   When schools are known for grade inflation then institutions on the next rung for education avoid using those grades for judgements and look more at national tests (in this case the LSAT, I think, though it is not my field), and some check social media. There is a lot that can be learned about who to avoid admitting on their social media.

   Or got the typical congratulatory $1 per patent from his company, or stock options that are hopefully not under water. Hey, anyone who uses internet music owes that to patents my hubby was involved in and the $1 for each that was issued before he retired (nothing for the ones issued after he retired) was something the researchers always enjoyed as a classy touch. (Being able to work on exciting projects with other smart people was always the biggest perk of the job.)

   Yipes! Seriously, right now it is better to keep little kids away from seniors.

   Hmm, but will being grounded lead to Donald becoming a grounded person?

   Sometimes it is not how many, but who…

   I wonder if in the story line he will one day be quoted and linked by someone who is very good, another by someone who is very confused but very well-read, and yet another by someone very wrong and manipulative?

   Okaaaay. Did you only totally miss the point, or is your head purposely in the sand?

    For me it is glaucoma and cataracts. The cataract in the better eye will eventually have surgery. The worse eye probably will not tolerate another surgery.

    Age related macular degeneration has now been related (increased rate) to certain diets:
