Understanding UFOs with Dr. Michio Kaku [Click] Whenever I think of UFO’s I remember a cartoon I saw back in the early 1960’s (in True Magazine) showing a military officer speaking to a group of men seated around a conference table and droning on about “. . . swamp gas, which to the untrained observer . . .” while just outside the window at his back there is a little space alien standing up in his flying saucer and sticking his tongue out at the speaker, with his thumbs stuck into his ears and wiggling his fingers. ——Alan
The nurse came today and got Dad all set up with the nursing and PT schedules. We found him a cushion, so he's a lot more comfortable now. He has ditched the walker for his cane. Seems a bit premature to me, but all that matters is for him to be comfortable and safe. He's eating well and says he rests much better here than in the hospital. No surprise there. Tomorrow morning he goes for his post op visit with his surgeon. Since Sis is going with him this time, maybe we'll finally get some solid info.
Key document may be fake in LGBTQ+ rights case before US supreme court [Click] “Christian website designer says she received email request from same-sex couple but ‘author’ says he did not send it – and is not gay.” What happened to “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor?” This will certainly be an interesting test for SCOTUS. ----Alan
I read the Science News article earlier tody. The gravity-wave ripples actually come from orbiting supermassive black holes. scientists seem to assume these black holes will eventually merge, but as far as I can see there is no direct evidence for this.
And "sound" is a metaphor I don't particularly care for.
I don't remember if I noted yesterday that we made jam from our Santa Rosa plums. Developed by Luther Burbank and still very popular; I remain partial to Burbank Russet potatoes. ----Alan
Valley Fever (coccidiomycosis) is spreading in the western US. [Click] One of our local specialties. Toward the end they talk about a promising vaccine, which would be most welcome. Attempts to make a vaccine have been ongoing since the 1930’s, but not enough people in the US have been at risk to make a vaccine profitable. ——Alan
When I was in training as a medical technologist we had a patient with cocci meningitis. The medicine doesn't pass the blood-brain barrier, so can't be given intravenously. He had an indwelling catheter through the scalp into the brain, so we did bacterial cultures on the skin around the catheter every day. The man recovered completely. ----Alan
