Since Christopher @kinderradfinder hinted on it: The black #GtAllTerra is back since about 3 months, after two years away, it's too small for the 12yo son, so my 9yo daughter is using it. We already did some changes (Odi grips, saddle and seatpost, better brakes from Nutt).

I used to study conspiracy theories because -- before social media -- they were *mostly* harmless. However, conspiracy thinking at scale, one form of *weaponized stupidity*, looks to be what will ultimately kill us all.
Still, this video is fucking funny. It is fun to watch anti-science happening in near real time.

Update for 12/29/2023!
Good Morning/Afternoon SARS2PAians!
I hope your holiday season is joyful and safe. ❤️️❄️❄️❄️
TL;DR: I'm going to do a lot of yelling in this, but I want you to have a GOOD new year and not a BAD one! ❤️️
Unfortunately there's no new VOC info from the Tableau site as it has not been updated since the 23rd. I'll try to make this issue with as much VOC data I can collect without it.
__________
VOCsRaj Rajnarayanan's Tableau data hasn't been updated since 12/23 so I'll try to make do with other sources.
Worldwide, JN.1 is absolutely the dominant variant/mutation set right now, even if it hasn't filtered through everywhere less populous yet.
Mike Honey's ( :fediverse: Fediverse: https://aus.social/@mike_honey_) Covid variant tracker tracker shows a strong crossover for JN.1 nationally.: https://ibb.co/0hTvz6P
JN.1 is horribly close to an estimated 50% of national sampling, after which we will know if it's going to cause a surge and not just take over the leaderboard. (There is no way something this fast will NOT cause a surge in my very very non-med non-stat-guy opinion.)
In PA, the JN.1 crossover is slower, steadier, but we have enough to deal with here because of the high numbers of RSV, Noro, etc.: https://ibb.co/FwJJbJF
Babies and the elderly are in particular danger from RSV. Don't spread it! Wear a quality respiratoir, stay home, and keep the air clean!
__________
WastewaterWastewater monitoring continues to be absolutely essential in tracking pathogens during this extrmely volatile season.
Nationally, C19 signal in wastewater keeps rising. We're not even started with this, folks. PLEASE use some source control in this high pathogen season.: https://ibb.co/tYQDWyh
Regionally, all regions rising, Northeast going almost vertical, and what I thought would be a nice respite in the Midwest is now also turning into a strong rise. 😓: https://ibb.co/q52nqDm
In PA, 5/11 sheds reporting current info to BIOBOT. Of those 5 sheds, all of them have a general trend of rising absolute baseline.: https://ibb.co/89xxPdk
Luzerne going VERTICAL and MontCo now matching national trend. Chester and Berks are really trying hard. Keep at it!! Source control will help everyone in the long run!
University Park now reports to WWSCAN (https://ibb.co/tbrzPg4), making it the third shed that reports there along with Dauphin and Chester. Here again you can see Chester trying to handle it, but the absolute baseline is still rising.
Dauphin and UPark sheds going vertical.
WastewaterSCAN also shows C19 levels as HIGH in all regions.: https://ibb.co/hst7ZRy
WWS also shows RSV (https://ibb.co/DDgpYfX) and Norovirus (https://ibb.co/NtYPX4G) (which is the "24 hour stomach bug" that is picked up from unclean surfaces like improperly washed restaurant flatware) as HIGH in all regions, with Noro high in our region.
__________
CDCLots of new hospital admits in Central PA excluding CentreCo.: https://ibb.co/G9WGKSc
Most counties holding steady for %change in bed use, but some counties showing significant increases: Fulton, Franklin, Luzerne, Wyoming, Columbia, Tioga.: https://ibb.co/sFZdmQL
ICU bed use rising significantly in a LOT of counties.
People NOT getting bivalent and XBB VACCINATIONS are going to make this skyrocket next month, foilks.: https://ibb.co/58whZh7
Significant rise in FranklinCo and counties West of there along the MD border; in the Northeast especially all north of Luzerne; Berks; Crawford and counties east of there.
Southwest corner of the State looks very good for now.
Stop this nuimber from going up, guys. Don't be part of this statistic. Get those vaccinations.
Also flu. Don't be that guy clogging up health facilities on others who also need them.
Diagnosed C19 Emergency admits rising in the Northeast and the South. Moderate increase in PA.: https://ibb.co/52SJX7G
___________
Side Note: Immune Dysregulation is Not NewPermanent immune system disability from pathogens is not unheard of, which is the actual reason measles is so deadly and not just its initial acute symptoms.: https://ibb.co/1mNvwq9
BBC link: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20211112-the-people-with-immune-amnesia
C19 also disables the immune system with each bout of it. REPEATED INFECTIONS DOES NOT HELP YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM. Your immune system is not a muscle and pathogens are not deadweights.
It's not just about acute symptome. We need to think long-term.
I hope your holiday celebrations are joyful with a focus on social contact tracing and source control. The fallout in January and February will not be as bad, folks!!
Stay safe! ❄️❄️❄️

