When Mark and Mary and I spoke today, it went like this: \u00a0“Good morning, Charlie.”<\/p>\n
“Good afternoon, Mark.” \u00a0 “Good night, Mary.” \u00a08 am here. \u00a05 pm Riyadh. \u00a010 pm Singapore.<\/p>\n
Another interesting aspect here. \u00a0Solar weather can upset internet connections over global spans. \u00a0Felt like we may have had some today. \u00a0Mark’s connection seems to be the weakest of the three. \u00a0Whether that’s Saudi tech or Mark tech or, in this case, the sun itself, hard to say.<\/p>\n
Woolly brother Bill Schmidt down with a bad cold as the 2013 flu season begins to reach saturations last seen during the pandemic. \u00a0The older we get and the frailer we get, the more problematic the flu can become, a fact strongly underlined by the death of two healthy teenagers in Minnesota this season.<\/p>\n
