  Mark Powell was my Meteorology Teacher at Pierce College in Woodland Hills. He truly was a character, he made learning fun! I will never forget his shouting out a date and pointing at a student and saying "Solstice, or Equinox?" He was a classic!!

  The chronicle continues.... Delta variant sweeps through states that dialed back health powers The Delta strain of the coronavirus is racing across the country, driving a surge of new cases and hospitalizations. But local and state officials this time have fewer options to slow the spread. In Texas, where Covid hospitalizations are up 30 percent and deaths up 10 percent over the past week, Gov. Greg Abbott recently barred counties, cities and school districts from requiring masks. Montana did the same for vaccine and mask mandates, while letting local officials overrule health department orders. And Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose state accounts for one in five of new U.S. infections, asserted power to nix local health orders if he concludes they infringe on individual rights. Meanwhile, in related news... White House officials debate masking push as covid infections spike The talks are in a preliminary phase and their result could be as simple as new messaging from top White House officials. But some of the talks include officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who are separately examining whether to update their masking guidance, according to a Biden administration aide and a federal health official. Officials cautioned that any new formal guidance would have to come from the CDC, and they maintained that the White House has taken a hands-off approach with the agency to ensure they are not interfering with the work of scientists. But the high-level discussions reflect rising concerns across the administration about the threat of the delta variant and a renewed focus on what measures may need to be reintroduced to slow its spread.

  And ... just remember.... no matter where you go... there you are... Which completes our little home page tour. Although I still like Categories supplemented with Carousel - nice balanced hierarchy of cats while still keeping recent posts front and center for the drive thru consumers. That said, the Recent Carousel will be going away during future upgrades/makeovers. So that pretty much leaves "Recent" as the last of the mohicans left standing.
