Oh, fuck me! I jus’ put Kay on an flight so she can meet her sister for a cruise in the Gulf of Mexico, then I hear this… “A health care worker who may have handled a specimen from the Liberian man who died from Ebola in Dallas is on a cruise ship in the Caribbean,”…

So often anymore, people get wrapped up in the politics of a subject that they miss the actual message and thereby the real threat of the matter as is the case with Ebola. It doesn’t matter if an infected person’s spittle when sneezed or coughed is considered ‘airborne,’ or not! I don’t care if the…

A passenger from Frontier Airlines flight 1143 flew into Reno-Tahoe International Airport and was checked for Ebola. That is the flight the second nurse diagnosed with the deadly disease was on before being admitted to the hospital. Officials say the individual does not pose significant risk and was released.

People often talk about the benefits of planning. This includes preparation and foresight and a bit of cautiousness too. And while all these things are important in one aspect or another, we are also ‘planning,’ to miss out on life-events if we don’t jus’ sometimes ‘go for it.’ So plan not to plan and throw…

(1996) It’s human nature, I guess that people feel the need to complain. I do it all the time. One of the best examples I can call upon is the weather. We are never happy with the condition that presents itself during the day. Recently, I heard a newscaster complain that it was “too hot…

The Seattle City Council is replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day in the city.
