This menu, on the wall at a Discount Smoke Shop in Winchester, MO, shows 312 vape flavors.
But that's not all. Dude behind the counter told me that he could blend any 2 or 3 flavors if I couldn't pick just one.
Only in America.
Next on my list is Pumpkin Pie w/Whipped Cream, mixed with Rocky Road and Root Beer Float. My lungs love sweets.
According to this website: https://ourworldindata.org/births-and-deaths
Worldwide births are at around 140 million per year.
Worldwide deaths are at around 60 million per year.
So it takes very little imagination to imagine that the world population is growing by 80 million per year.
As a side issue, there is this: COVID deaths are running around 3 million per year. Which is a pretty small (about 5%) percentage of overall deaths. Surprisingly small, for me anyway.

The "my god is better than your god" mindset just boggles me.
I am going to explain why medical costs are outrageous.
Four stitches in my hand. Went to my orthopedic surgeon's office to have them removed 17 days after carpal tunnel surgery (see my May 21, 2021 blog entry).
Medical assistant Kim carefully disinfected the area with iodine(?) and alcohol. Then she took these tools (see photo) out of their sterile packaging and used them for 90 seconds. She said they don't re-use the tools, so she gave them to me.
OK, so you have a 3-way switch to control the ceiling light in your hallway. Coming from your family room, you flip the switch to turn it on. At your bedroom door, you flip another switch to turn the hall light off. Simple.
You don’t care whether you flip either of those switches up or down, you just flip it to the opposite setting you found it in.
Depending on who installed those switches, you could find that both switches down results in the hall light being ON or OFF. That guy probably didn’t care which way it would be, just like you don’t care.
I care.
I have installed a fair number of such 3-way switches over the years, and I always make sure that if both switches are down, the light is OFF. If one switch is up and the other down, then the light is ON. It’s just a thing for me. Is that OCD or just anal?
The maple tree that so well shields our deck from sun grows a billion leaves every spring. In the fall, the aged and decrepit leaves lose all their greenness as well as their will to live. That's what is normal.
Now and then I see abnormalities, like this guy:
I can't get him out of my mind. Dropping dead at such a tender age. It's barely June.
What kind of trauma did the guy suffer? These guys have birds shitting on them all day long and do just fine, or maybe thrive.
In the absence of other data, I'm going to say that Facebook is to blame. Other leaves on the same branch heckled, mocked, criticized, derided, and made fun of him until he just couldn't take it anymore.
