Tonight viewing.

Appointment with one of the docs today...still losing weight (which the doc said they'd never seen someone on Prednisone do, so I'm still a medical miracle), but got taken out for some lunch and a library run after.

Just a reminder:
The corporations and government have never given a shit about you, me or any of us.
Everything we have, and what they're trying to take back, was paid for in blood.
Don't forget Blair Mountain, Paint & Cabin Creek, the Haymarket & every other time folks had to stand up and fight.

My folks at Ghost Runner had a special combining two of my most favorite things weekend: Pizza and Cuban sandwiches.
Mustard cream sauce base, mozz, house made mojo pork and pickles.
