She bakes with flavours of #death. Victoria spong with arsenic buttercream. Trays of brownies washed down with builder's tea oily with antidote.
But you could still taste it? she asks, anxious by my bedside.
I nod. It's all I can manage. Nothing sweeter, I whisper - dreaming of another slice

Texas announces second death in measles outbreak

"The Texas Department of State Health Services is reporting the second measles death of a Texas resident in the ongoing outbreak centered in the state's South Plains region. The school-aged child who tested positive for measles was hospitalized in Lubbock and passed away on Thursday from what the child’s doctors described as measles pulmonary failure. The child was not vaccinated and had no reported underlying conditions."

And now
the end is near
as we face
the final curtain..

The barbarians at the gate
were invited in
that much is certain..

The carnage they will bring
can not be overstated..

Now comes the tragic irony
to our little horror story..

Seems our ruination
as a functioning nation
was self inflicted
by ignorant fools..

Hey.. It's majority rules..

The tyranny of the stupid..

But we of the now pissed minority
are not absolved of blame..

Our apathy and arrogance
to the threat we knew was there
makes our collective #death
a case of suicide by mass negligence..

So let our epitaph say
when historians sift though
the rubble ashes of the U.S.A.

We imploded our way

Estate is such a weird word.

Finally closed out our volunteer gig of dissolving a veteran's estate by handing over the last bits of paperwork to the next of kin.

The old man had just under $ 10 K debt when he died. No money beyond sixty dollars in the bank. While in hospital is residence was plundered. Nobody knows what was taken.

The fate of a poor American after a lifetime of work.
