gwydion* A Sudanese UN Doctor died of ebola in Germany. He was the second on his team to die and the third to be sent to an isolation ward in Germany. One of the others has recovered and the second is still being treated.
* It is looking like the naval gentleman probably hasn't ebola, but they are doing more tests just in case.
* The Supreme Court took action tonight to reopen 13 women's health Clinics Republicans ordered closed as part of their War on Women's health.

* Caveat: There is argument whether the Romans used lead for drinking water pipes or just for sewer pipes. Rest of it is pretty established. "The fatal attraction of lead:" http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-29568505

* Yesterday, when I went out to harvest my strawberries, and discovered some asshole had plucked them all between when I checked them the evening before and the afternoon. What asshole does that?
* The HOA has rules about decorations visible from the outside. We are now close enough to Halloween to do an outside display, but with the construction, I can't hang outside lights and decorations. I now have a window display in the main room and a ghost in the door, but I'm not going all out this year. I do have a collection of electric jack 'o Lanterns ready to go on the day at least.
