6. It would be great to see the man outlast this war on him from Washington.

People DO survive cancer now in large numbers. It's so much different from when we were kids, isn't it? We also hear news of changes and potential breakthroughs regularly, as well.

Sure glad you bounced back. You have always sounded like a very focused person, and I'll bet that has been a real asset in your return to health.

The Miami Herald is a joke for the last couple of decades or more. McClatchy's Spanish version of the Herald, El Nuevo Herald, has been caught making ridiculous image statements by magically manipulating a picture of women in Havana, showing alleged hookers calling out to tourists while standing within a few feet of two Havana cops, making it appear the government was OK with prostitution.

You will notice the shadows at the feet of the cops trail off to the left, and there are NO shadows by the women, standing only a few feet away, according to the photo.

El Nuevo is so tricky with its writing that a website was set up originally to serve as a watchdog for the public, and they ran articles on El Nuevo, informing people of how much they were distorting the truth, then pointing out the true information which gets mangled there.

It's http://progreso-weekly.com and it's a good one.
