dementia

I was talking to a lady who I have known for most of my life she use to run a shop and her husband was a very good electrician, he came to my parents home to fix things, I also remember he bought a CB radio from me in the 1980s, they were all the rage then, you had a handle and talked to folk on it who would usually have one in the car, It was used to america by truck drivers I think it may still be as far as I know. This man now is affected by Alzamiers disease, and his goes to see him in the a home, he does not recognise her or anyone else anymore a really sad state of affairs I guess and a very good reason to into introduce voluntary euthanasia, he is not going to 'come back' there is no miracle cure, in fact I doubt anyone is looking for such a thing he has been in this state for years and has no quality of life, there is no reason for him to live, if he went his wife might get some peace some of mind and maybe a bit of quality of life.

They are stopping another bus service around here, since the pandemic the bus services have been shit.  Now they want to make it worse by stopping a good service from Blaenau Ffestiniog to Llandudno, and it will affect other bus services which will then be cut as the seem to not be 'being used'  The cutting of bus routes only leads to more car use and then to more pavement parking so disabled people are made to stay at home but at home the pavements are cluttered with cars  and other rubbish like bins or signs. I keep on posting on social media but no one takes any interest really or if they do they won't do anything about it
