Too soon.

He’s from the Bay Area.

Ice just tossed his laptop in the direction of Ayer,MA.

Many of those locations are at elevations not possible in the east.

It’s not due to the pacific jet. The main PV is on the wrong side of the NHEM in the longer range. Ironically the jet buckles as it enters NOAM as we start to get the semblance of PNA on the long range EPS but for the time being cold is limited. However limited doesn’t mean we can’t snow-we can as you know. But to get a really favorable pattern we need the PV on our side but not sitting on our face.

0Z looking worse and worse day by day in the long range. Hopefully eps is wrong and maybe we can take a compromise...

Lol...we were out for a walk and I was sure I saw 2 people with a dog out ahead but alas, it was 2 posts and a hydrant. I feel like it’s so much easier to metabolize vs alcohol which I almost never have these days save for crown the night of 10/29...lol. Another thing no one told me about....was eating lunch with our daughter and 12 year old nephew one day and he blurts out-“I really love it when it snows-everything changes and no matter what I feel happy.” Wife and daughter have looks on their face staring at me with eyes wide open! When his mom came I castigated her for never telling me! So there’s another weenie in the muthufukking house here in Chicagoland! I told him I’d put him on the text alert list for when snow comes so he can store up on sleep.

I was sad when Kevin was sad I was seeking relief-but maybe I misinterpreted it.. one thing I misread was the dosing- definitely overdid it but can’t say it wasn’t fun. And my head is still quiet.

Yes

Just went into the local dispensary (legal in IL too) to see if I could get something to quiet my essential head tremor. Sub lingual 20:1 CBD/THC does the trick amazingly with no real psychoactive effects! No longer being a fed has freed me-picked up some gummies too!

We tested 16 of us Thanksgiving morning at an MD family friend’s office. All negative. Biggest gathering since a year ago. Hopefully accurate amd no one gets sick...

Ya never know. A perfectly healthy thin person I know got Covid-19 and was so sick she ended up in the ICU. She said good bye to her 10 year old son. Thankfully she survived. But she’s a long hauler-one of those people who’s body just doesn’t recover well even though they are negative. Most have an easier course but it’s still unpredictable. I was at the market today and became acutely aware how under rated supermarket personnel are as front line poorly paid workers taking on a lot more risk than most every day...

Meh-everyone with a social security number has it in some nefarious database.

Bingo. One of the nasty flu epidemics had a rushed shot (50 years ago?) and a small number of people got guillain-barre killing the vaccine.

No flu shot? Why? Doesn’t make a lot of sense if you interact with more vulnerable people. Also, most medical personnel are required to be vaccinated.

One of my friends is a subject. She’s a surgeon at one of the local hospitals in Boston. She got a little sick for one day but felt fine by day 2.

Laparoscopic surgery gives the rapid recovery probability.

I was sort of tongue in cheek. But the reality is I went back to work after 1.5 weeks. I actually felt ok but tired and draggy until January (procedure was 11/2/2017).

Your liver is 20 years younger. You'll do fine.

The hardest part is general anesthesia. When I had my parotid tumor removed 3 years ago it took my brain 2 months to feel normal.

Everyone in surgery....lol. Scooter you having laparoscopic? Very quick recovery with that.

Wow Steve-glad you’re ok!

He posted immediately post op but I also have some concerns. I hope he’s ok-probably in Lala land for awhile

Every metric shows clearly that starting to invest particularly in retirement early will enable accumulation of much more wealth earlier in life. I didn’t start seriously until 40 and hence worked until 73. I’m damned lucky to have stayed healthy but that said I’ve enjoyed world travel, many of the finer things in life, and a fulfilling career. I climbed high mountains frequently throughout my life. I still can do plenty but the pandemic limits travel. Nevertheless our lifestyle is the same as when I was working full time thanks to maintaining strong discipline in putting tens of thousands away year after year.

Kids aren’t for everyone. I had my oldest at 31 and my youngest at 52. But I’ve enjoyed raising all of them. By the time our daughter came (different mom) I was entering peak earning years. She’s traveled and worked all over the world which my sons age 43 amd 40 did not get to do to the same extent. The one thing that made it possible has been being blessed with good health. That’s a combination luck and some ok choices.
