Hey, just a note to say that I removed my Twitter posts. Twitter could be such a cool way to post brief posts to a blog. Currently, however, it requires that the account is unlocked in order to link to the blog. I got sick of people subscribing to my twitter account. So, I blocked it. And, blocked, the blog requires a log-on to see my twitter updates----dumb.
I still like twitter for getting quick news summaries from the BBC, science news and soccer stuff. But, other than that - it's just another vehicle for marketers and porn purveyors.

Lungs Suck AND Blow
It appears that the mystifying human body has mystified me once again. Just in the set of diseases that are not blatantly caused by the blatantly conspiring tobacco companies, or the ever-popular drug culture, there are more than 200 different identified diseases that result in some type of fibrosis reaction in the lungs.
Funny thing, (ha ha), is that fibrosis starts out as a normal method the body uses to repair itself. It's scar tissue. Sadly, the scarring goes into overdrive and can result in death. I'm going to try not to think too much about that result. The object of my desire is the few of these 200 diagnoses that can be treated quickly and simply, with non-lethal drugs, and result in a full recovery.
