According to the BBC, a study by a US team for the Journal of Neuroinflammation, has shown that caffeine may cut the risk of dementia by blocking the risk cholesterol can inflict on the body. UK experts said it was the "best evidence yet" of coffee's benefits.

While the study is about rabbits, and how a barrier between the brain and their main blood supply was protected when they were given caffeine supplements, all the programmers out there living on their coffee, can rest a bit easier.

I felt so fortunate to see the lunar eclipse last night.  A beautiful clear night.  I even managed to get a couple of pics.

I couldn't believe it.  We just had another flood that was high enough to put water in our street.  That means that many of the downtown businesses in Findlay, Ohio had water inside them.  Rather than try to correct what is becoming a frequent problem, the City if Findlay decided to build a shopping center right smack in the floodplain.

I put an aerial photo of the shopping center property during our August flood on www.findlaywisdom.com. I hope to get some ground shots I took yesterday on the website shortly.
