It's not my field, but you might hire an Aztec or Maya to coach you on the fine points. You wouldn't want him the sacrifice to be misdirected.

We could refer to the GOP as Grand Old Pandemic. Catchy?

What is that picture, you all ask? (Or don't).

That giving-the-finger thing is a dense cloud of interstellar gas and dust in a star-forming region. It's being chewed at by ultraviolet light from the surrounding, much hotter medium, which is being pumped up by stars far hotter and vastly brighter than the sun, hot young stars that just formed and will not last long. The ultraviolet light erodes the much cooler, denser gas along a sharp boundary. The famous "pillars of creation" picture of the Eagle nebula, created by Jeff Hester using Hubble images, is another, less racy example of the same phenomenon.

oh wasabi. have to try that. I sometimes add caviar to mine. It goes well with the egg and has a nice salty pop in your mouth. It looks pretty too.

I heard about that Karen. She wasn't all that old as I recall. Except for Wonkette I am very ambivalent about Gofundme. Financial planning people. Have life insurance. Have a plan for your funeral or call the MEs office for free cremation. That people have to have Gofundmes to pay for needed medical care is shameful. People should not have to internet beg to stay alive.

I tried it one night at 3 AM high as a kite at an all night Jewish Deli in Boston, where I thought I would get some legit gefilte fish. I love fish. The gefilte fish was inedible and I've never tried it again. That was 45 years ago and I remember it like yesterday.

Wonder what ole Franklin Graham says about this plague being the punishment of God for us turning away from him, except the people supposedly turning toward him got whacked.

Forgive me this, but I must say it: I mouseovered your description--how cool, never noticed these before and now I will be stalking everyone on here, and I saw you were a "superb vegan cook and live chef" and wondered for a brief half-second if those weren't mutually incompatible, because `live chef' took my down the road of my cats preferring their meals be consumed with a beating heart. And then I thought, "oh."
