"It's probably not smart to go out driving, you know? All I'm saying is, if you're planning on driving on the 71, you might want to wait until the tornado passes."

Awesome looking supercell.

Some nice late afternoon light on this female Northern Cardinal.

Striking to see an outdoor swimming pool that is open in early March in Sioux City, #Iowa. For context, just across the fence is a pond with ice in it. It’s a warm day and 50° F outside.

Wait for it.....Sound up

On Feb. 24, the third anniversary of Putin’s brutal illegal invasion of Ukraine, Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa spoke on the Senate floor to renounce Putin’s dream of re-establishing the Soviet empire. He directly called out Putin’s institutionalized corruption, murder of political opponents, imprisonment of his own citizens who criticize him and American citizens, and senseless deaths of hundreds of thousands of his own citizens in this war.

The neighbors’ dog showed up to help me fill the bird feeders with sunflower seeds. High temperature today was 5° F (-15° C), so the birds ate a lot of seeds.

Fine, a belated #introduction. Still searching for my people here. Encountering too many memes. I like levity in my timeline, but seldom like that. Where are the shitposters? The wise-crackers? The dry wits?

Interested in #film / #movies, #books (working on a project to get everything on my shelves read), #blogging, #vlogging, #birding, and #walking (boring).

Raised in #Iowa, live in #Chicago. Would love to find other folks here, but also interested in those in far-flung locales.

A good piece by Art Cullen on cancer rates in Iowa.
My home state has the 2nd-highest cancer rate and fastest-growing one in the U.S. Causes (alleged, in some cases): the most polluted waters in the U.S. - partly due to pesticides and mass-farm pollution, high rates of obesity and binge drinking.

@jeneralist

First of all "Right On!" 👍

I've been researching Diphtheria mortality in the US around the year 1900 for a book project. Not much data from the US but the UK data are there for death before age 5, all causes. I could find nothing more specific.

My medical family started with Dr. Willam A. Rohlf who graduated in 1891 from the original med school in Iowa City. He wrote a book late in life about his experiences. I put it up on the web in the 1990s.

He goes into much detail about diphtheria, the (then) new antitoxin, and treating the disease with it.

FYI to all who might be interested...
