    Interesting. I have always been interested in ants. In fact, I have this big book on ants. In fact, I have the below book [image: ?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.oGrBT4dOxHxqcLSaz28CFwHaIp%26pid%3DApi&f=1] I looked in the index of the book above, and there are a alot of references to myrmeco..., mainly dealing with the action between ants and plants. [image: 1607481452324-img_4522-copy-resized.jpg] Never even heard of that word before. LOL

    I've seen The Who twice in concert, both times before 1972 - yeah, with Keith Moon. I was so impressed with how, with just a lead guitar and a bass, they could "fill out" the sound. ZZ Top is the same.

    @Copper said in Reversing Aging?: With a growing population food would be a problem life insurance would change social security would go broke the death penalty would be punishment for even the smallest transgression He addresses all (well, not the death penalty part) of those issues in his book. One of the points is that SS would be shifted toward people who are really retired, because, if you remain in good health, you'd work longer - presumably.

    What percent of Americans even know who Krebs is? I’ll bet they are more likely to say Kreb Cycle which tells you how little this matters. It will blow away like a fart in the wind.

    Omg. That’s awful. Sometimes you have no choice on who moves your piano (meaning there are no qualified people to hire). Our last move had our piano almost flipped into the rock garden off the front steps on the way into the house. We’ve moved it so many times I’m at the point where I fully expected it to come off the moving van in a million pieces.

    The TEA party. People said it died. It didn't. Some of the policies are definitely found in Trumpism. Trumpism ain't going away, either. If Trump doesn't run in 2024, look out for this guy: [image: Gov__DeSantis_signs_order_to_fight_algae_1_67121406_ver1.0-7.jpg?w=960&h=540&crop=1&resize=1280,720]

    Haven't Russia been vaccinating people for a week now? Calling it Sputnik? Anyway the UK is vaccinating today, starting with the over 80's and front line NHS staff first. This is undoubtedly the best way to approach the roll out as 99% of deaths here have been of people over 50 (or with medical complications) and the older you are the more at risk you are. Wife and I are probably in the ninth of eleven catagories (with catagory 11 not getting the jab) and expecting to be asked to attend... by Easter? The daily UK death toll is about 200 a day now, with continuing lockdown measures working as expected. And more good news, the Oxford/Astra vaccine has been peer-reviewed as safe in The Lancet.

    I blew it up to look at it closely. He had originally typed "DRELL" ... or actually "DRE" AND THEN overstruck the E with an I.
