Nope. Not by a long shot.
Do I watch TV? Nope. Do I give a pooh about videos? Nada. What do I love for entertainment? NPR and OPB on the radio. 91.5, I love you. Fridays from 12 to 1 are my favorite. I love Science Talk Friday on Talk of the Nation. Today we kicked off lunch with talk of geology and climate change; note to self: find book called "Revenge of Gaia" and read it slowly.
Lunch ended with a talk about mammoths and learning about them and evolution of species and how long it takes to evolve and what caused their extinction, etc. There are breakthroughs in how to find mitochondrial genomes and such and I loved it all. And I finally found out which epachiderm mammoths were most closely related to... Asian elephants. Ok, the study was actually done using mastadon DNA, but I guess it relates to mammoths as well. There was also talk of wooly rhinos, how very interesting. These findings are currently published in The Journal Science. I need a subscription ot that and National Geographic (my favorite).
Much talked about today was the situation in Myanmar again, of course. My heart still breaks for all of those there being brutalized, oppressed, and otherwised damaged because of bad people. all our advances and we still can't be civil. What are we worth?
