Had a pretty nasty cough last week, took it down in about two days with lots of nyquil. Still have a bit of a dry cough but the worst is over. Received the key to the home I just bought, so I didn't really care. A bit more than a week before we drive out to live in it for a couple of weeks before returning to the life I plan to leave behind eventually. One of my better years, if I may say so myself.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
