Begs the question as to how much longer the Kim Family can hold so many people hostage. We should do everything we can to get the technology to the masses there so they can all see what is going on in the world.

I recall a story on one of the old TV anthologies, maybe "Outer Limits" where a crew sent to Mars vanished and a rescue ship was sent to find the cause. Was "monsters" that lived under Mars soil. It was scary enough.

Before the tragic WHO concert in Cincinnati, I was in a crowd waiting to get into an arena for an Emerson, Lake, and Palmer concert. It was "festival seating" and when they opened a door or two the crowd began to move. For a few seconds I felt helpless as the motion of bodies seemed uncontrolled. Fortunately it subsided and entry went smoothly.
When the WHO tragedy happened, I could understand how it could have gotten out of hand.

When I was teaching high school biology I had made up a program of study for the non-college bounds students utilizing the nice outdoor area we had by the school. We went outdoors for various activities, even in mid-winter. One such activity was based on survival, Jack London style. I had them team up and gave them one match to build a fire. The college bound kids were not happy that they didn't get to do such "cool" things.

Funny when it seems every time I fly somewhere I get sick when I return home. When I go to the grocery store I like to get a cart that has been out in the sun. Ultra-violet is a good disinfectant.

The old lap belts were not really all that good. The 3 point lap/shoulder belts are best. I use mine all the time. Had an accident in 1967 in a car w/o them. Lesson learned.

I DJ'ed on FM radio for several years in the 80's and early 1990's. I always thought I had a good ear for a hit on an album. Loved previewing new ones and jotting down suggestions on the stickers we put on the covers for other DJs.

Since moving to SWFL, I notice I do not have the angst that I got back in CNY around March. Up there I'd be stark raving mad, almost Jack Nicholson in Shining, after the long winter with crappy weather and little sunlight. The last 4 years I worked a lot inan underground quarantine facility where I'd go to work in the dark and return home in the dark, never hardly seeing the sun. Longer daylight hours are best.

I remember seeing Huskie dogs at a fire station that would be like that. We had a cat one time who would come out and sit in the snow watching me shovel the sidewalks.

Interesting.I DJ'ed for many years in the 80's-early 90's and never noticed that. I usually listened to the end of a tune before cueing it up, but never noticed anything like that at all. Did discover "backwards messages" on records. That was fun.

I was working at Cornell doing some research on an invasive insect species, the Asian Long Horn Beetle. I had charge of an underground quarantine facility that had some sensitive environmental controls. If they failed for any reason, we'd have to start all over again after a couple years of work. That morning, a Saturday, I went there to make sure--just in case--they were not working. They were.
