I couldn’t believe it!!

Years ago….

I was there, outside, heard with my own ears.

He called one of his daughters to come close to him,
And he told her….

I CANNOT STAND THIS DAMN HOSPITAL FOOD,
GO GET ME A CHEESEBURGER, SNEAK IT IN PAST THE ICU NURSE.

We were shaking our heads, but his daughter did it anyway.

He also had stated something like…. If I can’t eat what I want I might as well die.

He was quite a character, Hispanic, gun dealer, wheeler-dealer,
At one point had himself a gentleman’s ranch in Texas, maybe 180 acres,
Nice pond I’d say a 3 to 4 acre sized pond,,

Still had his flat-top haircut from his Coast Guard days.

Sadly, they did run on that in 2024 and won. Hopefully, voters will wise up by November 2026. Silent Type Jun 18 #8
