When the Doctor was last seen here, he had bid a bittersweet farewell to his traveling companion, Sarah Jane Smith. The reason for the parting was that he had been called back to Gallifrey, the home planet of the Time Lords. Which is where we find him now.
Sleeping Sickness
This is my second cold in six months. Both times came after being indoors, in a crowded public place, with many people. No surprise there. As then, I checked for Covid with a negative result.
Yesterday, I must have slept 16 hours. Today, I’m on track for doing the same. This afternoon I’m finally starting to feel better.
In other personal medical news, there’s that pre-cancerous spot on my ankle. Here’s how it looked shortly after being treated with liquid nitrogen, and how it looks now. Which is pretty much how it looked when I first showed it to the dermatologist.
P.S. Colleen Doran reports that she’s tested positive for Covid after appearing at GalaxyCon in Richmond. It seems these formerly seasonal viruses have become a year-round threat.

Musk offers to pay TSA salaries, as Trump floats ICE at airports

The fact that Musk is able to realistically make this offer says something significant about the concentration of wealth in America.
Trump is setting a high bar with his typically hyperbolic threat to deploy ICE agents to airports, “where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before.” Really? I was once held at gunpoint in a windowless room by airport security in Saudi Arabia.
Permission Granted
Trump posted on social media about Mueller’s death: “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead.”

Good to know. Now I won’t be reluctant to say the same thing about Trump when he’s dead.
Made Elsewhere
As Trump continues his boastful lies about manufacturing jobs, they continue to decline in America.
Shiver Me Timbers
Following up on my NH-acquired cold, last night I started feeling cold. I just couldn’t get warm then, just as I was going to bed, the uncontrollable shivering hit. It pulled a muscle in my thigh so hard that this morning I had to rub it to walk without a limp. I was hoping to see Project Hail Mary today, but that isn’t going to happen.
