This morning I turned on my computer, fired up Twitter and started running through the feeds to see what I missed after spending an entire long weekend in my shop building a fish-tank stand. For likely five years I have been looking at my wife's 75 gallon fish tank sitting on the fireplace hearth. I guess it looked alright there but makes using the fireplace a bit of a problem. I had a vision of it on a shelf built into a hole in the wall so that you can see it from both the living room and the kitchen. I am no idiot, I was well aware of the size of the project. That's why it remained a vision for five years. Listening to my favorite radio duo making plans to do some minor reno's got me motivated. As of Monday night all that is left is for my wife to move the tank! Three days of demolition, carpentry and cabinetry, staining, painting and sanding left me with little time for social media. I even missed my radio show on Monday, first time in over a year.
I almost headed straight back into my shop when I started reading the news feeds. A 19.5% increase in Measles in the US in one week! Every media source I looked at had some news about the number of people not having their children vaccinated. A doctor's office refusing to allow patients into the office if they haven't been vaccinated or if they suspected Measles like symptoms.
