Groceries, the market and another quiet day

 The local market opened last week and we attended this week and found lovely local vegetables there plus the grocery store completed our hunt for food that we wanted. With two of us food is more expensive but we still buy pretty basic preparing everything we eat primarily from scratch. I do not like a lot of salt in my food so eliminates most commercial preparations. Although I would say that salt is a good preservative. It makes an interesting diversion in my year for sure though but I get very little work done this time of year. 

A few more of the Gedmatch matches sorted into my database leaving perhaps  nine still to work on and then I move to Living DNA. There are a lot of matches there for sure and they will likely be heavier on the side of British Isles people testing. Still no more news on the 23 and Me purchase and I am excited to think perhaps we will have person to person matching again. Time will tell. 23 and Me was an extremely good site and I really consider the invasion of that database to be terrorism and hope that the criminals are caught and punished to the full extent of the law. 

Other than that I did absolutely no work at all but the days move quickly as we get prepared for summer. My daughter deep into research these days which is nice to see. Research is the backbone of our existence as a people on this planet and each researcher brings to the table their skill sets and one never really knows which skill set is going to move us ahead each time. 

The Gold Dome is still creating interest around the globe. Considering the chances of a meteor strike always exist working on the dome is in everyone's interest actually. But as usual we have the people who are only interested in dominating the globe trying to destroy the idea. One is left with the impression that they fear the dome but really if you do not attack another country than you have no fear. The world would be better off if everyone was friendly rather than selfish and demanding and in some cases satanic like the Russians and Hamas/Hezbollah/Houthis along with Iran their funder. 

Tea drank, solitaire puzzles completed and just waiting for the fitbit to finish charging to 100% for another five day run. Must get a new one one of these days but it still seems to work well. I am going to look for a new computer though as Windows 10 is going archaic!
