Brenda Downs died after a hospital put her on a ventilator in late 2021, diagnosing her with Covid. Her family asked for her to be treated with ivermectin which prompted a court battle to force the hospital to comply, as doctors there said it was a horse dewormer and inappropriate for her situation. At one point there was an agreement from the hospital to treat with ivermectin IF the family signed a nondisclosure and agreed to never publicly talk about it. Brenda's family is coming on my show tomorrow to discuss this. I know ivermectin is a controversial topic - I think bigger picture here is questioning the power hospitals should have over patient choice.

Lily wins the prize for best bed head today. In truth, she didn’t wake up like this, she was outside playing and caught a lizard. Somehow it ended up in her hair. We call this a Florida mullet.
Our neighbor made the kids a bird feeder. It’s manatee-art since we live in the “world capitol of the manatee”. Instead of hanging it for wild birds, we decided to use it for our favorite birds. A tad unconventional but great entertainment. Don’t overlook the glass of water Lily put out for the hens so they wouldn’t have to leave the table to go drink out of a bucket, which is clearly uncivilized.
Those of us who live in the country mostly prefer to avoid people, especially naked strangers. That’s for city folk. So you can imagine my surprise today upon seeing a man who resembled the form of a shaven Santa, completely nude in the gym sauna. He was changing out of his bathing suit and seemed rather shocked to see another person. He told me, “I didn’t think anyone else would be here!” I said, “Well it’s a gym.” Yes it is a country gym but this isn’t a red heat lamp in someone’s cow pasture. Long story short: keep your Christmas packages wrapped up this holiday season.
