Dear Dr. Abouhasira,

I apologize for delivering this letter late. I could not make up my mind on what to do. Regarding my June 13 appointment, I am canceling because I can see no reason to be examined without the blood test which I won't ever do through the women who violated both V.A. regulations and federal law when they individually in sequence refused to draw my blood. And, I related the incident in the commissary. I have offered to pay a special fee for a nurse in your office to draw the blood as well as a reason you can write on my medical records, "He is paranoid about the blood clinic."

Unless prohibited, I will continue to use the emergency room for extreme or chronic conditions. Not the best healthcare regiment, but at least I can have blood drawn by someone who has never told me, "I'm not doing him." Currently, my right leg has inflamed tendons that are distractive but not debillitating--feels like shingles without the visible spots.

I am very busy on launching Timism.com. If Timism.com generates the expected revenues, I will be shifting to a private physician with prejudice. I have always like the V.A. since my 2003 re-connection until the blood clinic incidents which I believe has tainted my treatment in other areas based on comments by other V.A. staff. If you viewed the two slideshows on global warming and re-timing physics, you should have a choice of two conclusions: I'm nuts or lucky. Soon I will find out. I have enclosed a few more.

Hope all is well with you. If you have put in a garden, I hope it is a good or better than mine. We have more strawberries, raspberries, and beans than we can eat. I have directly helped five people this year with my tiller, seedlings and old irrigation gear. In addition, I know that at least five people have stopped to say they started gardens as a result of being inspired by mine. I meet many people from all over Richmond who know my garden.

On a less positive note, a few years ago I said that I was sad about the state of our world. It is getting worse on all regards at an accelerating rate. It is one of the reasons for not wanting to pursue prostrate issues. Doesn't matter. I believe more today than ever that 90% of humanity will be dead by 2015. The rate of weather-related disasters is going to explode at a rate that will prevent any outside help. To wit, if everyone including the doctors are sick, who is going to treat the sick? The politicians are worsening the environmental problems at an accelerating rate, that is, throwing gasoline on the flames of our existential meltdown. Please keep in mind that my doomsday conclusions are not the result of failing to take my "meds." Rather, the conclusions reflect 1000's of collected articles since 1982 when I first wrote on the effects of CO2 changing precipitation patterns.

Best and cooler regards,
