| Reporting that leaked out of China at the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024 showed the number of deaths experienced in China was very severe.

I watched Witness to the Mob on youtube this morning while waiting until it was time to take my blood thinner medication (Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism).
The high point of the movie was Abe Vigoda as the mobster Paul Castellano. |

| Another OpenBSD fan here. I've been using it for 25 years. My OpenBSD computers don't usually need any kind of graphical user interface. On my SuSE Linux workstation, I have xfce which works fine for me. Second place on my workstation is cinnamon. But I have no need for either or those on my OpenBSD... |

| I came close to being rounded up at a party and sent to jail. It was about 2 am on January 1 of that year (1974, I think) and my younger brother and I were headed home.
