Lizards and flatworms can do it, so why can’t we?

Persuading the Body to Regenerate Its Limbs

Humans can regrow their liver, and children under the age of 7 or so can regrowth their fingertips. So why not a new arm?

Cost of Colorado’s forced wolf introduction already rising; a ‘circular self-destruction formula’

According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, after the 1994 forced wolf introduction to Yellowstone National Park, through 2012, elk herds decreased by more than 80%. Most of the natural dispersion of wolves in the west since 1994 centers on the Yellowstone packs. As wolf populations increase and prey species decrease wolves migrate in search of better prey opportunities and open range for the new packs.

And then there’s the moose.

In Wisconsin, Minnesota and Alaska moose calves are a favorite food source for wolves, particularly in winter, and moose populations have suffered under wolf-protection laws.

China recently launched the first 22.5 metric ton segment of their new space station into orbit, using a 23 ton booster. Which is still up there, but on it’s way back down. And experts expect tons of it to reach the earth.

And no one knows exactly where or when it’s coming back down. But probably sometime this weekend. Maybe they should have checked with Elon Musk. He seems to be able to get his boosters back on the ground in one piece.

So Keep Watching The Skies!

Cue the Twilight Zone theme.

From the start, Elon Musk has said he started SpaceX because he wants to go to Mars. He has plans for the first trip in the next few years, and would like to have a colony up and going by sometime in the 2030’s.

Now in one of those really weird coincidences, or maybe it’s one of those Nostradamusy things, but back in 1952, almost 70 years ago, Wernher von Braun (yes, that guy) wrote a science fiction novel called “Project Mars”.

In the book, a guy named ‘Elon’ helped settle and govern the Mars colony.

So prophecy, or is Elon just a time traveler, back from the future? That might explain how he’s been able to do all these things at SpaceX that NASA as much as said was impossible.

CoVid News

Yikes!

Bald men are up to 2.5 TIMES more likely to suffer severe COVID-19 than males with a full head of hair.

Bees Have Been Trained to Smell COVID-19 And Identify a Case Within Seconds

Now if they could just be trained to inject you with the cure, it would be perfect.

One last thing about the Kroger’s Rx Club is that they not only have people meds, but also ones for your pets.

So of course, you have to put your pet on the plan too. That’s why our plan account looks like this.

The pharmacist thought it was pretty funny. Said she’d never seen anyone actually put their pet on the plan before until they needed it.

Disneyland’s new Snow White ride adds magic, but also a new problem

Apparently some people are very upset at Disneyland’s redo of Snow White’s Scary Adventure.

It seems that Prince Charming should not have kissed Snow White without her consent. And since he didn’t wait for her OK, he was guilty of Sexual Assault.

So Prince Charming should have just let her lie there and rot?

Thought For The Day:

We had lunch at Twin Peaks once again, that’s twice in one week, and yes, this was completely Jan’s idea. Originally we were going to have lunch at Snooze, but it’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind, right?

Am I a lucky guy, or what?

Afterwards, we went by the Kroger’s Pharmacy on El Camino to pick up our first 3 month set of prescriptions under their Rx Saving Club, and there were no surprises.

The total was $36, the same as I had figured on. And much less than the $134 for the same ones under Sam’s Plus Card, and the $160 for the same ones at WalMart.

So in one three month order of our prescriptions, I saved more money than the $72 that the Kroger plan cost me for the entire year. In fact it covered that amount and left me $26 over. And once I cancel my Sam’s Club Plus membership, I’ll save another $55.

A really great deal.

According to online articles, more than 25% of the public have decided that they are not going to get the China virus vaccine, and they can’t think of anything that could change their mind.

I’m in this group. And I’ve told you why.

And even more just aren’t going to get the vaccine until it’s officially ‘FDA Approved’, as opposed to the ‘Emergency Use Authorization’ (EUA) that it was issued under now. Then they will think about.

Jan’s in this group

And more and more people are noticing the increasing number of severe complications and even deaths that seemed to be associated with CoVid vaccines.

In the U.S. according to the CDC VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) there have been almost 150,000 serious illnesses and over 4500 deaths associated with the CoVid vaccines. And that’s equal to all the deaths from all vaccines over the last 20 years. And a Harvard study done for the CDC shows that only a small percentage of complications/deaths are actually reported to VAERS.

And in Europe, it’s even worse, with almost 350,000 serious complications, and almost 8,000 deaths.

And yes, these are small percentages, compared to the total number of people who have been vaccinated, but as somebody once said that it’s serious if it’s a friend, family member, or even you.

And now with less than one third of the U.S. population having been fully vaccinated, the daily rate of vaccinations is dropping off rapidly. And for some reason the ‘authorities’ just can’t figure out why.

Well, it’s pretty obvious to me.

Between the stories of people getting CoVid weeks/months after already having had it, and the stories of people getting CoVid weeks/months after already having both shots, they’re thinking, “why take a chance?”

And of course, they’re also being told that even if you’ve already had  it, or have been vaccinated for it, you’ve still got to wear the mask, social distance, no groups over 25 people, no singing, no dancing, and even no standing.

And it’s even a joke in other countries as well. Not just the U.S.

So in many people’s mind, if the vaccines don’t seem to really do any good, and they still have to follow all the CoVid rules, and the vaccine might kill them, “why take a chance?”

Why, indeed.

Thought For The Day:

Thinking Caps are no longer being issued, but there must be a warehouse full of them somewhere.
