Jimminy, that's hot!!
I think our hot spell must have moved to you!
Cooldown any time soon?

*****

Saw Dr Ortho yesterday. I honestly didn't expect much ... maybe he would put in for a test for X-rays and then reschedule for another visit and blah blah blah....

Turns out, the ortho dept has their own X-ray machine - who knew? - and the reason why I had to go in at stupid o'clock was to have a series of knee X-rays done. Then Dr Resident tested my knees for stability, and Dr Ortho came in, looked at my X-rays and said I had arthritis in my left knee. Asked if I was looking for a knee replacement... HECK NO!! ... and asked if I was willing to get a cortisone shot in my knee.

YEAH MAN, SHOOT ME UP!

So, that's what happened. They take a long sturdy needle and go under the kneecap. I gotta say, it felt weird, and since it was a pretty high volume my knee felt full, but now that the stuff has distributed my knee feels better and the pain is 90% gone.

And I was so sure it was a tendon problem! But seeing as arthritis gallops thru my family, and I have arthritis pretty much everywhere else, I shouldn't be surprised.

I like Dr Ortho. He answered all my questions (No, compression knee sleeves don't work. Yes, better shoes and orthotics could help. Yes, right here in the Xray is where you see arthritis.) wants the dog to keep taking me for walks, offered injections every 3 months if necessary, and even gave me his non-offuce number so he could squeeze me in for shots if I needed them.

Plus I really like his attitude of getting more "mileage" out of my knees, bc that's what I want too.

Back to being more functional!

Appeals Court Nukes Boasberg's Contempt Order In Trump Admin Deportations Case

Earlier this year, Boasberg said he found probable cause to hold the administration in contempt because it purportedly violated his orders to halt deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.

However in a 2–1 decision on Friday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit indicated that Boasberg went too far. Judge Gregory Katsas said that one of Boasberg’s orders could have been read in different ways.

... [therefore] "the government’s initial implementation of the proclamation clearly and indisputably was not criminal."

... Judge Neomi Rao described Boasberg’s decision as an “egregious” abuse of the court’s contempt power and said Boasberg had lost the authority to try and “coerce compliance” with his original order. That’s because his initial halts on the deportations had been vacated by the Supreme Court in another decision from April.

Yanno, I went thru this before. I guess the lesson didn't stick.
Statewide votes aren't the same as citywide votes, and anyone who thinks that is a dummy, incapable of either learning from explanation or figuring it out for themselves.

That's not you, THUGR, is it?

Back to using the National Guard as a police force.

National Guard can't arrest anyone, all they can do is detain someone until the appropriate authorities come in to make the arrest.

OTOH, it occurs to me ... with a heavy National Guard presence in DC, we won't be seeing any molotov cocktail-throwing ANTIFA riots there, will we?

Just plugging away a step at a time. The weather finally turned reasonable enough, for a few days, to allow some yardwork. So today and tomorrow, and maybe Monday (?) that'll be on the agenda. Nothing big, just long-delayed raking and weeding.

Yeah. I don't know about that. It was supposed to be going North of us over the lake, but then suddenly the entire NW Indiana area got blasted right in the center of it all when it shifted south-east in a direct line over us. Not sure where it went after it passed us, but NY didn't seem to be the direction it was headed. We ended up having thunderstorms for 5 straight hours when we weren't supposed to have any.

And I'm amazed. The power did not go out. A cow farts in a field and I lose my power here. It's so bad that I fully expect a power outage the second I see lightning, so I was pleasantly surprised that this is the 2nd big storm we've had where we didn't lose power in a row.

Just 1 week before the last storm, the power went out for no good gorram reason while I was on the phone with my aunt. There was no rain, no wind, no nothing. But I lost power for 4 hours with no explanation from the power company. They just do whatever they want, whenever they want.

Same thing with my sister. Any storm, rain, snow, or even a little wind- her power would go out. Sometimes for days at a time. This went on for years. And it was just her house and a few around her.

She complained up and down the line, and finally she went to one of those "we'll stand up for the little guy" TV shows, told them her story. Something happened behind the scenes, Niagara Mohawk got someone to trim ONE FRIGGIN' BRANCH and she hasn't had an outage since.

Wow, I really hit a nerve, didn't I? I can see how much your feelings were hurt by how big of a dick you're willing to be.
Well, I can delete that part of my signature (still funny, BTW!! ) but we'll still remember that you were willing to troll BRENDA ... BRENDA for god's sake! With whom you had pleasant ongoing conversations ... because your pride got bruised.
Jeez. Lighten up.

How's the week looking weatherwise?
Anything up on the agenda?

As usual, I didn't get done as much as I had planned today. I skinned and cut a chicken into parts (wings, drums, breasts) and divided it up for refreezing, and trimmed a big chuck roast (cut out fat and gristle) and divided it up for refreezing, and dear daughter cleaned 2 lbs of 'shrooms (on sale) for slicing and cooking for freezing. It'll save me a lot if time in future, but it sure took a long time today!

So for the rest of the day I'm going thru the mail, plus I owe my sister an email attachment, like yesterday.

Tomorrow hubby has a regular appt with his spine surgeon and dear daughter is heading out to gym with her supported exercise group, and after that he'staking her grocery shopping, so I should be able to make some really important phone calls on tax matters. It's a very complicated problem and I hope I can find someone to help me figure it out bc the whole issue makes me nervous for the future.

The next 7 (8?) days are expected to be 32-35C (90-95F) so it's gonna be indoor work again, and we're going to be eating a lot of salads... salads and burgers, salads and microwave enchiladas, salad and ham steak ... not much cooking planned.

Well, back to the rest of the day.
