Agreed. Why I will be forever grateful I never had kids.

Can you imagine if the kid brother you regulary noogied became the pope?!? I bet they jokingly called him "Pope Bob" at one point. 😂

"Known as "Bob" or "Rob" in childhood, Prevost consulted his brothers about his papal name the evening before the conclave". -Wikipedia

It like they made paper airplanes of “stuff the government does”, threw them around the room, and some landed in the corner call “arts”. 🤔

Not related to this post.

Just wanted to tell you I thought you did an awesome job interviewing C. Rufo. Damn, he was difficult. Slippery as an eel.

Front page of the manuscript titled, “Experimental analysis to quantify inactivation of microorganisms by Far-UVC irradiation in indoor environments.”

Far-UVC light (222 nm) kills airborne bacteria in indoor spaces, reducing pathogens by up to 99.5%—even with low ventilation. Tested at room scale, it works fast & effectively. A game-changer for infection control in schools, hospitals, offices. Let’s deploy this tech!

Pot calling kettle black.

In other news...

Homogenized (cream blended into the milk) or do you mean pasturized (heated to kill pathogens)?

Ask for asylum!!

My reading right now!

Ah, missing the point of forgiveness.

It is NOT to condone the behavior. You can forgive and still call the police. It does not require reconciliation. It is not for the sake of the forgiven.

It IS for the sake and for the peace of the forgiver.

Five years of the COVID-19 pandemic: An interview with Dr. Arijit Chakravarty In this interview, Dr. Chakravarty discusses the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic and public health globally five years after the initial outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in Wuhan, China.

This is probably one of the BEST articles I've read regarding Covid.

It's long, but worth your time.

Measles at 6 weeks old. Mumps at age 8, I remember being absolutely miserable.
Make it make sense.
What next? "Raw" drinking water? Yes, let's bring back cholera?

I've been saying this since last April. We only have a limited # of vaccines. Give them to farm workers (poultry/dairy) & veternarians FIRST, healthcare workers & others next. Work on biosecurity & PPE for farms.

Hey David, do you have any thoughts or inputs on the H5N1 Avian flu pandemic precipice we seem to be on?

Mix of book gifts and library books. Life is better with books!

Happy Christmas BookSky! 💙📚

So happy to be part of this great community of book lovers, many of us in exile from the other place 💙 📚

Been reading that this week!

Same. I will read 60-90 minutes a night (I read before I go to sleep) which translates to about a book a week + or -. Roughly 52 books a year. I just couldn't read all day, every day. Even retired. Things to do! Places to be!

Merry Christmas!

Yep. Good point.

Watching some of our favorite holiday Christmas movies like Die Hard and Gremlins to get in the spirit!!

My knees hurt looking at it!
🤣 but the fantasy is fun.

When I first met a friend of mine (35 years now) we realized we had been living in the same small towns at the same time across THREE states for YEARS. We were meant to finally meet! Even went to the same college as same time. We kept just missing actually meeting!

We don’t just have one kettle, we have two! One is about 25 years old and the other about 5 years. We like our teas, coffee (pour over) and cocoas!

A fire on the grate and a border collie by my side.

I call the little kids "viral magnets". I mean, they have ALWAYS been like that!

I've had that same conversation. It like, oh yeah, masking is smart...but I'm not smart? Or...I bend to peer pressure?
Personally, I like not getting sick!!
