The new COVID-19 variant first identified in India, the Delta variant, which now makes up 6% of all covid infections in the U.S., has still some unknowns but depending on how the variant characteristics turn out, could cause yet another major wave, maybe in Fall/Winter 2021, especially in unvaxed regions, and possibly be vaccine resistant…

I’ve been blogging at my blog since 2005. in 2018, a work colleague used a phone app to create this character, with a frowning face. they used it on the work Slack as their profile picture, and each time we saw the colleague type in chat it looked like they were angry due to the…

Some wonder whether the first dozen generations of whites in the Americas had too many allergic reactions to the new plants and ended up adopting the habit of breathing with their mouths instead of nose as a cultural group some even going to speculate whether different groups of humans throughout history just randomly breathed with…

at one point the way our group of friends would “show off” how buff we were was by going to the school soccer field, jumping on the soccer goal post, hanging upside down using your legs from the goal post bar, and then doing abs crunches. So during our lunch break we went to the…

My second Moderna shot is scheduled for Saturday morning. I’m trying to get ready. That involves trying to get back in shape a bit, doing workout and trying to pace it throughout the day before. Also, catch up on all these late work projects, in case I am down for a long period after the…

so in the 2020 Dem Presidential Primaries there was a candidate named Mike Gravel from somewhere up there in the midwest, Governor of North Dakota or something. He didn’t do well, dropped out very early. Apparently during the campaign he created a YouTube channel to promote the campaign but then repurposed it as the “Gravel…
