I posted the following response at https://www.essentiahealth.org/patients-visitors/compliments-complaints/

Fitness center to Younkers
Plus - Free Parking
Minus - Walking from parking spot to building in rain or snow or on ice
Minus - No direct busses for most users
Minus - Can't go to Fitness Center before/after medical appointment

Alternatives:
University for Seniors members can use UMD facilities
Resume work-out at home (this has the advantage of being free of TV advertising fast foods)
If Mt. Royal Pines resident, use Pines equipment.
Walk the halls of Essentia

I had a dream

No, my dream was not as profound as that of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  It was much more prosaic.

I dreamt that an online prayer site was concerned that another online prayer site had move visits than it did.  I wondered what difference the number of prayers would make in obtaining the desired outcomes.

Then I thought about Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address.  I didn’t watch it but I wondered if he would end it with “God Bless America”.  But what difference would God’s Blessing make in correcting all the mistakes of government that have been and will be made by politicians, no matter the party?
