Aside from having to removed the hardened slobber from the walls with a chisel, yes, the absolute best. As an adult I have settled for half-Newfs, who are just as chill and huggable, but slobber a lot less.

“This book is an evidence-based counter to despair. It shows, using
four case studies, that health inequalities have been reduced by political
and social policies. The key message is to continue these
life-enhancing policies.”
Sir Michael Marmot, UCL Institute of Health Equity
Health inequality has reached a crisis point. Your income or hometown can have a
devastating impact on how well and how long you live. This injustice, exacerbated during
the COVID-19 pandemic, continues as the cost of living rises and other sources of inequity
grow. What can be done to make things better?
This book, written by the authors behind the award-winning The Unequal Pandemic,
explores successful international case studies of governments reducing health
inequalities – from the USA and Brazil to Germany and England – stretching over fifty
years from the 1960s to the 2000s.
Essential reading for students and scholars of public health and the social sciences, and
for health and social care professionals and policy makers, this book demonstrates that
reducing health inequalities is possible and provides a roadmap for today’s governments
to follow.

Still getting to know my coffee maker in Konstanz. I’m starting to think that it might not be me. Bonus picture taken from the path in front of my building, and one of my very fancy computer stand.

And here I thought it came from being tired because your dog woke you up several times in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. Speaking hypothetically, of course. Obviously this dog would NEVER do that.
