Well, Trump has provided enormous support to the military including private access to care, so I'd be expecting the worst. Biden hates Vets, I think he finds them scary.

Just like Obama, LOVER of the poor: Guess how many Cost of living increases happened during his 8 years in office for social security? That is correct-- Zero.

Trump And SSA? Every year in office. I did not even NEED to look it up, I saw my husband's check.

If you have a presidency that respects the economy AND the people who care and protect it you are golden,

If your disability from the military is high enough yes, you get all your treatment free. That can be good and bad, but it is GOOD to have that choice. Long may it continue.

Maybe Biden SHOULD be.

As to military disability and VA support, I think my disability percentage is high enough that the VA takes care of it.

Just food for thought: My VA classification is level 8. That's no service connected disability. I only qualify as a veteran by virtue of being a "Viet Nam ERA veteran". They seem to cover all prescriptions from my VA doc, and recently went the entire cost of cataract surgery. I did have to work through something called Triwest, which is akin to trying to talk to a customer service rep from a credit card company.

Oh, and hearing aids! That has to be service connected UNLESS your hearing so bad you cannot meaningfully participate in medical conditions. This seems to depend on your doctor's opinion.

another amazing guy I never heard of. I feel like I've been asleep for 30 years. Just call me Rip.
I learned about Roy Buchanan when a neighbor way back in the 80's gave me a warped record from him. He wanted to see If I could salvage anything from it onto tape...I managed to get all but two songs onto a cassette for him. the record was so badly warped that I had to resort to stacking some pennies onto the tonearm and taping them in place to keep the needle in the groove. I was blown away by what I heard. My records and tapes are long gone now, but I will always remember the ones that stood out to me, and Roy was a shining light. He could make a guitar cry...

The seller down in Australia sent them with the Ti.
I just started with the Naughti's a few months ago. I've found that there is just something about them and the BVC coils
that work really well together, I love em!
Where'd ya get the glass by the way?
Though I've seen a couple of web stores selling replacement tanks.

It's never too late to discover another dead musician. It can be bittersweet. But lovely.

Then, you find a decent pop artist who is cute, lovely and youthful with hopefully years to come.... And that is extremely weird, too. Like this one.



Or, long gone and so, so good.

Don't know how many times we have to say it. Want to talk politics? Take it to Outside. It belongs nowhere else in the forums.

I would go to the Outside but I fell out of favor with the denizens that inhabit that part of the ECF and have been banned from the Outside. The outside is fine so long as one toes the party line. Reading the posts there it is impossible to rationalize such a stupid decision.

I first came across Roy in the early Seventies, '72, I think, with his first self-titled album. He was, of course, a revelation.

Another guy who doesn't get enough attention:





His flatpicking runs are unbelievable.
