From The New York Times:

How Scientists Could Stop the Next Pandemic Before It Starts

"I grieved to think how brief the dream of the human intellect had been. It had committed suicide. It had set itself steadfastly towards comfort and ease, a balanced society with security and permanency as its watchword, it had attained its hopes - to come to this at last. Once, life and property must have reached almost absolute safety. The rich had been assured of his wealth and comfort, the toiler assured of his life and work. No doubt in that perfect world there had been no unemployed problem, no social question left unsolved. And a great quiet followed."
H.G.Wells

A cheeseburger walks into a bar.

The bartender says - sorry, we don't serve food here.

Scientists have been working very hard while studying the effect of cannabis on sea birds....

Apparently they’ve left no tern un-stoned.

Took a stroll down millionaires row this afternoon just for something different.
Just 5 minutes of walking to see how the other half lives.
Such a weird mix of architectural styles with a few that are somewhat bizarre - but I would gladly take any one of them and make it my own.

Is this our last rain of spring time?

We like to try new recipes and take those we find and customize them.
What we put together tonight had baby spinach and tofu to start and after chopping it in the food processor, the dish took on a nice greenish tint. We prefer to name our dishes something silly but this one has to be Soylent Green. The only thing that could have made it better would be if we'd borrowed the tofu from a neighbor.

Katie has been cooking vegan for us two nights a week. She really puts some work into it and the result is often really delicious.

We had a pasta dish a few nights ago with a cashew-based sauce that was as good as dinner can get.

And by the way, no matter the ingredients, CAN a dish called "Soylent Green" be vegan?

After all, "it's...." Well, you know the rest of the quote

waldo shared this with me on that other site.
Lasher's euro doppleganger.
You don't have to speak his language to get what he is saying while making moves between hardware.
What the hell does he stuff in that one hole to tighten up the pin?
Looks like some type of corrugated paper.
His climbing log is wonderful.

JC, I'm betting on discarded fuel rod insulation from Chernobyl.
