— pretty young women flashing huge plastic red buttocks – “Your ASS isn’t covered with private health insurance” – Pat Bozeman (from Buffalo) leading all of us in chorus – “This is a rich man’s war – why is the poor man fighting?” Nonagenarians like Betty and me cold but happy – ¨and a little sad – we know this is the first one of a ¨lot more.
