   That picture takes me back to my youth (I’m 64). Only the flat screen TV and smart phone would be out of place. Even the etch-a-sketch and playskool telephone would be period-correct for the 1960s. Not a hand-held videogame anywhere!

   Sad times coming.

   My late mother did dialysis. Many websites say the average life of a patient doing dialysis is 5-10 years, but in reality it’s less:

   “The expected mean survival of a 55-year-old American is 26 years. The expected survival for a 55-year-old person with a kidney transplant is 15 years, but the expected survival of a 55-year-old person on dialysis is only 5 years.

   The mean survival for all people in America who start dialysis is 3 years. The shorter life expectancy for people starting dialysis is because the mean age of people starting dialysis is somewhat over 65 years."

   (my mom was 79 when she started it, passed at 82).

   “These generally grim statistics for people on hemodialysis have not changed substantially in more than 20 years. "

   “125,000 miles per hour, or five times the Earth’s escape velocity”

   They deduced that because they had a high speed camera pointed in that direction that shot at 1000 frames per second or 1 frame every millisecond, and the cover only appeared in one frame. Meteors burn up from air friction going 30,000 mph in the very thin air 30-50 miles up, so good chance that the metal cover going 125,000 or over 200,000 kph in the thicker air down near the ground melted and disintegrated in a few seconds.

   A real shame that Marigold let that makes-you-dumb spell slip out during the election. Explains everything. ;-)

   The future, when we will no longer know what is real and what is simulated. No worries. Our A.I. controllers will take good care of us. ;-)

    Trying to use that old trick on them? Google the clever story of STONE SOUP if not familiar with it.
