Health Care Reform - Maybe

What I like about the health care bill:

• No denial of coverage for preexisting conditions.
• No dropping of coverage for people who become sick.
• More people will have coverage.

What I hate about the health care bill:

• People will be forced to buy coverage from insurance companies, because there is no non-corporate or non-profit option.
• There are still people who will not get coverage.
• Other things I can't think of at the moment!

Horned Grebe at Marine Park in Tacoma

Horned Grebe

It was a gray Sunday, but a pair of very cooperative Horned Grebes led to this photo. The two were foraging fairly close together. One had started its transition to breeding plumage, this one still in winter plumage.

As I was leaving, a yellow lab drove them farther out from shore as it swam toward them. I don't know what the rules are at Marine Park, but I suspect it's not meant to be an off-leash area!
