Most everyone of us understands the hate generated toward others because they are different and don't conform to society or an individual's rules. If one hasn't run into that person who would kill you in a heartbeat because you aren't what they demand all females and possibly many males must be to live in their world; you aren't trans, gay, lesbian, or you fit the kind of model who blends in real well to the norm. Protecting one's self or receiving protection from those who are supposedly protecting those who can't isn't always possible.

Turn your computer against COVID.

Your computer can turn its other-wise unused processing power to the fight against COVID. Researchers attacking COVID are turning to us, ordinary people, to supply some of the computing power.

The University of California at Berkeley offers “BOINC”, (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/), a science manager that runs in the background on your machine, managing research programs to fight COVID. These science research programs won’t hurt or slow your machine (they step aside when you use your machine.)

No Sunny This Week

There will be no chapter of Sunny: The Hippie Chick this Saturday. I have been very lazy this week. I hope to get one to Eric, my editor soon. Eric has been bailing me out recently, turning around chapters in increasingly shorter lead times, but this week I have fallen so far behind that I need to skip a week to catch up. I also hope to get another episode of Stone out, since it is nearing its end.

Without warning, Google, You Tube and some others are just gone. I tried a hard reboot and nothing. Much to my surprise, I have been able to get on line using MS EDGE. I think I saw a snipet about this but I ignored it at the time.

Is this permanent? Does anyone know what is happening?

Thanks
