BAJA BC EPSODE A

Just a reminder: Nick Zentner will start his 26-part perilous adventure into wild Cordilleran tectonics this week, Wednesday, 11/16, at 2:00 pm. I will not be involved personally, but am sure to be blamed – or praised – depending on your point of view. I don’t know how to tell you how to find Nick and his video. What I do is Google Nick Zentner and then grope around for the correct spot. Start early, and good luck.

how am i? You really want to know?

As I approach the big 9 0, people seem to be interested in “how I am”. Well, I usually respond “I am doing about as well as can be expected”, which of course means absolutely nothing. So, to be more explicit: I can’t see worth a damn, my hearing is for shit, I need a four wheeled waker to get around, and once in a while my brain backfires – but other than that I’m doing great! Thank God for gin and tonic.

If ovarian cancer didn’t spread so quickly, it wouldn’t be nearly so lethal. The trouble is, it metastasizes with great zest, and is, moreover, very difficult to detect before it does, That, apparently, is what makes this piece of news such a big deal (reported three times in three different ways, all at once(, These “bioengineers” seem to have a line on how to discourage – maybe even prevent – rapid spreading. AI is involved. Now for early detection! https://www.insideprecisionmedicine.com/topics/oncology/3d-models-may-lead-to-therapeutic-targets-for-metastatic-ovarian-cancer/

Just an experiment
