Blood And Oranges   I’m starting to see Seville Oranges in stores; February is the month! Unlike most other fruits, they are not available year round. Get ‘em while you can! If you Google them, you’ll mostly find marmalade recipes. That’s because they make the best marmalade, their bitter flavor marries perfectly with the sugar for nearly Oriental contrast. They might also be called “blood oranges” for the ruby colored flesh, maybe not, I’m no expert on oranges (yes, I could look it up). They’re expensive, but so is the best of everything.   I talked to Liz over on UK-land. She’s been to a couple of pubs (one features300 year old pews in a back room) and had some pub food, including fish and chips. The health care system over there really sucks and it’s probably a model for what ours will be like in about 10 years.   She was given an ETA of 48 hours to refill her Mum's prescription that consisted of precisely 3 words because it “would have to be rewritten.” I believe the rational is that care delayed is care that just might be denied. Extending time increases the possibility that the patient may just give up or, better still, give up the ghost - thereby saving money for “the plan.” This exploits a convenient loophole in the tenet  “First do no harm” which applies only to physicians, not bureaucrats and elected politicians.   For the latter in particular, the obverse “Do harm first, then do it again” makes them more “electable” because taxpayers/voters experience ghoulish pleasure in pain and demise as long as it’s not their own – even though it will be, eventually. 6:10:09 PM    comment []
