Hello from Indiana. I live here now.

• Quiz / survey: Raise your hand's if you've heard of 'gravitational lensing'. (thanks)

Horrific wedding stories might make a good chapter in your next tome, Amy. Everyone's got a couple, along with UFO sightings and spooky poltergeist stuff.

Crid, gravitational lensing is old hat. But who is this "Indian A" person, and why are they anonymous?

• You'd think this would be the year that our nation would learn to keep certain critical manufacturing capabilities Stateside instead of, y'know, in China.

• Stories of Amazon doing things like this are legion. If you have a neat little garage business for importing Estonian shoe laces or something, don't run it through Amazon: they'll be watching your clicks and sales data. If you start doing well, they'll get into your business and will list their own sources first on customer searches.

The black firefighters who sided with her are even worse:

Cecilia Loving, the department’s chief diversity and inclusion officer, is defending a decision to kick Lt. Daniel McWilliams — one of three firefighters in the iconic 9/11 Ground Zero flag-raising photo — off a color-guard procession so it would be all-black.

When you try to stir up something with a downloaded picture and a lie, and the Internet calls you on your BS.

Sorry, here's the link for that last post. https://twitter.com/BusterSwordBoi/status/1287452021134626817

Here's a link to the original tweet. Sorry for bungling that.

The back story is Eric Stratton posted a picture of a woman with a neck blossom (hickey) and tried to pass if off as a wound from a fed shooting a pepper ball at her. The replies are almost unanimous on calling him on his BS.

Just found a YouTube channel where they farm murder hornets.

I wonder what kind of flavour do these murder hornets have?

He also claims to have committed war crimes in 'Nam. I say we ship his ass back to Hanoi and let them put him on trial.

“I've been gone awhile - pardon me if this has already been covered in the meantime. The snippet below is from the ADHD website, Black Girl Lost Keys. The part about motion sickness while driving reminded me of Amy's torment with motion sickness.

Symptoms of vertical heterophoria include not only migraines and severe headaches, but dizziness, nausea, anxiety, neck pain and balance issues. Situations where you may experience the VH symptoms include:

Moving your head from side to side (dizziness)
Standing up straight after bending over (dizziness)
Standing up from a sitting position (dizziness)
Riding in the passenger seat of a vehicle (dizziness and anxiety)
Rounding curves while in the car (dizziness and anxiety)
Driving on the freeway (anxiety and panic)

These symptoms are also similar to those endured by individuals suffering from an inner ear disorder, Meniere’s disease or MS. With so many possibilities, it’s essential that you take an assessment to determine if your eyes are indeed the problem. Regular eye doctors won’t be able to pick up VH during a routine eye exam, which is why you need the expertise of a NeuroVisual professional.” (Source: Vision Specialists of Michigan)

Well, he0's screeching his virtues out loud so no surprises that it's for either hide or atone for something really dark.

Welcome back Michelle. I missed you.

Ah, thank you Isab - that is kind of you to say.

I hope all is well with you and your family.
