Make an effort and go under the morning Sun, sit upright,closed both
eyes and face the rising Sun,  in a meditation mode.

Okay, I need to rant and I'm sure that after the string about who can get
medical care and who can't...this is a good place to get it off my chest and
hopefully lower my blood pressure.
