Happy Mother’s Day!
For Monther’s Day on Sunday, we went out after church to one of my wife’s favorite restaurants in town: Mecha Noodle Bar. We love the bao, (little Chinese-style open sandwiches) especially the pork belly! My wife loves ramen, so she ordered something with chicken in a creamy broth with the 1,000-year-old egg. Normally I’m also eating noodles when I go to Mecha but this time I opted for a Laos-inspired crispy spicy pork plate. That was also delicious! And the boys were happy chomping on some bao and pieces of daikon, pork and chicken.
What did you do for Mother’s Day – if anything?
A movie I watched with my boy
The 2024 film Lost on a Mountain in Maine tells the true story of Donn Fendler, who in Summer of 1939, was separated from his family atop the famous Mount Katahdin deep in the Maine wilderness. The story itself is remarkable, highlighting a young boy’s real life fight to survive and the movie was gripping. It’s a good flick for a family movie night, even though it’s a bit intense at times. There’s a little blood in a couple scenes but it’s manageable, I’d say, even for kids.
A podcast I really enjoyed
Listening to Joe Rogan this past week, I learned who Hal Puthoff is and what he’s done in the world. Puthoff got started early in his career working with the CIA on research of remote viewing, a telepathic ability to “see” an object far away, like in another room, or country, or on the surface of Jupiter. The CIA and other interested parties used Puthoff and his team to serve national interests like find a downed Soviet plane holding important intel. His work naturally shifted to include work with extraterrestrial craft and technology. This is one of those oddly fascinating episodes; it’s packed with great information.
By the way, his remote viewing trials and operations are both well documented with evidence clearly showing not only is remote viewing possible and very accurate, but the ability can be found in a high portion of the general population.
Medical insurance is a scam
Wendell Potter is a former healthcare insurance executive who blew the whistle on CIGNA’s nasty operations. From denial of care leading to worsening health and death, to manipulating public opinion through lobbying and press releases, Potter walks listeners of the Jordan Harbinger podcast through the everyday crimes in which all the healthcare insurance companies are partaking, even now, even after the exposure of CIGNA’s practices. And they are really dirty practices.
This episode is worth a listen if you believe American healthcare needs an upgrade, particularly the billing and insurance.
