    My 90 yo next door neighbour, Fran, has Covid. It hit her lungs, though she’s a little better today. Perhaps you could say a prayer or send some vibes? 🙏🏻✨🌈💛🤞

    1. I sure hope she recovers soon. Does she have family members nearby?

    2. She does. But they can't visit while she's positive. She has supplies and we are in text communication daily. I left a nosegay of flowers with her mail, as I already bring the mail to her door each day to spare her the walk to the mailbox.

  3. There are reports of another drone strike on the Russian Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Sevastopol-- the first day on the job for the new commander. Putin allegedly fired the previous commander because of successful Ukrainian attacks.

    1. There are also reports that the US has given Ukrainian forces longer-range (rocket assisted) howitzer munitions, drones with much longer flight times, and the largest and farthest-flying HIMARS rocket artillery rounds. Chinese drones with longer loitering times and ranges have also been reported, although that is less well established.

  4. Neanderthal Brains Developed Differently From Those of Modern Humans [Click] Their genetic material was less well preserved during cell division than that of modern humans, which raises the possibility that they went extinct naturally. And mice proved to be a perfect study analogue.

    1. Yet some of us still bear a small percentage of Neanderthal genetics. Mine is 4%.

  5. I’m the Driver Now [Click] “Learning to drive as an adult was the hardest, best thing I’ve done.” Jeez—the UK driving test is half by satnav.
