NY is having a bad flu season. More hospitalizations last week than any week on record. Health authorities are encouraging everyone aged 6mo+ to get the flu vax (it's not too late). Find a provider here: on.nyc.gov/getvaccinated. You can filter for sites where there's no cost for the uninsured.

Are you a mistake in my history, because I can't get you off my mind?

It is with some trepidation that I mention that "don't inject poppers" is advice I have given in a professional context. No seriously, don't drink or inject poppers, you can get very ill or die.

I see the Brexit-backing owner of Dyson, who offshored himself and the firm for tax reasons, is moaning about having to pay tax on the extensive farmland that he bought here as a way to avoid inheritance tax. Hang on. I'll find my violin.

Do I know anyone who knows about judging houses as solar suitable. My father believes his house isn't suitable for solar because he was told it was too shaded. But I suspect this advice was 20 years ago, and the cost structures have shifted a lot.

Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year. Im sure there will be no issues there at all.
