Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Ugh, sorry.

We now have a test to stay program in our district and randomized testing (if parent approved) that will hopefully keep the kids in school.

the district also handed out rapid tests to every family.

There are neural control loops between immune organs, e.g., the spleen, and tissues, e.g., joint capsules, and the spinal cord, which influence local immune and inflammatory responses. These loops are, in turn, under the influence of brain systems. These mechanisms have been largely neglected by immunologists and rheumatologists because it's easier simply to flood the system with anti-inflammatory drugs or antibodies and block inflammation in the target tissues. It's not clear how clinically important these neural control systems are, but they might be a big deal.

So my next phase of "treatment," when mouse drugs stop working, will resemble this?

It would explain a lot if I knew that you've already tried it.

Belated Christmas graft. The father of one our outside counsel owns an olive grove in Greece and makes his own oil. Can’t wait to try it.

BTW...Anyone here read Greek?

Agree. We will all likely get it, but if we are vaxxed/boosted we should have mild illness.

Nice color. Could be great. I've had some really good oil from Kalamata and Crete.

In the days ot balloons made out of rubber, I was famous, in my small circle, for finding their remains out in the woods, sometimes with messages attached. Now I find rubber objects on the ground. Within the year I found a rubber duckie and have it displayed in my art corner.

I have two at home. They were given as part of gifts at a wedding I went to a long time ago. They rest on a ledge above my bar. Every once in a while the cat knocks them onto the floor just for the hell of it.

#FunFact
There is a segment of Jeepers that name their cars, and write the name on a rubber duck. They keep a stock of the ducks inside the Jeep, and when they meet another Jeeper they exchange ducks. They display the ducks from other Jeepers on their dash board. It's weird.

No, I don't do that, but my wife got a duck from another Jeeper that we met at a lunch place a few years ago. It does not reside on the dash of our Jeep.
