Yes - it's not a question of politics. It is
universally recognized among persons of any
sanity that preparing the immune system against
anticipatable assaults is a good thing. And
therein lies the public welfare issue.

Which ends up being very costly to the public.

Indeed, and sometimes dangerous.

It's gotten to the point where if I hit the y key just
so, I may get an o - there must be some short circuit
going on under this keyboard. I do readily admit that
most of the short circuits are in my brain, though.

Not fun, no matter how you look at it.

Eh, it's an adventure.

I revel in heavy meals, especially if they are a
good mix of protein and fat, carbs generally being
tertiary. So when it's 90 and humid in Buenos
Aires, and there are these slim, elegantly clad
young affluents chowing down on their pound or
kilo of sirloin or ribeye, I go "right on" and do
my best to emulate them.

I can't recall having had even 3/4 lb of meat, if even that much. In
hot, humid weather, my consumption of heavier foods drops even lower.

I think the most I've ever comfortably eaten at one
reasonable sitting is a bit over 2 lb, but that's
not a common thing.

That's sort of straw-manning it. As I said to
Nancy, open-mindedness is incompatible with
empty-mindedness and can exist only in a setting
where facts are given first priority.

So keep an open mind about all of it.

We're trying.

This looks good too--Cinco de Mayo is coming up. (G)

Who cares if you drop the condiments into the
swimming pool?

Not many do care, unless you're of mexican descent.

Hi Michael,

Yes - it's not a question of politics. It is
universally recognized among persons of any
sanity that preparing the immune system against
anticipatable assaults is a good thing. And
therein lies the public welfare issue.

Which ends up being very costly to the public.

Indeed, and sometimes dangerous.

Quite so!

It's gotten to the point where if I hit the y key just
so, I may get an o - there must be some short circuit
going on under this keyboard. I do readily admit that
most of the short circuits are in my brain, though.

Not fun, no matter how you look at it.

Eh, it's an adventure.

That's one way to look at it. (G)

I revel in heavy meals, especially if they are a
good mix of protein and fat, carbs generally being
tertiary. So when it's 90 and humid in Buenos
Aires, and there are these slim, elegantly clad
young affluents chowing down on their pound or
kilo of sirloin or ribeye, I go "right on" and do
my best to emulate them.

I can't recall having had even 3/4 lb of meat, if even that much. In hot, humid weather, my consumption of heavier foods drops even

lower.

I think the most I've ever comfortably eaten at one
reasonable sitting is a bit over 2 lb, but that's
not a common thing.

I'd probably have stopped around the half pound mark, especially if
there was something else served with the meat.

That's sort of straw-manning it. As I said to
Nancy, open-mindedness is incompatible with
empty-mindedness and can exist only in a setting
where facts are given first priority.

So keep an open mind about all of it.

We're trying.

Just be careful of what falls in while it's open. (G)

We went to a Mexican place today but neither of us had any beans. I had
a good (translated) land and sea; Steve had a mixed chicken and beef
fajita bowl. Both of us brought home left overs.
