Fools Rush In
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

Eating boogers may boost immunity, scientist suspects
By Ryan Jaslow
/ CBS News
Parents, next time you see your child picking his or her nose you may want to fight the urge to scream "stop!". A Canadian biochemist is making waves with a new theory that picking your nose -- and eating it -- may be an evolutionarily-backed way to boost your immune system's protective powers.
And, he hopes to conduct a study to prove it, CBC News in Canada reports.
Scott Napper, an associate professor of biochemistry at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, told CTV News in Saskatoon that he proposed this theory one day while teaching a classroom full of bored college students.
He said almost all kids try to taste things that come out of their noses, and its possible nature is trying to push them to adopt this behavior.
"I got their attention by saying that's why snot tastes so sweet. And a lot of them were nodding along like they agreed, but not really realizing what they had acknowledged," he told the station, laughing.

SUNDAY TALKING - 03-17-2024
Happy St. Patrick's day 2024.
Happy Birthday to my big brother Jim.
This week my grandson Ryan and his dog Maverick came to visit me.
Yesterday my son Tandy came to visit me and to repair a hole in my shower stall.
Frank helped herd the chickens with me this week.
Plus we went to the Afton Swap Meet and got to see folks riding this camel.
This week I have tried to eat only soft foods. My tooth hurts on the left side from dental work and on the right side from cracking a tooth from biting on something hard. See the dentist tomorrow.
Dallas Seavey won the 2024 IDITAROD. This was his 6th win and it is historic. Hooray for Dallas!
My favorites: Jessie Holmes placed 3rd. Mille Prosild placed 7th. Rookie Anna Hennessey placed 24th

SUNDAY TALKING...
The Iditarod 2024 only has a couple of days to go. I always have my picks and unless their dogs take over with the speed of Balto they won't win. They have made some great strides however and I am proud of them. How can anyone do this? My picks have been Mille Porsild of Denmark to win and Anna Hennesey to win Rookie of the Year. The guy I follow is Jessie Holmes and it looks like he just might win the 1st place crown.
Do you all know who Balto is?
