Promos and Further Hints

Image
Blatant self promotion.... Both "New Kitty" and "New Bag" go forth, in one swell foop! Since I've plugged this crazy YouTube thing a couple times, I don't want you to think I'm just lazing about. Noooo, I've been cranking out Spider and Olde Scooter games like a geriatric machine. ... etc. There are bunches of games, for your relaxing, de-stressing, cooling out and general bemusement. Every game is richly augmented by the rambling, shambling host (who dat?) commenting, philosophizing and "observing."  Do a channel check right here .  p.s. The red strip at the top of the YouTube screen grab is the next "New Kitty" hint.

All In for Bears Ears

Trump + Greed = Destruction of the Sacred The Pew Charitable Trusts finally got my attention: Take eternal beauty....                            ....and sacred Native American lands. Mix thoroughly with miners, drillers and hoteliers. Add Ryan Zinke , Trump's Secretary of the Interior. Stir with dark money until foam-at-the-mouthy. And watch our heritage be privatized.  Besides Dorothy and I are headed for Bears Ears this fall... IF the government is still open, or IF we don't get stopped by "development." Action! Attend "public comment" meetings. Write your reps.

Hi, I'm the Automated Response Bot

Up close and personal - ish I notified the company Life Cell Research that I had mentioned them in the post below about my "age extension" experience. I received this warm, personal response: Hello duff, Thank you for contacting Live Cell Research. We will be happy to assist you with your inquiry. I have forwarded your email to our customer support team for assistance. I thank you for your business and patience. Bill Sharpe Live Cell Research Staff www.livecellresearch.com I can't wait to see what assistance I get. Their A.I. needs a little more I . But this is OK. Can you imagine the amount of staff it would take to personally respond to all e-mails? Inevitably, there will be some pure non-sequitur in the automated responses. And I just LOVE accidental humor.

Worrying About Chinese Competition

Image
WAY faster than most of us believe, the Chinese are sprinting *** You may have perceived that I have much concern about the Chinese threat to America's commercial and military technical leadership in the world.  We hardly hear about this from either corporate or governmental U.S. leadership, certainly not in the "news." OK, maybe it is the fault of The Press, and we peons just don't get to hear what's happening in boardrooms and backrooms on the issue. Perhaps our leaders are up to their necks in this kind of concern, and since it doesn't involve the Kardashians we never hear about it. Thanks, Press. Self-Driving Cars? Intelligent refrigerators? Pfiddle. The Chinese have higher ambitions. The same company that introduced China's competitor for the Boeing 737-Max and the Airbus A350 Neo, Comac, is planning future dominance. Along with Chinese space station plans and super-secure communications efforts  and breakthroughs in hypersonics , they are s

Euros Punch Out a Pharma-bully

Oh, Those Over-Regulating Europeans! Drug firm is facing fine of £220m for hiking prices Aspen raised cost of cancer medicine by 1,200% ...That's $244 million in US dollars. Aspen is a South African pharma company, acting exactly like the American company Turing Pharma and their  scurrilous ex-CEO Martin Shkreli, "Pharma Bro." Here in the "over-regulated" (according to Trumpsters) U.S.A. we mainly just call these exploiters bad names, rarely do we actually regulate their insatiable greed. Read the full story here. GOOD WORK, EUROPEANS!

Am I Getting Any Younger?

First follow-up on " Anti-aging pills aplenty " ** I started taking “life extension” supplements about a year ago. About time. I’m 80. Here them are: Nicotinamide Riboside 300mg/day Trans-Resveratrol 100mg 3/2days Pterostilbene 100mg 3/2days quercetin 800mg/day (“3/2days” means that I take those two every night, and alternating between them every morning. I take the NR every morning and the quercetin morning and night.) This little mix is what’s new in my fairly wide-spectrum and ever evolving “regular” supplements mix. I’ve been doing one variation or another of that for almost 60 years. One of these days, I’ll run over that list and tell you why I use each one. Fascinating stuff; I’m sure you can’t wait. I started with NR based on the reading I referenced here . Added in Pterostilbene after I realized my first NR product Basis by Elysium had it, so I added it as a solo ingredient when I tried Live Cell Research’s Niagen - straight NR.* Trans-re
