Now, this is great news as we approach my birthday.
Because among my favorite things are a bottle of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, a Petite Syrah, even an occasional Malbec (in decreasing elation). And, now the data is in about resveratrol, an anti-oxidant (a polyphenol), which has some pretty potent benefits.
So, yesterday, we described Bigelow’s first space venture. (Yes, FIRST.) Because space still matters- as does recognizing the dreams of science fiction are just tomorrow’s science and technology realities. Even though we have a government that seems to have lost the concept that spending money on government R&D returns manifold benefits to the economy. Because, if the government helps with basic research, private industry picks up the ball and makes these concepts everyday tools for you and me.
I am sure if you read my blog routinely (What? You don’t? Shame on you!), you can recall I often say that science fiction is just science and/or technology that hasn’t happened yet.
I always am amazed at the plethora of junk at the CVS checkout counter. (Yes, Rite-Aid and Walgreens also have the same gazillion candy bars and gums.) Not so much at the grocery store anymore. Oh, there’s the occasional National Enquirer, soda pop, and a few candy bars, but not as many or as wide a choice as before. This doesn’t include the fact that more and more folks are getting their groceries delivered (and don’t set foot into the store itself).
