What to say? Retired from the corporate rat race. Fly fish, hike, and backpack but age and knees falling apart have seriously limited ability. But I’m still out there

Scientists achieve "striking reversal of Alzheimer’s" in mice
“Our results point to a new path: fix the barrier that keeps the brain healthy," researcher Giuseppe Battaglia told Newsweek.

I beg to differ. The Tilikum Bridge Webcam pointed west toward the city with a nice view of the bridge traffic as well as where the ICE prison is located. Especially love the classical music soundtrack www.allclassical.org/tili-cam/

And what’s great is that they play in a local park in southeast Portland. Kinda looks like a Little League field. So much fun. The Hillsboro Hops have proper ball park

Tilikum Crossing webcam in Portland w/ classical music. Cameras are pointed toward downtown Portland in the direction of the ICE facility. Nothing burning down just like 2020 when I posted from Mt Tabor. #warravagedportland @wyden.senate.gov @tinakotek.bsky.social

Great article. I go bonkers reading/hearing survey and research study results from questions asked, sampling, question design, & indecipherable graphics. Best ever classes I took was psychometrics and survey design. Yes I’m a nerd

Wait. What? While the market went bonkers under Biden the cry was that the stock market wasn’t the economy. But now it is? While I agree the stock market is not the economy, the lunacy here is unbelievable

Our U.S. Representative Maxine Dexter showed up on Our Corners today. The Hollywood (district in the city) Ukulele players have been showing up, and I talked to a nice young man who joined us. Conversation and music make the hour go fast. We had 120 people. I heard that 400 showed up downtown.
