<\/p>\nYesterday, when I got up, my vision was blurrier than usual. That does happen sometimes, often as an allergic reaction. I am such a delayed reactor that it could possibly be due to road fumes from the day before. It did improve as the day progressed, but not quite back to normal.\u00a0 Hopefully it’ll get back to normal soon, since it does slow me down.<\/p>\n

\nQuote – Undeveloped land is a rapidly dwindling resource, and what\u2019s left is under pressure to deliver a host of other services we require from the natural world\u2014growing food, sheltering wildlife, storing and purifying water, preventing erosion, and sequestering carbon, among others. And that pressure is rapidly intensifying. By 2050, in one plausible scenario from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), supplying solar power for all our electrical needs could require ground-based solar on 0.5 percent of the total land area of the United States.

\nQuote – To start with, it appears that while \u201cNu\u201d is outcompeting Delta, it is doing so in regions where Delta is more dormant and with low vaccination rates. Bloom Lab has a lengthy thread detailing why we should not be panicking. Concerned, evaluating, and being responsible, but we are not to the \u201csend in the HAZMAT suits and lock the town down\u201d stage.
\nClick through (worth it just for the headline photo)<\/a>. Things change so fast … apparently what they were going to call “nu” is now being called “omicron” (and I’ll spare you the linguistic humor.)<\/p>\n
\nQuote – Immediately following the election I infiltrated an affiliate of the Three Percenters unlawful extremist militia. They straight up asked me if I was willing to murder people from \u201cantifa\u201d and \u201cBLM\u201d during my intake interview. And I recorded all of it.
\nClick through for more details.<\/a> You know, I am 76, and I cannot remember a timein my life when I felt afraid of contracting a fatal disease AND afraid of being deliberately murdered just for being who I am. And I still can’t grasp how people of color must have felt all their lives – and how they must feel now much more personally yhan I do. I am very grateful this veteran is still willing to risk everything to save us<\/p>\n
