Asara B’Tishrei. The 10th Day of Tishrei. That’s tonight’s (and tomorrow’s) Hebrew Date. But, you probably are more familiar with the traditional name of the holy day- Yom Kipur. Yom Kipur marks the end of 40 days of introspection, repentance, and preparation; rearranging our lives so we can be better humans, that we can make this world a better place- with renewed vigor.

Here we go again. Not only, as I’ve reported before, has TheDonald shortened the open season for PPACA (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare), but he and his minions have been hard at work to prove that it is failing.

It’s not clear if the tractor (what one calls the “truck” that hauls the trailer) will be autonomous on the highways, only to revert to driver control on the side-streets and within cities- or there will be a leader vehicle (driven by a human), with a series of autonomous vehicles following the instructions of the lead driver.

As I wrote on the first day, when the period of self-assessment begins, we are now 30 days into the 40 day period of determining how we can make our lives- and the lives of others- better. (You can also search for Elul in the index to the left and see more of my thoughts on this “resolution-making” period.)

Holy smokes! I may have gotten a special advantage because of a life-long problem I’ve had.
A little bit of context. I was born with a compromised respiratory system. Thanks to a mom who smoked non-stop from the time she was about 16 until she was almost 50. And, she only stopped then because I informed her she wouldn’t be coming to my wedding if she smoked another cigarette.

Can you believe it? There are 600 clinics across the United States that provide stem cell treatments! Claiming they’ll fix your spinal cord break, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, and ALS, among other ailments.

You know how I feel about corporations and their commitment to shareholders, employees, and communities. Well, this is a warning how one company that’s been trying to do all the right things may be subject to a plundering.
