My cousin just emailed me and she asked me if I remembered anything about a smallpox quarantine when our mothers were young.  My grandfather had had smallpox, so he moved to his sister's house and ran errands and delivered groceries to my grandmother, who was stuck inside the house with the seven children.

I don't remember ever hearing about that.

I think it may have been a family thing, not a national one.

It’s 88 degrees outside. Tomorrow will be 91. Time to get that AC ready.

HA!  MR BK does read my posts.

Of course it was Maurice Jarre - that's what I get for not fact checking before hitting "POST".

It is shocking that they wouldn't have been vaccinated.  I did a quick search and not all states made it compulsory to be vaccinated.

As much as I would like warmer days, that is warmer than I care for right now.

Cillaliz, I just went back and read that youR father died just a few days ago. I’m so sorry. I hope you’re at peace with it. were you able to get together with you family? Or had self-quarantining measures going into effect then? How is your mom handling it?

DR Cilla, not too long ago DR John lost his father.

I had several unpleasant emails this morning.  It hurts to know a friend is in serious trouble and refusing to do a thing about it.

 If you insist you do not want to receive the facts, then you should not comment publicly as if you know the facts.  That's how alternative facts happen.

I just endured another moronic Trump daily update.  If the GOP were smart, they'd set him up in an empty room, videotape his updates, edit them to make almost sense, and show that to the public.

And here's today's NY Daily News cover.

Our building effectively has two wings...the entrance is in the center, if you turn right there is one department , if you turn left there’s my department.

Is it the same company or two different ones?
