There has been a huge,8.8,quake in Chile. This is, I think, the biggest quake I have ever heard of. also, I had no idea that Chile was so far east in longitude-always think of South as being straight down from California but I was wrong about the longitude.
My sister has said about twenty times that "it is really cloudy out". some days I can cope and then on days like this one I feel like screaming. These little warnings of dementia can sometimes drive me straight up the wall. She seems incapable of initiating conversation although she can follow along pretty well and we can have very good conversations regarding our shared childhood and stories of relatives but if left to herself we would just go over and over "it's cloudy today,sure is a beautiful day and on and on until I get up and change the focus. Well she is my sister and has no one else so I do it and Steve does it and the rest of MY family does it. Her son does nothing-oh no- he does include her on his group cell phone list.
