I have been following Putin’s war in Ukraine, and I am amazed that he is still trying to win. There are no winning plans left. He will lose and be dethroned as leader of Russia.
He needs to stop and have peace talks.
Unless...he uses Nuclear weapons. Then it is WWIII.

I have fighting a bad hip situation. I was all set to have surgery, and now I am not so sure. I will be going to a pain control clinic in nine days to see if they can get me to a tolerance level. If they can i will not have the surgery. doctors feel that my age is a big factor.
My quality of life is my big factor.

Just finished an interview with the daughter of a WWII nurse. Some gripping thoughts there. The nurse, Velma Sundet was a hero to many soldiers during the war. She saved many lives.
I only have one other interview left. That is with a Gold Star father. I will be talking to him this week.
