   I missed the original Star Wars (it’s a long story), so The Empire Strikes Back was the first one I saw. Blown away by the special effects and obvious character development. When I saw the original, it was a bit of a letdown. “Empire” is still my favorite of the first three.

   I love it when I find someone mentioning R.A. Lafferty! Although he wrote a number of wonderful stories, I’d have to say my favorites are “Polity and Custom of the Camiroi” and “Primary Education of the Camiroi” which take a savage swipe at our education and political cultures.

   Saw a TikTok from a chicken farmer, who suggested letting the flock develop immunity, instead of immediately killing them all, which makes sure none with natural resistance survive, either. I know the virus mutates, but developing immunity sounded good, as he explained it.

    Yes, I remember. The dime ones would be over a dollar, maybe two, now.
