As I was out mowing the lawn, by hand, without a tractor or self-propelled mower, I noted several neighbors--on tractors--also cutting their grass. Now, all of them are considerably younger than I. And, other neighbors have hired landscapers to mow. All fine and dandy with me.
What upsets me is that, now with ObamaCare, I have to help pay their health insurance. They don't have to do anything, don't have to make any steps to staying healthy, yet, if they, as inevitably will happen, fall ill, who pays? I wouldn't mind, I guess, if they at least weren't so lethargic, did take steps to improve their health, etc. But, in my neighborhood, two of us mow the lawn my hand. All others, all of them, either have services or tractors.

About Me
- Ron Marinucci
- I have been married to Karen for 47 of my 73 years. I have two sons, Mike and Matt, both adults (at least in chronological age), and three grandchildren. I am retired, I suppose. I continue to teach college history, part-time; I still enjoy it, although the increasing amount of silly paperwork is grating and will likely be what drives me to fully retire. I have a BA in history from Amherst College and three graduate degrees. I do a little writing, too, some of which actually brings in some money.
