VERY good to know.

Thanks for the report.

My SIL has been wondering about theirs....I’ll let him know your story.

I will.

Glad I won’t have to go in to work unless they call me in.

Good system, for Swiss. They sure seem to be doing something right.

Interestingly, Trump and his task force seem to be taking mostly the same measures as the Swiss. Our measures thus far are actually less intrusive, but the Swiss don't have a bunch of chicken little's running around claiming they are destroying their country over the flu. I suspect Switzerland's proximity to Italy, and having such a high infection rate themselves might make it all a bit more real.

Agree....the Swiss citizens appear to listen and take heed.

Ours take Booze Cruises, in Bahamas.

split pea soup

We have a little highway restaurant near Solvang, CA named ‘Pea Soup Andersons’ (you’ve probably seen their canned soup in the grocery)

Add a little sherry, side with some warm French bread and that pea soup is kicked into gourmet status.

I have to go to a Retinal specialist once a year to have scans of my eyes due to the medication. So far-so good.

Amazon is looking to hire 100K

They are also advertising for transportation networks - asking if people want to be an entrepreneur and build a fleet of delivery drivers. Like a taxi co for Amazon packages. Great opportunity for uber/lyft/taxi folk go-getters. Or if you’ve got like 85 cousins.

Seafood like lobster from Canada, destined for China, now is destined for other markets. Might make for good deals.

sock...please check in, when you can.

I am here. My Mom got a UTI, and I was afraid she was going septic. Doc & I reached a compromise of me dropping off a UA, as I was not gonna break “our bubble” of no contact. I still had to pick up script at drive through. Arrrgh.

She is on the mend, but I am waaay behind on these threads.
Thanks for worrying about me.

I had lunch there in August 1964 on the way from San Diego to Federal Way, WA. Excellent pea soup. We arrived just in time to start 3rd grade at Adelaide Elementary School.

If the Japanese have 600 pits, things might become even more interesting.

all that glitters is not gold

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323692#is-quinine-safe

you’d have to drink almost 20 liters of today’s dilute tonic water daily to achieve the daily dose typically prescribed for malaria.
That may come as bad news for anyone hoping to cure the deadly infection with a nightly tippling session, but it should come as a relief to the rest of us, because quinine comes with side effects
