So, off I go to the Senior Center to see which Part D plan is the current "best
deal". And I have to make an appointment to get a simple question answered.
Things were a lot simpler there when it was all volunteers and funded through
donations. Now the Illinois Department on Aging has gotten involved and
introduced bureaucracy and regimentation .... FEH!!!  The problem is that they
are the only game in town and they know it --- unless one wants to take even
bigger bureaucracies (Insurance companies, Feral gummint, etc.) on ones own.
Which is a non-starter with me.

Don't see eel around here. The next time I find it on a menu or in a seafood
department in this area will be the first. Although the recipes look good.
