Went for a short walk to the drug store. The weather is absolutely gorgeous: Temperature in the upper 60s (Fahrenheit), little fluffy clouds floating in a peaceful blue sky. The daffodils and forsythia are blooming, the birds are chirping, the trees are pollinating, the hummingwolf is sneezing. Ah, spring.

Question of the moment: When chocolate Easter eggs are on sale for 22 cents each, can I pretend that they've got fewer calories now too?

In the news (unrelated to war): Back Pain Linked to Brain Shrinkage. "The changes in people with chronic pain, Apkarian told Reuters Health in an interview, were particularly noticeable in parts of the gray matter that are known to be important in making 'emotional assessments,' including decision making and control of everyday social behavior." Ouch. In better news, they've now invented an enzyme-catalyzed bio-battery that runs on shots of vodka.

Really? How much power did that battery produce and how much vodka was needed? Was this battery marketable, or were there still a few bugs to work out? Enquiring minds want to know...

lots of bugs.

and way too much vodka.

if it were marketable, it would be much less in my past and my bank account would be much less in the red.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I think the developers of the new battery are trying to make one that actually works for its vodka. Good luck getting your bank account out of the red some other way!
