Out of the Blue

If you hear revelry from the engine room at the BlueTower, that's because we're celebrating Frans' birthday. I've said it before, but it cannot be overstated that this site would have disappeared from the internet ages ago were it not for Frans' tireless efforts at keeping things running smoothly. This is largely a thankless task, so I hope you will join by expressing some appreciation in wishing him well on the occasion. Happy birthday Frans, and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Re: the elevator article....

Nearly 1.1 million Americans end up in the emergency room every year due to incidents stemming from taking the stairs, according to a study published in 2017 based on data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System.

Seriously? Sounds like those people should be taking the stairs daily because they're not nearly getting enough aerobic activity. If it's within 5 floors and I'm not in a rush I always take the stairs up and down.

The number of injuries from elevator trips is miniscule, Smith says: "The real safety problem with elevators is we don't have enough of them."

No, it sounds like there's too many of them which is why 1.1 million Americans end up in emerg every year.

"The feds have not involved themselves in regulations of the construction industry since Reagan took an axe to it in the 1980s," Smith said.

Well that's utterly terrifying to know.

Happy birthday, Frans! I hope you will have a great day.
In the current political and social climate, don't be an aggressive monkey . Show that you have evolved that important thin sugar coating called civilization. Don't fall for the fools.
