Be careful when you follow the masses.
Sometimes the ‘M’ is silent.

It took more than 300,000 years after the Big Bang for the material in the universe to cool sufficiently for atoms to form.

The heat from the Big Bang is still warming parts of the universe today.

When it was first propounded by early astronomers, one of the earliest names for the Big Bang Theory was the Cosmic Egg Hypothesis.

Neutron stars are so dense that one teaspoonful of their matter would weigh more than every person on Earth combined.

The Sun loses one billion kilos of matter every single second.

A deep space phenomenon called a gamma-ray burst, or GRB, releases more energy in a few seconds than our Sun will in its entire lifetime.

Neptune was discovered in 1846, but it takes the planet 165 years to finish a single orbit of the Sun. It has only completed one entire orbit in all the time we have known about it.

There are starts in the universe that we will never be able to see.

The Sun accounts for 99% of all the mass in our solar system.

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, 202, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is distorted and blurry, but mostly it disappears and I have no depth perception. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive.

It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the presence of secondary cataracts. And the eye doctor referred  me for a laser treatment to deal with the problem. 

Now, here is where I screwed up, I assumed that secondary cataracts were the reason I was seeing the anomalies I had noticed, so I didn’t mention the waviness or reduced perception of colors. These are very significant early symptoms of AMD. If I had mentioned them it is very likely that much of my vision loss would have been prevented because treatments are available to reduce injury to the retina when signs of AMD are caught early. It is easy to suggest that my eye doctor should have asked if I, an octogenarian, had noticed any of the classic AMD symptoms, but in reality I should have been more pro-active and mentioned everything that I had noticed.

My advice to everyone is to not ignore any vision changes, no matter how minor they may seem. Losing a significant portion of your vision is no fun, but to learn that you could have prevented much of it is devastating. If you notice something, tell your eye doctor. Don’t expect him or her to figure it out.
Don’t do what I did. 

I can’t find the truth about the situation in Iran.

The Nautical Editor:   How are politicians like Clown Fish, LL ?

The I Am Immune Cat:   Clown Fish have developed a resistance from the toxins that Sea Anemone secrete to protect themselves.

The Clown Fish and Anemone have a symbiotic relationship.   Each gets some benefits from their partnership.

Politicians have the same relationship with other politicians and the media.    A few days ago this relationship broke down between degenerate HOR member Eric Swalwell, his Democrat politicians, and the media.

He experienced something similar to Joe Biden when everyone realized he had lost touch with reality.   The autopen was great until Joe was exposed during the debate.   He became a danger to the Democrat Party.
