A couple of thoughts: 1 RFK is such a bad nominee that he should not in any reasonable world even be given consideration. RFK advocates such non-science, death-causing (think Samoa), agenda-driven positions that he would be an immediate danger to all. The RFK nomination is an insult to all the capable, hard-working, intellectually honest scientists and health workers.
2. Nan is so so wrong on so many facts and issues as all have pointed out already. But I do think she has a point in one of her many many posts where she writes that the status quo is not working for her and many others. I think this is due to two reasons. A. Science and medical practice does not have cures for many illnesses. For example, there is still much work to do on mental illness. B. Our society and politics do not equitably provide all the benefits that lead to good health. We can and should do better. The list of things we can do better is very long and this could be a useful thread all by itself. I would urge Nan to become involved in real solutions and not become prey to those who deliberately and for profit, and political advantage spread lies and doubt on those people who are legitably working to improve our collective lives and health. By the way, "An Enemy of the People" a play by Ibsen parallels many of the debates and politics that go on today.

A belated happy New Year!
Wind Advisory continues today with gusts in the 40s mph, especially this afternoon
Then mostly sunny through the weekend with highs in the mid 30⁰s and overnight lows in the mid 20⁰s. Maybe some light snow Sunday night into Monday

So I move one step closer to being the oldest person in the world.

Eggs will damage the paint. I would use a power washer with a cleaning solution in the tank. Also use the wider spray tip on the nozzle. It will be difficult for you to do it manually, especially in the little nooks and crannies that you have on the screen. Maybe get a professional cleaner?

Can you be a bit more focused in your responses? None of those links is about Russia's invasion of Ukraine and those that might be are behind pay walls.

Forecast still more or less on track for a nice weekend, light snow likely Monday
Today, a chance of flurries with temps in the mid to upper 30⁰s, a mix of sun an clouds
Saturday, breezy is back but gusts only in the upper 20s mph, temps in the mid 30⁰s, sunny
Overnight lows both days in the mid 20⁰s
All the models still show the storm passing to our south Monday, primarily affecting Philly through DC. Here on the northern edge, we are generally seeing modeling in the 1" to 2" range and mostly on the low end of that range. That said, the snow has been creeping slowly north towards us, and there is a slight upward risk in total snowfall -- perhaps to 2 - 3 inches at most. High Monday around 30⁰ and overnight low down to 20⁰
Most modeling has light snow starting in the morning on Monday, perhaps during the rush hour or just after. While the snow would not start out heavy, any snow has an effect. Since the snow is not likely to ever be heavy, road crews should have little trouble keeping up but drive carefully anyway and watch where you walk
Although Tues and Wed will be clear, they will be cold so you'll have to shovel whatever falls.
Picture is this morning's GFS (USA National Weather Service) model run showing around 1" of snow for our area. The Euro model has a bit less, the German model a bit more but looks at this point to be an outlier. We are very close to the northern edge of the snowfield in every model, so little shifts are bound to happen. Unless there's a significant change I'll post again on Sunday.

This article makes two errors I want to highlight:
1. It makes a false equivalence between non-violent civil society and violent military action. Providing funding and training of non-profits is absolutely not the same as bombing a country, shooting missiles at it, sending your army to invade an occupy. Put in terms you might understand -- Russia's interference in the US 2016 election was not remotely equivalent to a military attack.
2. It repeatedly denies the agency of people in other countries, arguing that any aid people in other countries receives means they are completely under the control of the US rather than being independent actors willing to accept aid where they can get it. To put it in terms you might understand -- the fact that Americans who are opposed to American foreign policy will often take Russian government money -- for instance, by working for Russia Today as one example -- doesn't mean they aren't genuinely opposed to American foreign policy.

Update, Mona Lisa is being adopted! I met the most amazing adopter, perfect for her. Two senior dogs will have to decide if she is a good roommate so we will find out after she is picked up on Wednesday. It was wonderful news on New Year's Eve. I'm hoping that 2025 will reveal homes for all of the pets in need.
Fenway is with my friend Lisa of Puppy Love, the two youngest cats have been adopted, two seniors are still looking but in foster care and the dog has a home too!
Happy New Year!

Nan,
I wouldn't waste my time providing you with sources if my life depended on it.
More than anybody else on this board, you have proven track record of dismissing sources without explanation if they don't support your Western-hating world view.
