Virtual run challenge: Pluto – King of the Kuiper Belt
Cute logo, almost over, no where near was the 31million miles reached, run or walked by over 700 people who signed up. I did finish more than my goal of 1,000 miles (beginning in May 2022 as I remember). I saw some pretty interesting posts…. one single entry of over 4,000 miles…. one gets a little nervous when posts are like this… LOL. Mine were daily, and mostly earned jogging inside, and in the neighborhood with the dogs. I will check on the 31st of Dec, but I hope to be in the top 10% of participants (and next oldest of the participants) 1202 miles logged with four days before the end….. I loved the logo which below. I guess they didn’t shut this down on the first of jan 2023 after all….
so i keep adding miles (walking miles now, as i am running the year 2023 with RunTheEdge, so all miles added to this event are walking miles (per my fitbit). 1327.69 miles 01-22-2023.
OOPS, virtualrun pulled the plug on this one, LOL, feb 1 2023 (likely no longer making them money, likely too, not really interested in 31,000,000 miles as a goal.
Is this what is meant by “America First?”
read this article on new plastics…. but in the meantime…. think of your impact on the earth and other countries.
WHO WAS MISSING?
I got my covid shot (first one) two days ago, and I was overcome with admiration for those many many many individuals who were working in a parking garage, taking tabs on who comes in who goes out, asking about health and concerns, getting papers signed, directing the flow of traffic, entering and checking data, making follow up appointments, giving shots, standing by for the first 20 minutes post vaccination. WHO WERE THEY? young women and young men. WHO WAS MISSING? middle aged white men. Just an observation.
BTW I was vaccinated to protect YOU, you, the people I dont even know and have nothing in common with. And I am grateful to all the young people who were committed to YOUR health.
UC Health, thank you!

Best quote ever
The complexities of biology, physics, math, etc may never be completely understood — thus it is better to have questions that cannot be answered than answers that cannot be questioned.

Science illustrations fun reminders: coronavirus charms, patterns for cross stitch, fridge magnets
Science illustrations fun reminders: coronavirus charms, patterns for cross stitch, fridge magnets — all made with some accuracy for the real SARS Cov 2 anatomy in mind. This has been an education for me, firstly in modeling proteins on RCSB and the pluses and lacks theirin, also for learning a little about virology, even more importantly, for releasing that pent up emotion over this crisis, having to work from home – which has its own problems and rewards and not knowing whether the crisis politically drive, fear driven, whether this approach is good for society and the economy or bad for society and the economy, which leaders are telling facts which are telling fiction, and knowing the final impact will only be known in the passage of time).
BUT – here are some fun (at least fun for me) products of these last two months (made without apology and without fear).

You want to know the future of this pandemic?
You want to know the future of this pandemic? Read up on the 1918-1920 pandemic. The script reads the same as today.
Hands IN Food BIN
Does anyone but me see a problem here. Better question, does anyone anymore recognize the germ theory of disease to be valid. Or is everyone a “natural” scientist and have their own opinion.
Kroger has put out refrigerated bins (i think to copy Whole Foods) but do you see that the tongs that are used to individually pick up each item are just put back on top of the FOOD itself. Dirty hands, hands that have just picked noses, wiped babys drool, put their fingers around dirty Kroger shopping carts, handled raw meat packages. WOA… something is not right here. Wake up Kroger.
Strive vs strife
STRIVE: toil try fight struggle quarrel contend
STRIFE: fight battle conflict quarrel dispute
I wondered if these words were related, yes, in fact from the same root — in middle europe listed at somewhere around 1200. It is interesting how the word strive has a positive spin, and the word strife has a negative spin. BOTH could mean conflict, perhaps the former is internal conflict and the latter is external conflict. just thinking out loud.
