Every once in a while I check the statistics to see which of my Blog posts people are reading. If a post is getting a lot of views, I go back to look for typos and for ways to improve or clarify it.
An advertisement-free blog about motorcycling, Northern life, home improvement, power plants, submarines, nuclear stuff, and a few other off-beat subjects. Comments are welcome. (Image is the Selway Crags in Northern Idaho)

New Car
I had pretty much decided that was time to replace the Subaru. Sell the Subie and the motorbike, and get a really fast (but plain-looking) car so I could still satisfy my "need for speed", minus the risk of riding a crotch-rocket.
Below, not a plain-looking car at all. Surely very fast and cop friendly. Not interested.

College-bound
Our daughter has been getting quite a bit of mail lately from various institutions of higher learning. Apparently they have access to her PSAT scores, and obviously they have access to her name and address.
She has interest from quite a few colleges, both public and private, quite a few of which I'd never heard of before. But there are a couple that really stuck out - both due to their reputation.

A sneakier virus
There's a lot of Covid-19 in the news right now. It's impossible to ignore how much it's affecting everyone's daily life. However this is not the first time a lab-based virus has been inadvertently unleashed on an unsuspecting public.
Here's something I bet you didn't know: Not long ago, a contaminated vaccine was given to millions of people all around the world. This vaccine contained an unknown virus, and this virus and the diseases it cause were covered up for decades within the medical and scientific communities.

Time to replace the PC
Every once in a while, you end up having to replace your PC, and unfortunately that time has arrived once again at our house.
