We made an appointment at a medical clinic a few days ago to get blood work done in lieu of an annual physical. When we walked in the door, the attendants motioned for us to disinfect our hands at a stand by the wall with an alcohol-based cleanser, as is very common here. As I used it, I was surprised to hear a voice say, "Temperature Normal." in English. The voice was coming from a non-descript box mounted on the wall right by where your head is when you use the disinfectant. I might have mentioned this before, but I keep thinking about that gadget on the wall.
What an amazing gadget it is!!! Unobtrusive, non-invasive, automatic, pleasant, and terribly effective. I love that.
I just heard the Secretary of State in the U.S. say that there will be a smooth transition to a 2nd Trump administration, even though the result of the election is clearly a defeat for him. It has been clear for a couple of days, but Trump is incapable of admitting defeat. I have to admit that he makes me ashamed to be an American. This isn't why I served in the USMC. Coverage of gangs of Trump supporters carrying rifles makes me even more ashamed. People here tend to like Trump because he married a local woman, but they talk about him like a crazy uncle. Nobody around here thinks he should be President anymore. I agree.
