another species, it is O.K. to react to others who live their lives differently than you do as long as they do not harm you, endanger you or insist that their o…[Read more]

This past Sunday, while picking up a copy of the Review Journal, I also glanced at the headline on the US Today paper.  I did a double-take because the headline read as follows:  VA Endangers Patients by Hiring Doctors With Troubled Pasts.  All the red flags went up in my mind for several reasons.  I had been discussing this very subject with thr…[Read more]
