My very favorite reader is Mil Nicholson. You may remember hating Dickens when you had to read it in school. Let Mil Nicholson read them to you the way Dickens intended!

A cool video about fever and the immune system, what it is and how it works. Fun fact, rhinovirus only infects your respiratory tract because it is a much cooler 33C than your regular 37C body and can't survive in a hotter environment even without fever ( youtube.com/watch?v=cRZOUcpiOx… ).

"Fever is doing more than just making you miserable – it's fighting to save your life. But what exactly is it?"

in reply to Jeff Gilchrist

Why haven't viruses adapted to fever through evolution over the past hundreds of millions of years? Adapted viruses that survive the heat now find new healthy humans are too cold for them so harder to infect new hosts ( youtube.com/watch?v=cRZOUcpiOx… ). 2/

Oh dear!
Let me explain this image. Someone from the US is trying to insert a plug on one of their devices into an Australian power outlet. Australia's outlets are 240V. US outlets are 120V max. Australian power outlets are switched off at the outlet. Those are the switches at the far upper corners. YOWCH!

Someone jury-rigs this get up, but doesn't think to get a power adapter kit for international travel?

"A single exposure made with a camera pointed almost due north on August 12 recorded this bright Perseid meteor in the night sky west of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The meteor's incandescent trace is fleeting. It appears to cross the stars of the Big Dipper, famous northern asterism and celestial kitchen utensil, while shimmering curtains of aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, dance in the night. Doubling the wow factor for night skywatchers near the peak of this year's Perseid meteor shower auroral activity on planet Earth was enhanced by geomagnetic storms. The intense space weather was triggered by flares from an active Sun".

Around here is a radiology company that has a few trucks (don't know why). The logo on the side is the California State flag grizzle bear but with the skeleton visible (as would be seen on an X-Ray.)
