A Note of Appreciation

Good wishes for Dr. Thomas Dugoni at Kaiser Permanente Roseville (on the left), who persisted and persisted in trying to get Erlynda into surgery for breast cancer. Erlynda treated the news of cancer as basically Fake News, and frittered away close to a year in avoiding surgery. Fortunately, the cancer was slow growing, and Dr. Dugoni kept hammering at her until she finally gave in. It appears that the surgery was a success, despite the delay.

Getting To The Point Of Absurdity With All This

Good for Ilhan Omar!

We're All Related to Charlemagne

But some people (like the Vigils) have better proof:

According to Henrietta Christmas, president of the New Mexico Genealogical Society, people in New Mexico who have the surname Vigil most likely have a common ancestor who is a descendant of Charlemagne.

...Thank Juan Montes Vigil, the common ancestor and descendant of Charlemagne, for the New Mexico connection, but thank Colorado-based researcher Brent Alexander Cruz for finding the link between the Montes Vigil ancestry and the prominent Ponce de León family descended from Alfonso IX (1171-1230), King of León, who was a descendant of Charlemagne. Cruz’ research looked at documents dating from the 700s to the 1300s.

Juan Montes Vigil was a native of Vega de Poxa, in the region of Asturias in northern Spain. In 1611, he traveled to Mexico City and married Catalina de Herrera Cantillana. They had a son, also named Juan Montes Vigil, who later settled in Zacatecas, Mexico. He, in turn, fathered a son named Francisco Montes Vigil.

In 1665, Francisco traveled north into what is now New Mexico as a settler, along with his wife, María Jiménez de Anciso, and their five children. Francisco and María established the Vigil family of New Mexico, Esquibel said.

Cat-Like Animal

Jasper was excited by tonight’s walk. Not only did he surprise a cat and chase it across the parking lot, but he got a chance to see a new, cat-like animal: black fur, bushy tail, with a white stripe. For some reason, his master wouldn’t let Jasper give chase.

Prose vs. Poetry

Taking it seriously:

The pair engaged in an animated discussion on the merits of poetry over prose during a drinking session, which soon escalated into a lethal brawl, after the suspect stabbed his friend insisting that poetry was superior.

In a statement, federal police in the Russian region of Sverdlovsk said: "The host insisted that real literature is prose, while his guest, a former teacher, argued for poetry.

...The incident comes four months after a similar argument over the theories of German philosopher Immanuel Kant, who argued that reason is the source of morality, resulted in a man being shot in a grocery store in southern Russia.

New Mexico - A Rape Paradise

If you have elaborate plans to get all rapey, New Mexico is a pretty good place to do it. Weak laws and all that empty space. Myself, I think the endgame was probably blackmail: get incriminating goods on other rich people and pry out grudging investments for Epstein's hedge fund. That's where the big money is:

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — At the center of Jeffrey Epstein’s secluded New Mexico ranch sits a sprawling residence the financier built decades ago — complete with plans for a 4,000-square-foot (372-square-meter) courtyard, a living room roughly the size of the average American home and a nearby private airplane runway.

Known as the Zorro Ranch, the high-desert property is now tied to an investigation that the state attorney general’s office says it has opened into Epstein with plans to forward findings to federal authorities in New York.

Epstein, who pleaded not guilty this week to federal sex trafficking charges in New York, has not faced criminal charges in New Mexico. But the scandal surrounding him has still sent a jolt through the rural southwestern state as it comes under scrutiny for laws that allowed him to avoid registering as a sex offender following a guilty plea a decade ago in Florida.

30 Things Millennials are Killing Off

Progress, The March Of....

For many Americans, football is more than just a sport: It’s a way of life. From the NFL, all the way down to Pop Warner leagues, football is such a popular and lucrative sport that for previous generations, it was almost impossible to imagine an American way of life without it.

But many millennials can imagine a life without it – and that’s got a lot of people worried.

Green Chile In Space

John sends this:

Depending on the alignment of the planets, the shortest trip to the Red Planet can take about six months, and astronauts would ideally stay there for one year, Torres said.

With a total of two years away from Earth, the astronauts’ prepackaged meals would not last the full duration of the trip, so Torres and his team are currently undergoing studies and tests to determine foods most suitable to grow in space.

“We can build all the rockets we want to go to Mars, but it won’t work unless we have food to eat,” he said. “So, right now we are the top priority research project in NASA.”

The research team of microbiologists, engineers and scientists became enticed by the possibility of using New Mexico’s famous Hatch peppers. The Hatch peppers were the top choice until Torres arrived and suggested Española or Chimayó peppers.

“Because of the legacy and knowledge base with chiles developed in New Mexico, it just seemed to be a logical connection to establish when NASA began to conduct experiments with peppers as candidate plants for growing in space,” NASA Plant Physiologist Ray Wheeler said. “Jacob was instrumental in helping us make those connections.
