My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.
I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.
And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

The thing that will stop me from gaining weight on this trip is that I get way too sleepy before Italian dinnertime. I've been having my big meal at lunch most days and have skipped dinner at least half the time. Tonight will be one of those nights.

The hotel doesn't start serving dinner until 8:00 p.m. but unfortunately that is probably going to be bedtime for me.

Once again blue has flagged photographs of art as "adult content" these particular paintings did not even include naughty bits. I'm afraid Bluesky moderation is a trifle prudish. @moderation.bsky.app
There was a tiny art museum on the temple grounds. Not sure if it'll be clear in the picture but the pup in the last painting was giving some serious side eye

There is a scale in my hotel room bathroom, which I'm pretty sure is illegal, but the good news is it's in kilograms so I can pretend that I am downright emaciated and need to eat more

It occurs to me that the last time I was in Italy there was a train strike in Milan that almost prevented me from catching my plane...
The moral is, if you're taking a train in Italy, leave lots and lots of time just in case

I had big plans to land in Palermo airport & take the direct train to Agrigento. Unfortunately, there is a train strike. I'm now trying to get a bus. (but of course the train company charged me for the non-existent train that isn't running so I need to decide if I want the hassle to get my $20 back)

Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”
As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

They just made it easy for me. Entrance to the cocktail party in the bar is free but you have to pay for the food & drinks 🙄. Bed it is.
I have this feeling they're going to get a lot of complaints from other guests who thought free meant something other than being allowed to go in the hotel bar

My hotel is having a free cocktail party that starts in half an hour (7:30 pm), but pathetically, I'm exhausted & I need to be up at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow (& was up at 6:00 today and put in about 12 mi of walking), so I am thinking I'll give it a miss. (My lunch was so huge, I don't need dinner.)

Jfc. He has such horrible taste. Simple dignified beauty means nothing to him. It's got to be coated with gold crap.
I feel like there should be something we can do to stop this. This belongs to all of us. It doesn't belong to Trump.
