Damn Vegans, Damn Student Loan, Damn Weather

 So, I was ugly to a person the other day about people being vegans.

My son is now a vegan. 

Yes, the grandson of a cattleman is a vegan. 

No, it's not what you think. As many of of you know, Reid has the auto-immune illness HSP, and it effected his kidneys. Trouble is, he got it when he was a senior a Lamar. Children can get it and there is a good chance there are no lasting effects. ( Right now, a former student of mine's child has HSP and is in the hospital in Houston.)

No, Dr Zhou( His father-in-law) and his kidney specialist have both suggested a non-meat diet. Just too hard on the kidneys to process. 

And it's had good results, his kidney function is up 10 points. 

Well, sort of vegan, sort of a person, who practices a moderated Pescetarianism. ( Be glad you're graduated, I'd make you learn this now during the Isms lessons.)

Pescetarianism of course is adding fish/seafood to your diet and they're not hard on kidneys once a week.

This goes under, you never know what you will think is okay someday....

Student Loans-

I am all over the place on this one. 

I doubt my "kids" will qualify for the $10,000 forgiveness. 

And if I had gone to college now, well, I couldn't afford it, and truthfully, because Reid had a walk, we wouldn't have been able to afford college without loans. Grad school is where their debt comes in....

And I am just mind blown at the cost of college in 2022......I think the most I ever spent on college was $250 one semester. But that was in 1979. 

Trouble is this......This country is already short teachers. How are people, or why are people going to school to become teachers with the low pay? Hell, I know there is no way I could teach in the style I did today. 

On the other side of the coin, someone has to pay for this......I don't know, T-Bonds, T-Notes look more interesting with the market/cryptocurrency the way it has been.  

-Finally, pray hard. 

Ain't been nothing " blow up" in the Gulf of Mexico. Let's keep it that way.
