Red Flag 2019

The annoying beeping of a vehicle back-up alarm broke the silence at 2am this morning, which is unusual. In the locale of the “old folks home” in Waikiki, the beeping noise pollution commences at 6:30am at the earliest by the usual suspects, garbage trucks. A quick glance out the window of the mausoleum revealed two police vehicles in the parking lot. The beeping was most likely emanating from an ambulance parked out of view. The absence of sirens could only lead to one conclusion, another death at the “old folks home.” Voices were heard in the newer building, so the incident must have occurred there. The “old folks home,” as stated previously, is either the last stopover before matriculation into an assisted care facility, or the final stop.

On a side note, moms has indicated that she has lost five pounds recently, bringing her overall weight down to just 63 pounds.

The sister-in-law has purchased some of those questionable geriatric diet supplement beverages (read: nutrition shakes) for moms. As moms turns 97 years of age in a couple of weeks, there will be more geriatric maladies coming.
