Hospitalizations are at about 5500 per day.  Deaths are just below 400 per day. Continue reading Post #1575: COVID-19, now 28 new cases per 100K per day, and current all-causes mortality data.

Post G22-055, Crock Pot crackpot.

 

Of squash and men.

As of this writing, I have the delightful problem of having almost too much summer squash.  Accordingly, this morning’s chore was to put together a squash-and-tomato casserole in the Crock Pot®.  Where it is simmering away right now.
