I don’t have a regular post this week, but I have been working on an issue that weighs heavy on my heart and is important for everyone.
I am happy it landed on the Star Tribune Opinion page. (Minneapolis- St. Paul)

Pat, I had no idea you were suffering from Lyme. I’m so sorry! I’ve heard that can be frightening, agonizing, and certainly long-lasting. You’ve done a good service here in getting to the meat of the matter. I always try to watch out for these critters, and I do my best to keep Monk out of tall grass. He’s protected by medication, but I’m on my own. Who knows what other evils climate change is unleashing on our world?
Thanks Deb. So sorry it took so long to respond. I had major website woes again. I never talked about Lyme before, but since so many people are suffering in silence, I felt I had to speak up. It has been tough, but I have learned to live with it, although still on meds, and as always I am determined to keep fighting. You and Monkey be sure be sure to tick check regularly, the tick invasion is moving southward. I think they have come up with something to prevent tick bites on dogs, and “hopefully” are working on a vaccine to protect humans. I only hate to imagine what other evils are lurking out there due to global warming.
