Alzheimers disease

Today the NYTimes had a feature article begging for fed funds to find a cure for
this terrible disease. I heartily applaud this effort, but grieve again about the timing. Marge was diagnosed with Alzheimers about 5 years ago. At first, we hardly thought about it. But it has gradually got worse, and now, our daughter and me, are seeing the long slow culmination that cannot be stopped, or easily slowed down. The article firmly predicts, and I believe, that it can, and probably will, see a cure by 2020. This is a time frame that prevailed for the demise of polio and the cures for aids, flu, etc. That's great, but too slow for us.
When polio was cured. I had a friend who was probably one of it's last victims. What a tragedy for him to go thru life knowing that he was last to get the disease.
We see that happening to Marge. NO CURE AVAILABLE NOW!

lifelong question

In line with my lifelong passion for water, I crossed the gulf stream about 70 times. You learn to realize the awesome power of the stream. It never quits, and never varies much. Now I know it is very deep at it's axis but near the shore of Florida, it's maybe 600 or so feet deep. I have always wondered why you never hear of plans to build turbines on the bottom that could provide endless power
and would never quit. Anybody got an anawer?

woodstock

The picture below is the entertainer at the Woodstock festival. Has to do with
animals, but mostly birds. Debbie, our daughter, entered some pictures, and won a first prize. The picture below is of the entertainers. Real hill billy, but quite good.
