Good morning, GN. Thanks for checking in, Mac. Prayers that the chest pains disappear.
Good morning, Paddy. Agree that without accountability and punishment, nothing will ever improve. It starts with objective and timely oversight -- something that govt and society overall seems to lack. It’s been six years since covid began and we still don’t have answers.
Is the NIH worth saving? Jay Bhattacharya thinks so. But this requires a new scientific revolution, a new “gold standard” for science in America. Doing so is critical for a country whose longevity hasn’t increased for the past 15 years. Uncover the replication crisis that underlies our scientific establishment today. See the scientific stagnation problem that has caused every dollar spent on science to go less far than we did decades ago.
Happy Friday, Gerbil Nation!
Good afternoon, Sven!
The day has just slipped by. Teh Older dropped by to discuss the health insurance options at his new job, then Mrs. Paddy and I drove into downtown L.A. to check out an architectural salvage stores in search of tiles to add to our fire place. We were successful, which means I have some masonry and tile work in my future.
I haven’t had a full night’s sleep in over three weeks now. It started when Mrs Sven had a nightmare one night and she picked up a nearby club and started beating the heck out of the bookcase next to the bed. After trying supplements and different OTC sleep aids, I finally went to my doctor and he prescribed an anti-depressant/sedative called trazodone. Took it last night, but no go and I’ve been groggy all day. Will give it another try tonight.

Started watching this last night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqR00vX0V-E&t=1616s
Will finish it up, but finding it encouraging.
This:
Reminded me of these James McMurtry’s lyrics to Choctaw Bingo.
Really a great song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieOfuEnToTc
That really is a great song. A great group of musicians, too.
Happy Friday, Gerbil Nation!

There’s the idle hands thing, so good on you Paddy.
