History Facts lists eight names US parents no longer give their newborns, which you may no longer hear in Virginia. The girls' names are Doris, Gertrude, Mildred, and Judith. I know or have known women with all four names, but they are either baby boomers or boomer parents' ages and someone's grandma or great aunt. Consider the ages of females in Virginia you know with these names.

While minor in the scheme of things, I find this to be incredibly annoying…. Yesterday I called American Airlines for the first time in weeks, and heard a phone prompt I hadn’t heard before. I didn’t think much of it at the time, and figured maybe my call just wasn’t routed correctly, or something. But nope, this is apparently something new, as reported by View from the Wing.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
