Edifice

Tiberius 

First over the Carthage wall

Rome's great hero 

But to a mob did fall

Treachery

Or mortality will eclipse us all

Achievement 

To nothing, the worms doth call

Yet strive to mark

Your history, build halls

Inspiring the next

Generation to stand tall

Clematis

alchemy of seeds

map of the joined nucleics

will pre-chill 'til birth

Personal Experience With Canned Oxygen Use For The Effects Of Wildfire Smoke

I noticed these oxygen cans at the local grocery store in the pharmacy department a month or two ago. Since the air quality has been degraded by wildfire smoke, I'd been suffering low level headache, bad fatigue, and brain fog.  I have noticed some relief since using it (along with Tiger Balm). They are a bit costly, around 17.00 a can this size, but since the smoke will be around for days, I felt it was worth the expense. It is 10 liters producing about 200 one-second inhalations. I am encouraging the family to use it as well. The label makes no claim of any ability to cure, treat or prevent any disease, it is sold as an athletic aid & is not medical grade. I did feel less crappy & a marked improvement in the brain fog, so if anyone else is suffering, I recommend it. Follow label directions & remember oxygen is flammable.
