Bluebirds Fly on the Terry Trueblood Trail
We got out today on the Terry Trueblood Trail because it was sunny and 60 degrees. It felt like early spring, although Punxsutawney Phil put the kibosh on that. The ice was giving way on Sand Lake. The birds were waking up and hungry. And I can’t remember the last time we saw bluebirds at…

Are There Clear and Consistent Racial Differences in Immunity?
So, the short answer is “Probably not.” I did a little digging on this because I heard the recently confirmed HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr (RFK Jr) cite studies which he says did indicate there are differences in humoral immunity between Caucasians and African Americans. Now remember, I’m a retired general hospital psychiatric consultant…

Old School
We were reminiscing about our elementary school days following a discussion of news article about what some educators want to do with the school day schedule. Apparently, kids are pretty sleepy in class and teachers think it’s because they’re sleep deprived. Apparently, they’re not getting enough sleep at night and the proposal is that the…

Send The Asteroid; We Deserve It
About that news article regarding an asteroid colliding with earth—I couldn’t read it…hits too close to home (rim shot!). More seriously (but not much!), the background for this is that the asteroid 2024 YR4 has been identified by NASA and is tracking it now. News stories emphasize its large size of maybe up to a…

Get Ready to Vaccinate Your Chickens!
I’ve heard about the recent contract a drug company (Zoetis) obtained to make chicken vaccine for the H5N1 bird flu virus which is hopping from birds to cows and even to humans. So far, I haven’t heard that the bird flu is transmitted between humans. As far as eating eggs, I’ve read that the chance…

Rife vs Ripe: Which is Right?

It was posted on February 13, 2025. One thing it reminded me of is the tax filing season, which is upon us (everything reminds me of…

Sena Double Dog Dared Me to Try the Electric Snow Shovel!
Well, the snow kept coming down. I had to go back out to shovel. I was going to use my plow shovel, but Sena said I was too chicken to try the electric snow shovel. I couldn’t back down. So, I had to go out there, after the wind had changed mind you, and use…

Sena Gives the Electric Snow Blower the Real Test!
We got a real snowfall starting last night and into this morning. Sena took the Voltask battery-powered 48V 16-inch snow shovel out and put it through its paces. We got about 6 inches of snow and it chewed right through it. It threw the snow into the next county! It took her about 30 minutes…

Super Bowl Commercial “Mean Joe Frank” 2025 Looked Familiar!
We watched the Super Bowl last night and one of the many commercials (always a big thing) looked vaguely familiar only after Sena pointed it out. It was the Fareway Frank commercial about Fareway stores. It was a reprise of the famous 1979 Coca-Cola commercial with Mean Joe Green, defensive tackle for the Pittsburg Steelers…

The Big Mo Pod Show: “Variety is the Spice of Life”
We heard the Big Mo Blues Show last night and heard a couple of tunes that were fun. One of them was mentioned on the Big Mo Pod Show today, “Feelin’ Alright” by Stuff. The other was a riot but was not on the podcast, and it was “I Feel So Good (I Wanna Boogie”…
