Ivan... haven't ya ever heard that old maxim, "When the going gets tough, the tough go electioneering? (oh well.. it's something like that). <grin> Seriously, it seems - from all I've been reading in the newspapers and and hearing on the nightly news - that both houses of the US government have pretty much cleared outta Washington, DC, and split for their respective home-states in order to do some high profile electioneering amongst their constituents. I betcha those same politicians aren't talking up the Udall Bill in their in those home-states, either! They just do NOT seem to understand what it's like to face a chronic degenerative neurological disease each day of one's life! Nor, apparently, do they REALLY care!
