The sequence with the baby raccoon that died after mom put it in a box and took it into the garage was pretty touching for a comic. It happens to be less than a week till we mark one year without our "wonder dog" LuAnn - she's still missed.

Thoughts about the inadequate amount of exercise the typical person gets at present (compared to hunter-gatherer societies), and how we might make exercise more necessary (required) and fun.

Discusses the myth that running wears out our knees, and the myth that older people are harmed by exercise. Also interesting comparison of two Donalds.

Discussing the possibility that human evolution was influenced by a need to cooperate to gather enough food to survive, causing us to reduce the amount that we fight. But also it could have been influenced by human development of weapons, making it possible to compete with much larger opponents with weapons rather than physical size.

Jan 6 and the big lie were covered by chapters 19-20. The supremes come off looking like the extremists the seem to be.

With one month to go to finish, I'm just marking this "read" (again) to keep the annual goal a little more clear.
