Whenever I submit a paper to the journals, I think of the line in Roger Zelazny's Isle of the Dead, of "casting jewels into the darkness." Maybe my papers aren't quite as impressive as creating new worlds, but I like 'em. This one I like quite a lot. But then I always do.

I did a naughty thing. It's been 5 months since I got the bivalent booster. Based on past data, one might expect that its powers should be waning. I'm traveling to Chile in a few weeks. So yesterday I asked the nice people at Safeway (who don't know me) for one. And here I am.

In the late 1980s I wrote some code doing assignments with the multi-fiber instrument Hydra. It clearly fell into the camp on the right in this xkcd. xkcd.com/2730/ It stopped working because I had put in a trap to exit if the date of planned observation was >=2000.
