Just this morning, for example, I was on my way home from work (third-shift job), in the first snowstorm of the season for us here in Chicagoland- when, in the middle of a particularly dense zone of snowfall, the clouds above suddenly thinned enough that for about 1/2 a mile actual sunlight- about two-thirds full strength- was shining down on the area, with the large clouds of snowflakes still falling all around. Simultaneous sunshine and snowfall is a pretty rare combination in my experience, and it did provoke a "wow reaction" from me as I was driving. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Pills to stop strokes are great, yes- and on other medical fronts, have any of you heard about the new cancer treatments that work by inducing your body's immune system to attack the cancer cells as any other diseased cell? They seem to be very effective, and it makes one wonder how far off a real cure can be. Admittedly, each cancer has to be cured separately, in the sense of a traditional cure, since each one has different causes and expressions at the cellular and genetic level- but seriously, that's a huge step forward that I'll bet nobody was seriously envisioning even a decade or two ago.</blockquote>
