The best news is that the City is continuing the belated attempt to undo the loss of Muhlenberg Hospital. If anyone in the State Judiciary or Government had any concept human welfare, there would be the opportunity to reopen a facility that could offer basic essential not esoteric care. That would include a Critical Care Unit, Cardiac Unit, Obstetrical Services as well as all diagnostic studies and Emergency Room Services as well as normal basic surgical and medical care.
But do not get your hopes up, for if either a favorable Court Decision or Administrative permission happened, it would still take 2 to 3 years minimum to make it a reality. For one thing, in the two years that have past the core body of physicians that once made Plainfield their home has been decimated and scattered.
However, Plainfield does remain embedded in the Land of Oz. While the papers daily run stories of school districts where the teachers have agreed to fore go any raises or even take a "cut", Plainfield's BOE and PEA have just signed a new contract with a rollback 4.5% increase this year and a total of 9.75% over the three years life of the contract. Since the "perks" are unknown it is difficult to judge what was negotiated. What we do know is that there will be larger classes due to reduced staffing. Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)".
So instead of grousing, I am posting some more views of Sarah's Brazil.
Those specks in the water are surfers.I may prove it tomorrow, but if you click on the picture it will be enlarged.
Another view of the shoreline and the surfers
Impressive
