Started reading The Dark Tower series back on 9/9. My 3rd time round on this incredible story. Just finished book 7 Song of Susannah.
One book left. Excited but also not ready to leave Roland’s worlds. 845 pages to go!

Not an Iggles fan, but do want to point out that they beat both the refs and the Chiefs handily. Well done

So glad Josie is not a morning person, either. Or I guess morning pup.

My dad wrote a book about Rush. I can't read, but they tell me its good. #Rushisaband #Rush #prog-rock #RushFAQ

So project 2025 is underway? Fuuuuuuuck.

On page 597 of book 6 (of 8) of Stephen King’s Dark Tower magnum opus, I stopped to smell the pages. It was sublime.

In today’s edition of There’s a Rush Lyric for Everything:

“We can go from boom to bust
From dreams to a bowl of dust
We can fall from rockets' red glare
Down to ‘Brother, can you spare...’
Another war, another wasteland
And another lost generation.”

James Harvey III, Tuskegee airman, leader of the team that won the US military's first aerial gunnery competition for combat aviators. AKA, Top Gun. James Harvey is a handsome Black man in WW2 uniform with an indomitableble look of calm confidence.

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:

In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."

The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.

So they refused to announce a winner🤡

Sandwiches being delivered to essential farm workers in Santa Cruz County.

Sandwiches being distributed to essential farm workers in Santa Cruz County.

Greg Wimp, owner of Togos locations in Scotts Valley, Santa Cruz, and Watsonville has hand-delivered sandwiches to hundreds of essential farm workers. “I’ve connected with people at a time when they were really vulnerable, and I was able to do so with something as simple as sharing a sandwich.”

The Myth of Drug Expiration Dates Hospitals and pharmacies are required to toss expired drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the FDA has long known that many remain safe and potent for years longer.

One way to reduce drug spend is to have the FDA do an analysis of how long medicine retains it's potency. It can do it one drug at a time.

No one should throw away medicine they shouldn't have to. Whether pharmacy or patient.
