Read More Video of the Limon TalkBy Charlie Johnston The Covid Virus is like a very weak predator which is murderously aggressive, preying ruthlessly on the weak, slow-moving immune systems of the old and vulnerable while barely bothering with the faster-moving systems of the young and healthy.

On the road, since I rarely get more than four hours of uninterrupted concentration, my posts can be few and far between. I am going to try to change that up.

Read More A Few Changes and a Soothing BalmBy Charlie Johnston I figured I would share a few pictures and notes from my travels today. Right now, I am in Manchester, New Hampshire, preparing to head out to the Albany area, where I will speak tomorrow night (Wednesday, June 19) at 6:30 p.m. at the Knight’s Hall in Queensbury.
