This and that.


Lots of trouble again with the blog, so will post this all out-of-order and possibly overlapping before it gets even further messed up.  We may need to wait until my daughter comes here from Hawaii to straighten everything out as I'm just having too much trouble right now.  She did intervene remotely quite recently which seems to have caused even further problems, so will retire for a while from the blog until she shows up; then we will try to fix everything together.  She had suggested a modification, I believe it was not to copy or summarize an article, but to just post the link.  But for myself--and perhaps for my readers--I prefer to mention what most items say, not make readers do their own research.  I'm trying to tie my whole narrative together to make a point or come to a conclusion. This is my commentary platform after all.  Maybe she and I have different visions for the blog.   Therefore, dear readers let's just take a break here for now. 


Storm uncovers shipwreck buried for more than a century on Nantucket

 The Warren Sawyer ran aground on Dec. 22, 1884, while carrying 1115 bales of cotton and 28 tons of scrap iron from New Orleans to Boston.  So its cargo was never delivered and its crew members may have drowned.  Below is what the ship looked like before it was lost.

The counter-productive influence of Health Secretary RFK Jr.'s vaccine skepticism means folks are not getting their kids vaccinated for measles and other common childhood illnesses, with lifelong consequences for some, perhaps even death.  Measles had been declared eliminated from the US in 2000.  Now, thanks to RFK Jr., and to Donald Trump who appointed him and still keeps him in office, measles is back again after 25 years.
