i’m watching Forensic Files here and there and thinking please stay away from that head-butting girl forever, Mr Smith*. I have a strong feeling that she’s going to end up in jail, for violence.

I can imagine Rodney Dangerfield doing a bit about the whole head-butting thing.

Oh, wait, never mind, that's IL. It was clearly intentional.
And Mark even visited Portland late last year. Portland.

Thanks for asking
Just reading about all you went through had definitely affected me....making me far more cautious than I had been...
Seems like you are already extremely careful, Vinny.

Not really. My preferred lifestyle leads to be quite protected.

But after reading about Mathjak I turned down an invitation for supper with a friend.

Father in law died in the Philippines about an hour ago in what appears to have been a COVID complication of sorts although he tested negative. It was hard to make out what was happening because I don't speak Visayan but apparently he was rushed to the hospital because he was having difficulty breathing. When he arrived there was a delay in treatment due to the necessity of following COVID protocols which was why I woke up to my wife screaming at the doctor on Facebook Messenger. Apparently he died before any treatment could be given. At least that's the story as best I can piece it together.

Oh my, that’s rough. My condolences to you and your wife and family.
DNA has its own language (code), and language requires intelligence. There is no known mechanism by which matter can give birth to information, let alone language. It is unreasonable to believe the world could have happened by chance.

Thanks. Still not sure what the whole story is but probably never will.

Kind of glad my wife's passport expired in November or we'd be on our way to the Philippines which would probably be a bad idea right now.

Sat next to a couple of Colombian gals tonight.

There is no more beautiful, pristine Spanish on the planet than from the Andean region surrounding Medellin.

Centuries of isolation and you could swear you are talking to Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra himself.

And those conquistador genes also survived quite well.
