Now that I can stop and catch my breath... This month has been a lot. Good news is Mom is recovering and her spirits are good. Funny news is that the 21 year old niece tried to lecture me on how to use social media.

from a 1941 medical article about events from 1840...
"Mississippi had at this time annulled its laws regulating medical
practice and in another report, Dr. Cartwright by statistical analysis shows the resulting enormous increase in mortality."
Everything old is new again!

Hey @skookses.bsky.social - I thought of you yesterday because I used the phrase #Standing and it was even Katrina related. All these years later...

New this week: I wrote about how people seem to always perceive that crime is rising -- a problem that goes back at least a century -- and what I'm hoping to do about it. Check it out!

It's a hard time of year. May I suggest the fluffiest of novels? I find reading brain candy the brat escape. I read 4 novels this week because that's where my head is
