Out of the Blue

I'm almost fully recovered from my vaccination ordeal. The worst of it was actually over by the time I mentioned it, but I was still a bit achy all over for most of Friday. My arm remains a bit sore at the injection site, but it's not too bad, and it continues to improve. I am certainly glad I had this done to my left shoulder though... do they still do injections above the butt on the hip like when I was a child? And do they do those for adults? Seems to me that probably would have been an easier place to deal with soreness than the shoulder, but I could be wrong about that.

It didn't help that the big dummies from MIT said it would be a failure resulting in the deaths of everyone involved. http://news.mit.edu/2014/technical-feasibility-mars-one-1014
I mean what do they know.

Don't be too proud of this statement you have constructed. The ability to do science is insignificant next to the power of the crowdfunding.

On the plus side, it provided salaries for all the people who worked there for 6 years.

76 is pretty young these days.

*meh* slightly under "average" but plenty long. I'll be surprised if I live that long and I'm not sure I want to -- although my decision is heavily influenced by quality of life and continued self-sufficiency.




Truth is brutal. Prepare for pain.

76 is pretty young these days. I guess he had too many freedom fries.
