   Let’s get this straight. The winter solstice has been celebrated for roughly 12,000 years. Of course there is no record of who or exactly when, but primitive astronomers discovered they could predict the seasons by studying the stars.

   Can you imagine how monumentally important that was? An ice age had ended. Farming and domesticating animals was in its infancy. In winter, as the days shortened and weather worsened, they could joyfully proclaim that the days would get longer and weather would improve. Demons were not eating the sun! We’re not going to run out of food! They feasted. They splurged and threw another log on the fire. They gave each other gifts.

   Our current cat was given to us when her owner was dying of cancer. The one before her came to our front door pregnant. One was abandoned in a vacated apartment and found by our son. One walked into my work place and curled up at our office manager’s feet. A kitten was found in a friend’s chicken coop. They just appear needing help. You can’t refuse.

   I don’t need a challenge. It’s simply a good thing to do for everyone’s benefit. I was just to dumb before to notice it is not difficult to do.

   Thank you. I searched a minute ago and did find places close to me where, “appointments are encouraged but walk-ins are accepted.” I must have missed that before.

   I must be dumb. I’d like to donate blood but never seem to find where. Occasionally I look it up online and am surprised to see I need to make an appointment for a month or more in the future, so don’t donate.

   I wanted to be a Doctor ages ago when I was young. I wanted to save people, improve life for people in pain. I failed pre-med miserably. I made mush of my fetal pig in comparative morphology. The only way I could get anything to work in chem-lab was to cheat, pretend I did the procedure and record the results that should have occurred. I saw others cheating like this and was horrified that they might actually become Doctors with poor skills. I changed my major but still want to do something to help in the medical field. It’s the only way a clutz can contribute.

   I’m donating my body. My family will have no expenses. Medical students will learn. My organs will be used. My wife will get my cremated remains later. I suggest everyone should consider this.

   If RFK Jr feels that Trump’s food choices on Trump’s plane are unhealthy, he could take some of the KFC, remove the skin, and eat plain chicken. Couldn’t he have his own food brought onboard? This is all so silly and stupid.

   It’s hilarious when someone gets a tattoo in another language and it’s completely wrong. For example, this young lady wanted to surprise her boyfriend with a tattoo that reads “I love you”. Instead, it reads “Babylon is one of the world’s leading dictionary and translation programs" in Chinese. Supposedly a true story.

    This will be the 57th election without George Washington on the ballot.
