We get a break in the heat and there are at least some rain chances. A breeze out of the north feels very good. I've been reading about Monkeypox spreading rapidly. About 4000 cases in the US so far and a few hundred in Texas. I've never been keen on monkeys, my least favorite animal. I've never been a fan of anthropoids. This is, of course, another instance of a zoonotic disease, something that has made the jump from infecting non-human animals to human animals. Paul Ehrlich predicted there would be more and more of that going on, in his excellent book, THE POPULATION BOMB. He was, in general, quite prophetic. When a scientist makes a prophecy, they tend to get it right. When a non-scientist makes a prophecy, they are wrong 100% of the time. The smartest thing for a young couple to do: avoid having a child! Don't breed! Stop the idiocy now! Pressure from parents and grandparents? Tell them to bugger off. Your life, your decisions, your body. Do the right thing. Do the SMART thing. Don't breed. Enough already. That's actually the best thing you can do for posterity. You want to prosper? It's much easier if you don't fall into the family trap. If you must have a child, ADOPT!
