It's a Christmas miracle! I found my glasses. They were on my sewing machine/desk table behind all the stuff I moved from my mantle so I could fit my Christmas village up there. I found them while getting a bag for hubby's present when he took Sahara for a hike, and I stayed home baking cookies.

“If we can develop multivalent vaccines that have many different flu antigens in them, we can replace original antigenic sin with a blessing of induced immunity.”

Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?

And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.
There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.
