Or maybe I can just have my Beer delivered or just go fishing without Beer (OH THE HORROR)
Just inventoried my supplies and found that mice got into the boxes ... now I have to wash all the mouse piss off my supplies ... lil buggers will be dead shortly and that will be another clean-up
(I really should have paid more attention)
I’m good for many months no matter... now that it is mowing season the City will have their Code Enforcement (Cops in Trouble) folks out with their rulers so ... I have bigger fish to fry. It is an annual battle ... stupid grass doesn’t care nor does it grow at the same rate.
(I have patches of Johnson Grass that grows 3” 5 minutes after being mowed which is what gets measured)

Too late piker, Congregation done gathered up our designated drivers and went home (don’t forget to tip while you are there)
Dang it!
Take the blue pill or the red pill.
I’m going to go with the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatricians...
I’ll leave it to others to quibble around the edges.
In Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six novel the vaccine for the ebola pandemic that was ravaging the world contained a disease payload set to go off a year later ensuring everybody who was vaccinated perished.
I just heard somewhat recently the the close cousin of my former long time gf passed away from underlying conditions resulting from her childhood Polio.
I miss Rory..
From https://www.historyofvaccines.org/timeline/polio an interesting theory that, paradoxically, increases in hygiene in the early 20th century may have *increased* the incidence of paralytic polio among children, teenagers, and young adults:
“Polio reached epidemic proportions in the early 1900s in countries with relatively high standards of living, at a time when other diseases such as diphtheria, typhoid, and tuberculosis were declining. Indeed, many scientists think that advances in hygiene paradoxically led to an increased incidence of polio. The theory is that in the past, infants were exposed to polio, mainly through contaminated water supplies, at a very young age. Infants’ immune systems, aided by maternal antibodies still circulating in their blood, could quickly defeat poliovirus and then develop lasting immunity to it. However, better sanitary conditions meant that exposure to polio was delayed until later in life, on average, when a child had lost maternal protection and was also more vulnerable to the most severe form of the disease.”
Thanks for sharing.
Love your screen name!
One of the best days in my life was spent with my young son and our dog, wading down a river in Texas and seeing dinosaur tracks. Golden day.

Thanks; our lot backs up to a small, shallow river with rocky shoals. Very peaceful in these uncertain times!

It sounds nice, and is a good reminder that life is bigger than the news - and some of life’s blessings are free.
