   The USDA had conditionally approved a vaccine for the Avian flu, but the question remains whether or not Trump’s largest campaign donor will allow the USDA to remain open, which doesn’t seem likely. In addition, Trump has not seen fit to make use of it because of politics and trade concerns that many contend are unscientific. Even with the conditional approval, USDA must still approve its use before farmers can start to administer the vaccine because special regulations apply to H5N1 and other so-called highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses.

   In other words, don’t hold your breath.

   Did one of the lab workers tell you that? Viruses mutant as quickly as every 20 minutes. That’s a fact, so if this is a “new” virus that’s only to be expected.

   That is exactly what I said. Flu is flu, no matter who – or what.

   Yesterday I was behind a fellow who suddenly put on his brakes – I mean suddenly and turned into his driveway. I nearly ran into him. No signal, no nothing. The worst of it is that I happened to be driving past the house where we used to live, and this was our former next-door neighbor turning into his own drive. It wasn’t as if he was looking for a house number and suddenly realized he’d found it.

   No, as a matter of fact, he had a heart attack. He had Defiance Syndrome down to an art. Even a suggestion that something needed to be done meant it wouldn’t be, and if I said please don’t – he would. One time I could see he was tired, so I picked up my purse and said I’d go get the milk. He threw down the newspaper, yelled that I couldn’t stand to see him rest, and stormed out the door.

   Anyway, the girls dropped a bombshell one Saturday morning and I decided I’d had enough. Borrowed money from my parents for a deposit on at apartment and told him I was leaving. “What am I going to dooo?”

   “Just keep breathing. You’ll be fine”

   Six weeks later he was dead.

   Well, he died a natural death if anybody ever asks.

   My first husband made me account for every item on the grocery tape. (This was before the UPC scan put the names on the tape.) I’d take the money he allowed for groceries and lock my purse in the trunk so I couldn’t overspend. I still had to write it all on the tape.

   A far cry from Hubby’s insistence that "as long as you’re my wife, you are never broke.
