Thanks. Josh.

Right now, funding is just a slow trickle.  That needs to change.  We need a saw palmetto supplement for cash flow!

On the issue of curing cancer, I talked with a scientist on the train who said that they are learning how to better see cancer, the same way that they can better see nuclear materials at entry points, etc., and as they better learn how to see cancer with this technology then they use a laser set specifically for that frequency that will remove just the cancer without hurting the surrounding tissue.

Salute,

On the issue of finding Gold, I saw a satellite that was being built to tell us where the Gold is, and where other natural resources are. The same way that we know what the materials are on Mars, we can tell where the Gold is here on Earth, etc. And companies such as NASA, and Sverdrup, and others, know where the Gold is from satellites. If you want to mine for Gold in order to raise money to help orphans, or whatever, then NASA and Sverdrup and others know where to go open Gold mines.

Salute,

Tony V.

When I first lived in these hills, decades ago, no one really needed AC.  Anyone capable of opening windows at 8pm and closing them at 8am had all the home cooling needed.
Now there are more people debating getting central air or at least a window unit where they sleep.

It found a small bundle of string!

I, for one, am looking forward to reading all about string theory!

Well fuck!

Damn rare earth elements.  Anyone who saw season two of House of Cards may recall the billionaire Raymond Tusk, trying to get a sweet deal on rare earths.

Anyway, this delays my EV purchase a few more years.  Prices right now would be tough for me without the $7500 rebate.   

I've been leaving the fern juice burner in the driveway a lot anyway, keeping the old legs strong.  The spouse is amazing - she walks to most of her errands - keeps me inspired.

5 miles wide and ostensibly created when the dinosaurs disappeared - I presume one of the critters left a diary or something.

Possibly the single most important scientific project/s concerning mankind today. And this particular project is very exciting.
