9. Biden vs Trump

Biden reminds me of my Moms Uncle Ben. We used to stop by their place on the way home from our cabin on weekends. We'd see them Sundays as we headed back to Minneapolis. They had a little one bedroom house on a lake by Monticello MN and had a double lot with a shuffleboard court. Good memories.

Ben was sharp, walked five miles a day around the lake. Completely healthy. At 94 he had a stroke and was gone. Nice and fast, the way I hope I go. Up until 94 he read the paper daily and was totally with it mentally.

Trump on the other hand reminds me of some of the patients whose charts I'd read at the hospital I worked at. 50s and 60s, overweight, diabetes, cholesterol, other issues. Wouldn't eat well. Self destructive.

My money is on Uncle Ben.
