The month's over & it was mostly meh. Nothing about it was the worst of the year, but none of it was great either. At least it's ending on a sunny day. Normally we'd have plans but we handled most of today's stuff yesterday. We had to go out because mail not running on Monday. All that's left for today is getting trash to the curb.
That's the end of May here, hope your's went well.

Due to the weird weather, the lawn hasn't been mowed as regularly as it normal. It wasn't super high, but some extra smelly things grew up. When the man nowed, it stunked. This morning, it still smells.
My roomie, the cat & I spent yesterday dealing with the aftereffects of the yardwork. My eyes, throat & nose hated me. I coughed & finally sneezed myself into a slight nosebleed. Grass is OK from a distance. I'd rather not have it up close, too much pollen, stink, bugs, work & noise.
Still recovering from the mowing. We have some errands today, that should've been handled yesterday, but it was a mail holiday. So, today it is.

They're back. I found a few articles that sounded interesting this morning. Each piece was behind a paywall. Most didn't even give the 1st paragraph or an abstract. Unless you were already subscribed, it would've been a blind buy. It's possible other sources may cover the matters in a bit. Maybe next time, there won't be any paywalls.
Take care.

It's being an uneventful end of May, at least for me. There aren't any big plans for the holiday or things needing done immediately. It's a sunny morning, that's nice. Things that haven't arrived yet, hummers, dragons or bunnies. I guess the rabbits chose another yard. There've been a few possums about. So far not much else in the yard.
The locals haven't been too annoying with the holiday. Just some idiot who likes whiny, country rap. A bad combination in any form. But no lighter fluid ridden grilling has happened yet. If that's all there is, that'd be good.
That's it for now, take care.

I think most people would rather be led by religion or rhetoric than science. Both the previous things are somewhat cultish & what they state is fairly set in stone. Science at its core should always be evolving with exposure to new information & current events. Religion is a dead thing, a fossil made of old ideas . Science is dynamic. It's adapting, adjusting & refining as it encounters new or further phenomenon.
Do you want a rigid life where the rules are engraved in granite, then religion's for you. If you want to move forward, however frustrating or frightening that may be, look to science. There's the old line, "To boldly go..." Star Trek had ideology & science, not religion. Where the federation got into trouble was when it relied to heavily on it's own rhetoric instead of adapting to the situation.
You have a choice, move forward or stick your head in the sand. There will always be new information, findings, discoveries, formulas, etc... For better or worse, even after decades, new finding still emerge about HIV meds.
But with that new info, they can adjust. That's the way of science. It won't bring the comfort of absolute certainty. But it can give the assurance, it's probably the best currently available & it'll keep looking into the matter. Science isn't a short race with a finish line. It's a long haul, marathon with goals along the way. Passing mile markers doesn't end the endeavor.

This is the last Friday in May 2023. We have to go shopping & may run some errands. Other than that, we're mostly finished for the month. There wasn't much for articles, but it's the end of the month for them as well. There's a lot up in the air at the moment & it's a holiday weekend, maybe are holding off until next week.
That's it for now, take care.

It's brighter here this morning but not really sunny. This looks to be the rest of the month. There won't be much happening here today.
Last night was annoying. We were set to watch the last of a series & the cable box screwed up. I spent nearly 45 minutes on the phone with an incompetent representative. She accomplished nothing & tried to set a tech appointment for nearly a week away with a 10 hour window of a tech possibly showing up.
I finally unplugged everything & waited a while & then replugged. Suddenly there was the show. Half over, but it was there. Normally, just a quick unplug & replug will reset the box. I don't know what was happening, but something wasn't working. Then the show ended badly.
It'd been nice if the month ended in a decent way. Take care.
Cya...
