Some happy thoughts

As we hurtle to a government shut-down, I feel the need to point out some happy things.

Los Angeles will experience another Ciclavia this Sunday, October 6.  Come bicycle or walk around downtown LA without cars.

Tanaka Farms is hosting their annual Fall CSA day for CSA subscribers on Saturday October 5.  Subscribe and you and your family can join the Tanaka family to celebrate the fall harvest.

The Affordable Care Act will go into effect tomorrow.  Read what the available evidence really says in Obamacare, the Oregon Experiment, and Medicaid at Science-Based Medicine.

Medicaid coverage decreased the probability of a positive screening for depression (−9.15 percentage points; 95% confidence interval, −16.70 to −1.60; P = 0.02), increased the use of many preventive services, and nearly eliminated catastrophic out-of-pocket medical expenditures.

I've been swamped performing family work, recovering from family work, and applying for market (paying) work.  But, I hope to write something tomorrow about the connection between Cinderelmo and geomagnetism/geophysics.  It's something I doubt you'll ever read in the main-stream media (MSM) to cover, but I hope you will find it informative and uplifting.
