Completely amazing rain coming down. Don't see Florida rain in Maine often. And it doesn't even fall mainly on the plain. Because there is no plain in Maine. Sorry to be a pain.
I'm watching World War Z which NETFLIX was so gracious as to let me know was available. Considering the last twenty movies I looked for on NETFLIX weren't available to stream.
I hate that device lazy writers use anytime they are writing about dystopian or post-apocalyptic scenarios.
There is always one kid who has asthma and loses their inhaler. Or one with horrible allergic reactions to whatever. So while running from/fighting bad guys/monsters/werewolves/zombies they have the kid go all "I can't breathe now" just to add to the stress of the situation.
It's almost like they have a "asthmatic kid" yellow sticky they have to put on the story board. And always have some magical way to find an inhaler or a epi pen.
A few days ago I was watching "House" and he had a conniption about MRSA and all the human accidently bred resistant infections.
"We did this" he said. "There is antibacterial soap in every room and we prescribe the strongest medicines we can and are surprised that now our little bacterial babies are all grown up, have body piercings and tattoos and anger issues."
The writing on that show was just fantastic.
Part of the epidemic of asthma is mommies fault. Keep your kid inside in the most sterile environment you can. Don't let them be a kid, or play in the dirt - much less eat the dirt.
You get a generational confluence that creates kids who can't survive where the human race survived for millions of years.
I wonder the effect on natural selection. 500 years ago it is unlikely my daughter would have survived to almost 21. She had the best health care available.
Likewise it is unlikely I would have made it to 51. I had the benefit of immunization, and evolving nutritional information - and thus I didn't grow up on pickled fish.
As a race are we our own worst enemy?