My perfect potato latkes
I’m the potato latke maker in my family. I long ago stopped making them from a recipe; I just kind of wing it every time. However, given that we pretty much only make them on Chanukah, a year goes by between batches, and hard-earned lessons are forgotten. This blog posting is my attempt to capture my accumulated wisdom, fresh off a perfect batch of latkes, for the benefit of future me and anyone else who stumbles across it.
The stuff in bold below is particularly important to producing quality latkes.
Ingredients:
- yellow potatoes, not white, about six
- a large yellow onion
- matzah meal
- eggs
- salt and pepper
Instructions and observations:
- Grate the potatoes.
- Doing it by hand is better than using a food processor, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
- Squeeze excess water out of the grated potatoes.
- Method 1: Put them in a colander and squeeze them with your hands against the bottom and sides of the colander to press the water out through the holes.
- Method 2: Use cheese cloth.
- Start heating up the frying pan now, on medium-high heat with no oil in it.
- Peel and dice the onion and add it to the potatoes in a large bowl.
- Dicing is better than grating for the onion.
- Dicing is much better than a food processor for the onion.
- Add about a half inch of oil to the frying pan.
- Spread a thin layer of matzah meal on top of the potatoes and onion. It’s probably about a third of a cup total, but that’s just an estimate, I don’t measure.
- Sprinkle in about two teaspoons of salt. It’s hard to put in too much salt, don’t skimp.
- Sprinkle in about half a teaspoon of pepper.
- Add eggs as follows:
- Move the potato mixture to the side of the bowl to open up a space to beat the eggs.
- Crack four eggs into the space and beat them lightly with a fork.
- Mix everything together.
- The potatoes should be fully coated with egg. Add and mix in additional eggs as needed until you can see egg between the pieces of grated potato.
- Use a large flatware spoon (i.e., a “tablespoon” in the colloquial sense) to spoon the batter into the pan as follows.
- Put the latkes around the edge of the pan, leaving the middle empty.
- Leave about an inch of space between them.
- Use slightly heaping spoonfuls, like maybe an inch above the spoon. About the volume of a ping-pong ball. Small latkes cook better, don’t use too much batter.
- If the oil doesn’t bubble immediately when you drop the batter in, it’s not hot enough.
- Once you’ve spooned latkes all around the edge of the pan, use a fork to flatten them slightly.
- When the edges of the latkes are golden brown, flip them over carefully.
- Tongs or a spatula plus a fork will give you more control and splash less oil than just trying to use a spatula by itself.
- About a minute and a half after you flipped them over, use tongs or a fork to remove them from the oil and put them on a plate covered with a couple layers of paper towels for the excess oil to drain off.
- Unless you’re one or two rounds from the end of the batter, add a couple tablespoons of oil to the pan; each batch of latkes soaks up some of the oil and it needs to be replenished.
- Add new latkes to the oil if the salt and paper have already been adjusted properly as below.
- Otherwise, wait 10–15 seconds for the latkes on the paper towels to drain.
- Flip the previous batch over on the paper towels to drain the other side.
- If it’s one of the early batches, taste one of the latkes to see if you need to add more salt or pepper to the batter, add seasoning to taste, and add new latkes to the oil.
- If people aren’t going to eat them immediately, then you can put them in a pan in a 275°F oven to keep them hot and crispy until you’re ready to eat.
- Serve with sour cream, applesauce, and/or ketchup (yes, I’m a heathen, I eat my latkes with ketchup) depending on the diners’ tastes.

Serenity
Saturday, May 16, 2026
Hello, all. I didn’t have any exercise or other post ready for this weekend, so I thought I’d just share something pretty, and… serene. The day before, I had made the Night Cafe image above. ( I wrote the descriptive prompt “at twilight a harp stands beside a pond where two swans swim. The ruins of a monastery are in the background. Inspired by the style of Abraham Pether.” Okay, my description was a lot more detailed than that, but you get the idea.)
When I decided to include harp music with the image, I realized that I didn’t recall seeing any videos of men playing the harp. I went looking, and here are a few that I found.
Xavier de Maistre – Leyenda (Asturias) YouTube
The video below is Séamus Ó Flatharta at Ballintubber Abbey | Harp Day 2021
For fun (although it’s a pretty amazing rendition), let’s top things off with a Queen cover. Here’s Alexander Boldachev performing Bohemian Rapsody.
Oh heck, go ahead and read a romance novel now. I get it. Or maybe makeup one of your own… maybe set in Scotland of the 1800s where two people are reunited at sunrise, with an ancient abbey on the other side of a stream…
Thanks to my Night Cafe models. I hope your weekend is going well. Friendly comments are welcome. Hugs!
