In a phrase = "LET ME COUNT THE WAYS"! <br /><br />** My daily home delivery of "The Financial Times" regrettably ended a few weeks ago -- as I deal with the following on interim basis: <br /><br />[a] "the goes-inna" [direct Social Security monthly deposits of sub- poverty monthly checks - while the Veterans Administration continues a 4+ years delay in processing our filed benefits claims] - with <br /><br />[b] "the goes-outta" [happily debt-free for the past three decades, living my biblical charge to 'live within means' - check!]; as well as<br /><br />[c] 'discretionary spending' which has been limited to 'Amazon.com' book buying specials with an only occasional 'Library of America' enticement for specials on some multi-volumes by John Steinbeck, James Agee & even the very well received (even today) Alexis de Tocqueville. <br /><br />** So, I shall indulge myself! ;-) <br /><br />** The limited [downtown Reno, NV] availability of food programs 'for the needy' took a hit last month, when Roman Catholic [Benedictine monastics] moved their Friars Pantry to a new location, somewhat closer to a mens' shelter - making disabled veterans access even more difficult! <br /><br />** "WE SHALL - indeed - OVER COME" this madness by "STAYING CALM and CARRYING ON" - per earlier advice during wartime of a wise royal, in the days! ;-)<br /><br />** BYE THE BYE = Best American televised 'news coverage' of the political 'silly season' here is by 'www.PBS.org' - with some new nightly "BBC World News" - aimed at North American viewers! <br /><br />** For 'gavel to gavel' Democratic Party Convention coverage -- may I recommend C-SPAN, esp. "WASHINGTON JOURNAL" which airs @ 7 a.m. [Eastern Zone] on a regular daily basis. Phone-ins start the three hours, and with three exceptional guests to follow on each telecast!<br /><br />** A little noticed on-line near real time archival record only now being 'discovered' by other cable news media is "The C-SPAN VIDEO LIBRARY" -- IT IS on-line, "free of charge" & courtesy America's cable television providers [as a blessed 'public service']! -30-DAVE PHILLIPSnoreply@blogger.com
