How a heat pump transformed my Rhode Island home - The Boston Globe After relying on oil heat, switching to a heat pump cut heating bills and stopped polluting the air, writes Conservation Law Foundation Rhode Island attorney.

"Don’t let the federal push for petroleum keep you from making the switch. Heat pumps keep you warm in winter, cool in summer — and are a lot better for the planet."

(switching to a heat pump will reduce its carbon emissions by nearly 3 tons a year -oil=6 tons)

A Carrier heat pump.

No more natural gas heat for us. 😎

🧪PSA
VAERS is not a reliable source of data. Prasad (not a vaccine expert) is spreading misinformation.

Yesterday’s FDA memo claiming the COVID vaccine killed 10 children relies on unverified VAERS reports, while ignoring existing real pediatric COVID data. A sparkling example of cherry picking.

I had two cases where it was inadvertently administered into the hand of the person giving it (not self-administered). 😬

EpiPen is administered in the lateral thigh.

DFW is so big. We were sprinting through the terminals. I really didn't want to spend the night there!

Walter Dowdle, Public Health Leader in Times of Crises, Dies at 94

This is what public leadership looked like.

What a gorgeous obituary of a humble, brilliant, and principled man.

Covid-19 vaccines protect children from severe disease. Here is the evidence “Over and over again, Covid-19 has shown it can cause severe disease in children, disease that is preventable by a safe and effective vaccine,” writes former CDC Director Rochelle Walensky.

After you read the Prasad memo, read this.

Heater should always get second dinner, Kat. 😻

Rude!

What a huge difference that location makes.

A U.S. soldier was executed on the streets of the U.S. capital, yet the flags remain at full-staff.

But when a hate-peddling podcaster was killed, the flags were lowered to half-staff within hours—and stayed that way for days.

WTH?

Tonight...

That was always the pediatric location due to relative size of muscle mass.

Excellent advice. It may be the recommendation here now.

Our system doesn't specify injection site. We commonly gave it in the deltoid. In my initial training (1991) we gave it SC in the tricep!

Weather radar.

Really excellent job by American Airlines dispatchers to get us around that weather. It was gnarly. We didn't feel more than a few bumps.

Well, they routed us up near Memphis to miss the weather, got into DFW slightly ahead of schedule; my wife booked a later flight, but still a brutally tight connection in a Terminal many miles away; that flight is delayed 10 minutes and we're at the gate! We are a family of veteran travelers! 😁✈️

Weather radar.

So, ground stop at KDFW just lifted. We won't be leaving KGTR for nearly another hour AND flying around some weather. Looks like an overnighter in Dallas cuz we won't make our connection. Sadly, not our first rodeo. ✈️ 😐

Salmon flavored, I think. 🤔

CAT 6 cable? 😺😺😺😺😺😺
