I've had a hard and emotional day and tomorrow I have a meeting with an insurance adjuster with whom I forced a meeting by threatening things that should not be the subject of threats and going over her head with the threats. The particular company has a horrible reputation to which this case has lived down. I would have nothing to do with this crap except it's my elderly mother in law...and, anyway, I don't approve of ripping off elders because you can.
So, a bad day and a bad day coming. I don't think I can stay up for the State of the Union.
The rant below is what I have to say about it.
I do not contest that it's a rant but it flowed directly from my associations with the words "State of the Union." Call it a rant, honestly acquired, and don't bother to read it if rants offend you.
