Colorado의 가을 Wednesday, October 02, 2013 On a very nice day in autumn, we went hiking at Brainard National Recreation Area. At the entrance of the Brainard, the road was completely blocked with a big sign of "Closed". It didn't say why. Even the public bathrooms at the trailhead was solidly locked. In the middle of the week on Wednesday, was it possible to have the National Recreation Area closed? The Republicans wanted to hold the start of Obamacare and Obama wanted no part of it. So, there was no debt-ceiling extention, resulting Federal government shutdown. And, there, we were standing outside the "Closed" sign at the entrance. The Republicans have closed entire national park system in order to gain their political ambitions. Hey, they done own the beautiful nature in US that belongs to it's people. Obamacare system had been passed according to the perfectly legal pathway already. Now the Republicans took hostage of National debt-ceiling for their bargain chip to ignore and discredit Obama's signature domestic achievement — the Affordable Care Act. As having been a practicing physician myself, I am all for the Obamacare. As a converted democrat, I am for Obama. I hope our president does not offer any concessions in exchange for leaving or weakening the "Obamacare." I hope Obama administration hold the line and don't yield an inch of ground to Republicans. They may close the Brainard Recreation Area for cars...

터키에 학회로 간 딸에게서 온 10월 1일 편지:
"Hi Mom! Well the government shut down. I guess that means the US Embassy people will not be accompanying me for the time being. It's too bad, but I'm sure I will be fine. The professors at the university here will be taking care of me, so I won't be alone."
모든것이 언제나 정상으로 돌아 오려는지,
