    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    This has probably been mentioned but the best part about the mask is it makes you aware of your hand to face contact, and that is the main pathway to infection. If you're like me, you didn't realize how often you are itching your nose, rubbing your eyes, maybe gnawing on your nails, all after...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    My entire family caught the flu and passed it around to each other a couple of months ago. Luckily I was flying. LOL. But they were hurting! Bad! They tested pos for type A. My wife is at high risk for any kind of respiratory illness too, and she kicked it with no issues.

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    It's my opinion that this is exactly what we are dealing with.

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    I think the mask thing is part of the this whole first phase of opening up. Many stores where I live, like Costco are now requiring masks to enter, where 2 weeks ago they didn't. The only reason I've got a mask is because I've been into a doctors office a few weeks ago and they gave me one...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    I've actually enjoyed traveling since everything went crazy in February. It's been really easy getting around. I'm sure by Friday things will be a madhouse, maybe worse than normal. People will be making up for lost time. LOL

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    No one has batted an eye. No questions, nothing. Same ole', same ole', people sitting around enjoying their lattes and bagels, head buried in their phone. Most shops are closed except that marts and a few food places. I'll fly again on Friday, going from New Orleans to Seattle. I was even...

    Loss of endurance on Keto

    Thank you, and I'm truthful when I say I'll look you up and see what you're saying. You're probably right too, and in the end there's probably more that we would agree on than not. Not that I have any leg to stand on other than a bunch of reading and my own experience. I'm a re-work in progress.

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    Yes, I have been. I have to for work, constantly. I can choose not to, but unfortunately I've been a responsible, hard working and dependable person my whole life, and handouts don't come so easy for me it seems. So I go to work. I am lucky to have my job and probably get paid more than I'm...

    Loss of endurance on Keto

    Thank you for not taking me the wrong way. It wasn't a shot at any particular nutritionist. I just get fired up sometimes when people start throwing credentials around, not because I think they aren't credible, but because different nutritionists and doctors argue the virtues and science of...

    Loss of endurance on Keto

    I'm out of the country right now, so I will probably start with the podcast. I'll do my best to find it. And I never meant to suggest that YOU receive anything "corrupt". And I have found what works for me, as well as my wife, going from doctors who also study, and have credentials, and would...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    Maybe safe to say it's less deadly, but kills more people, which doesn't make a lot of sense. Given the choice between the two, I'd take my chances with the COVID-19 considering the 4 people I've communicated with that had it said it was a piece of cake, and the flu usually hurts everyone who...

    Loss of endurance on Keto

    Yes, and when I finally committed to ketosis, I did suffer. I suffered at work, in the gym, on the bike and on the trail for a while. It took a solid 2 months to get to where I left off. That was ketosis, but that's not the condition that all the advocates are talking about. I dabbled with...

    Loss of endurance on Keto

    I'm not a nutritionist but was an endurance athlete for quite a while. If you research where funds come from that support most nutrition related education, you just might trace it right to someplace like General Mills or Nabisco, companies that lobby to the FDA, meanwhile those agencies are...

    Boredom, favorite Band / Song

    Been on a Sturgill Simpson kick lately. First 2 albums. Not sure what he was smoking on his last one, but check em' out if you haven't already. Good, vintage sounding stuff.

    Loss of endurance on Keto

    The Keto Diet is definitely the fad right now, no doubt, but when done right it is a good diet, and a very complete one. It's a very natural diet as well. It's interesting to look at the history of the human diet and the history of produce as you know it today, and how none of it existed in...

    Boredom, favorite Band / Song

    After listening to a huge variety of rock and extreme metal, Tool is a boring band for me. My 12 year old can tab most of their songs on a guitar in about 5 minutes of looking. They did some cool stuff I guess, but just not my flavor.

    Boredom, favorite Band / Song

    Forgot about this one. Listened to it so many times, I just haven't in a while. One of the absolute greatest songs ever!

    Boredom, favorite Band / Song

    Country - Dwight Yoakum - 1000 miles (not "1000 miles from nowhere") and a thousand other songs from the era. Love the sounds that came out of Bakersfield back then...Merle, Buck and all that. Classic rock - Almond Brothers - Midnight Rider and a thousand other songs from the era. Metal -...
