Got Jr’s paperwork and car, etc ready for his driver’s license test next Tuesday. Trying to keep up with everything since the wife and I separated. Lot of work but he will have his license hopefully on the 17th!

Had to go to the doctor this morning and he's the second doctor to say absolutely no cancer. Check again in a year! 😁👍😮 Another Chamber of Commerce Day here in NE Texas today. Had a nice 100 mile drive through the trees, fields, lakes and rolling hills. Which is probably why they are building more RV parks here. A new one is going in a quarter mile up the road. Good news indeed! A guy I work with inherited some land 50 miles outside of God forsaken Wendover Utah, and says he plans to build an RV park, he can barely afford to keep a car running to get to work, so I think his dream will go no farther than that. To open an RV park it is all about location and amenities. He thinks if he drops a trailer on the land they will come.

With the way insurance rates have risen, if I were 17 and my dad was alive he would be pointing me to a bicycle. Sure he will ace it, sounds like you are doing a bang up job as a dad… Oops… bad choice of words… just razzin you Scott, you never get razzed!😉

Lot of work but he will have his license hopefully on the 17th! Good luck. My 36 year old breaks out in hives at the thought of driving a car. It's like breathing to my wife and I. Sorry to hear about the separation. I hope there is a chance to repair the relationship. Although I've been happily married to my wife for 47 years, I have regrets about leaving my first wife without trying counciling. She just had more issues than I could handle at 25. She needed a more mature partner.

On to less serious matters, God please to keep Ed for another day here, I woke this morning with the index finger of left hand swollen with arthritis and unmovable. I mean frozen stiff. Apparently, squeezing the trigger of the Zastava M88A 42 times was more than it could handle. So, I applied Tiger Balm liberally over the entire finger. 20 minutes later, viola! Finger back to almost normal function with no pain. I recommend Tiger Balm.

This sounds serious. I can’t find his address. I know I used to have it. I’ll check the Google sheet we created when I get home and see if he put his address in it.

No address info for Ed in the Google sheet, unfortunately. Anybody got any ideas what else we can do?

Do we know his last name? I know he lives in the town of Batavia, NY. Across his street there are two old gals. I know it is a long shot but a beat cop there might have some idea. Maybe not. They may also know someone who might know more about him. It is a small town. He must be at least 87 years old now. Not that many single old widowers about. Maybe call the churches? We need his last name and I could help make calls.

I am trying one of those find anyone search services to see if his street address can be found. Then we can ask for a welfare check. I have no idea if this will work. Some of these services are bogus I have found out through experience.

I found an address and phone number for Ed. His phone is listed as 565.343.3249. Does that match what we have?
His address was reported as 30 Oak Street, Batavia NY.

I contacted the Batavia PD and they will send a car over as soon as possible. I hope the address is correct. Now, it may be tricky getting a call back because my dang blasted cell phone is finicky about return calls. So, if I do not hear back I could call again. FYI for those who want to help Batavia NY PD is 585.345.6350.

Got a call back from Officer Furia, Batavia PD. She reports neighbors were interviewed. Ed was was taken to the local hospital and is now in a nursing home. The officer could not tell me which one, she did not know and is somewhat restricted in disclosing info to non relatives. So, we can call the nursing homes in Batavia and see if they have him or will even disclose that, HIPPA strikes again! At least he is alive and being looked after.

Yes, it's sad news indeed. As you said, at least he is being cared for.
