GREEN BANANAS
GREEN BANANAS It was noon-thirty and the frail woman pushed her cart down the produce aisle. She had just come from Church and Confession, as was her daily ritual. Those who knew her could not understand why she felt the need to go to confession as often as she did. She was the salt of the earth, and no one could picture her as a sinner.

Are These 7 Claims About Coconut Oil Fact or Fiction?
Some wellness gurus speak of coconut oil as if it was an elixir of the gods. They tell us to use it unabashedly in the kitchen and on our skin. They advise we put it in our smoothies, our morning coffee, and in all our baked goods. Use it on cuts in place of Neosporin; use it for moisturizer and on your hair.

The Science Behind Masks
Masks: They're about control, not microns Consensus is not science; science is not consensus – Michael Crichton. From the very beginning, it’s been a play on words; do masks stop the spread of covid-19, or are they effective against the spread of covid-19? A casual glance at these statements might tell you they are the same question. What’s the difference, right? Look again! A bulletproof vest will stop the penetration of most bullets. Meaning they will not go through the vest. At the same time, a phone book might just be effective against bullets. What would you feel safer with against your body, a bulletproof vest, or a phone book? In a public setting, with everyone wearing masks while maintaining a six-foot distance from each other, how easily is the virus transmitted? In a positive gravity environment, with little to no breeze/wind and not propelled by force, such as a cough or sneeze, roughly 2 meters is the distance droplets 60 to 100 microns will travel. That’s close to six feet. Sixty microns are enormous compared to .12 microns, which is the size of both the coronavirus and flu virus. What does that mean when comparing distances traveled? When launched at the same speed, such as hitting a golf ball and ping pong ball from a tee, the golf ball will travel much further despite its larger mass than the ping pong ball. Why? Friction. More precisely – air friction. When discussing particles the size of microns, air friction might as well be tar. Have you ever tried spitting into the wind (Jim Croce taught us that wasn’t a good idea)?
