Put this jigsaw puzzle together this afternoon and realized I had put up a post about the Canberra some time ago. That post pointed to the following video:

Trichinosis

I've always stuck to pork that is well done, but I've always kind of wondered about trichinosis. I've made a couple of inquiries over the years, but I never got any kind of a helpful answer. Now we've got a story in Willamette Week that explains the current situation. Seems trichinosis has been pretty much eradicated from the farmed pork supply. It still exists in wild animals, so you want to careful about eating that bear you just shot.

Dream

A young woman comes down from upstairs and tells me there is a problem with the skylight, something about a curtain or a vase, so I go upstairs with her and I see there is indeed a problem - there is a big hole in the roof. I get all the way up and I see that half of the roof along with the upstairs ceiling has been torn off. There is no debris to speak of, it's just all gone.
