Happy New Year!

Something I post at the top of every new year, and I appreciate the words more with every additional trip around the sun.

Love is
is not rude,
it is not self seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices in truth.
It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.

-1 Corinthians 13:5&6

I don’t know why I like this little transformer guy so much. I think it’s because he wears birkenstocks.

Note to Dan – Thank you for the info on the Yucatan meteor and the term paleoclimatology.

1845-8 – Irish Potato Famine / 1902 – Tunguska event.

It is unlikely that the meteor blew a hole in space-time to make crops fail fifty years prior to it striking the earth… Krakatoa’s 1883 eruption did drop the planet’s temp by about 7 degrees, and killed 36,000 people, though.

1918 – Influenza kills 20 million people. About a quarter of the US population catches it and 2 to 3% die from it.

Tony Danza has a talk show. The man is a phoenix, rising from the ashes. Taxi, Who’s the Boss… the funny thing is that I see the friendly palooka sort of charisma there. I have no idea what he’s like off-camera, but he seems pretty cool on-screen. I’m glad he’s been cut a break.

I think it’s interesting that Sri Lanka declined Israeli medical aid because it would have been furnished by a military team.
