Prepping for a great Christmas so I got my flu shot. Here in Taiwan it costs US$30 for people under 50, even with insurance. Worth it! Vaccines are among our most incredible discoveries—a silent molecular armor.

Today, after 12 years, I reached the last page of this book. Cameron is a guide like no other. I will share just one quote, from Brenda Ueland:
“They do not know that ideas come slowly, and that the more clear, tranquil and unstimulated you are, the slower the ideas come, but the better they are.”

I believe it’s important that all Americans remain abreast of official White House communications.
The Voice of our democratic republic is being used for petty cult.
Meantime health research administrative staff has been cut so heavily that not a single contract can be executed.

Officially a genocide.
“Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. This finding is based on investigations and extensive evidence,” writes Navi Pillay, the head of a U.N. commission. “It has been corroborated by multiple sources.”
