Alzheimer's gene mutationsAlthough this is addressing a specific set sufferers with the inherited gene, there’s no area I would like to see medical research advance more rapidly than Alzheimer’s. Two of my closest friends are going through various stages of Alzheimer’s now, and and pretty much everyone I know has someone at least relatively close to them who they have seen had to deal with dementia directly or indirectly.

Jesus God Nothey say you can’t edit your photo , which is true, but you can edit the background of the photo. I found some online tool to edit the texture out of the wall behind me, but didn’t alter my face. Unfortunately.

Jesus God NoAs an aside, I just renewed my passport about a month and a half ago and I was pleased that the online renewal process now seemed to work pretty well. I did not request the expedited process and it’s still only took about five weeks.
The only hard part was taking a qualifying photo. For some reason, my camera made it look like I’m an old man..

Gas pricesI had to drive to Los Angeles and back the last few days. Most places in the LA area was pretty close to six dollars a gallon. If you were foolish enough to run low anywhere along the eastern Sierras for about a 200 mile stretch it got close to eight dollars a gallon. Every place is over five dollars here at home.

What watch are you wearing?I started wearing a Fitbit watch that someone gave me as a retirement gift when I first retired about eight years ago. Not sure what message they were trying to tell me with that…
I like the measuring of physical activity and sleep, but want as few other smartphone features as possible.
Plus, I’m not one of you trust fund babies who can afford an Apple Watch…
