FYI - SARS-CoV-2 (Covid) is not a respiratory virus, it is a systemic virus.

There's a good discussion of this and the 40 odd injuries it causes over on Bob McDonald's Quirks and Quarks on CBC

If you are still on Twitter and you followed @Scribulatora I'm saddened to report that Catherine passed away this past week after a short bout with cancer.

The cat distribution network scores again. One of the firefighters at the scene ended up adopting him.

Because the Columbia River is more than a meter lower than normal many rock formations that aren't normally visible are so now. I really like the color striations in this one

The Asteroid That Killed the Dinosaurs Created the Amazon Rain Forest
Fossilized pollen and leaves reveal that the meteorite that caused the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs also reshaped South America’s plant communities to yield the planet’s largest rain forest.

So my neighbour across the lane is getting new gutters and soffit vents. This should be maybe a 2 day job. They are now into 2 weeks. The contractor is a guy who about 15 years ago put in my chain link fence. If I had known Bob was going to hire this guy I would have told him not to. You'd think that someone doing jobs like that would know to use galvanized steel poles not zinc plated. 15 years later I need to sand rust off the poles and coat with rust proofing paint each year.

Think of this. We have the technology such as Eavor Technologies (https://www.eavor.com/) has to tap into this inexhaustible supply of clean energy and never have to use any other form of energy to run everything where there's a power grid. All it takes is the will and money.

As for the money we are well on our way to creating an unlivable environment. Economics dictates we need to do this.
