   My hometown. Rough weekend-40 shot with 5 dead. Sorry to say it ain’t news anymore.

   Obviously Arlo has not started any prescriptions for high this or low that. Temperature never bothered me until that phase kicked in. That being said, always said you need changing seasons to keep your sanity. Those areas without much difference between June and December seem to loose perspective, their grasp of mortality.

   Everything happens for a reason. Without Columbus’s New World “government of the people, by the people, for the people” probably would not have had a chance. All history is full of sins, but today we can pass to our children and grandchildren the best times in history by almost any measure.

   I had the same symptom for years. Put me in the hospital twice, with one overnight. Eosinophils were the culprit. Landed a great GI internalist. Modified diet with perscription generic Prilosec every other day and I’m symptom-free.

   The knee and GI tract are elegant solutions to complex mechanical and chemical problems. I’m at a loss to point at a single living creature with either better knees or digestion.

    Mansplaning warning: 1) The blood of the face drains down the carotid vein except for just around the nose and upper lip. They drain into the same veins that drain the brain. This area is known as the Triangle of Death because infections can spread to the brain. 2) Growing spinal discs are nurished by blood flow in and out of the left and right sides of the back of each disc – 4 & 8 o’clock or so. Upon maturity, the discs “solidify” and the vessels scar over. Because these scars are in the area of greatest stress, discs are prone to rupture there. In both areas, the nose and spinal discs, minor rerouting of blood flow would have avoided or at least alleviated the detrimental outcomes.
