Monday Afternoon Open Thread

By Jeralyn

Here's an open thread for topics unrelated to the auto industry.

The nursing home killings in North Carolina are so sad. So are the stories of some of the residents:

[Jesse] Musser had lived at Pinelake for only six weeks, said his son-in-law, Jim Foster, 47, of Aberdeen. He said the man had Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and was blind, deaf and confined to a wheelchair. Foster said the family was now trying to figure out how to tell Musser's wife, who has dementia and lives at the same facility, that her husband is dead.

"She was upset that they didn't bring him to see her yesterday," Foster said. "I don't know how we're going to break it to her. You got a clue?"
