 Talk to legislators, defeat restaurant tax

 I can’t believe Homer Trumbo is gone.

I remember Homer would always go to Illinois every year with the Kentucky Railsplitters.

When he and Ruby lived on Lincoln Boulevard, he would always have the house and yard decorated for Christmas. He would always call me at the store to see how the sick in the Roanoke community were doing.

He always had a story to tell each time he talked to you – whether it was true was a different thing. He will be missed by all.

 Racism, the socialistic idea that one individual born of a different ethnicity is less equal than that of the “white man.” What is our version of racism?

It varies from one individual perspective to the other.

One man may see racism as an opportunity to point out differences of another individual who may not have the same color skin. Other men see it as ajust another word thrown out and used to crucify the common man.

Personally, I think the word should not exist.

 In coming weeks, Congress will consider Medicare physician payment in legislation that could determine whether many family physicians can remain in business.
