Five Reasons to Die Without a Will--- NOT

Five Reasons to Die Without a Will: "I read this in the Fall 2003 World Ark from Heifer International Foundation and I really liked it. They say 7 out of 10 people die without a will which sounds like a frightening number. I can't believe people will pay $60 a month for cable TV but won't spend $100 to have a simple estate plan. The list may not be originally theirs, but it makes some good points:
Five Reasons to Die
Without a Will

1. The court can do a better job deciding how to disburse your assets than you can.

2. The court can choose a better personal representative to handle your estate during probate than you can.

3. The court can choose a more caring guardian for your minor children than you can.

4. The government will use your estate tax dollars more efficiently than your favorite charity would use a charitable bequest.

5. Your grieving loved ones will be better off looking after your affairs without your will.

On the Road - Polar Bear Club

The Odyssey

My first stop on the trip was Lake City. The AAA guide recommended the historic Desoto drugstore for lunch. It's a restored old fashioned store with a soda fountain, marble counters and those old fashioned pumps and electric mixers. They make milk shakes, banana splits and ice-cream sodas. Also, Lake City is a timber harvesting hub and a manufacturing center for pre-built homes. So if you ever wake up at three in the morning and need an ice-cream soda, a pre-built home, or a large dead tree, now you know where to go.

Hospital Super Bugs (and Solution?)

Dirty PCs fuel hospital super bugs | The Register

Published Thursday 26th May 2005 10:23 GMT

Scientists in the US have linked the spread of the hospital super bug MRSA to a sharp increase in the use of technology in hospitals.

Researchers working in hospitals have found that the deadly bacteria clings to the keys of the computer keyboards used to update patient records and therefore can re-infect the hands of staff even after they had washed their hands.

Solution?

Unotron: "Washable keyboards from Unotron are just that: washable. More than just a damp cloth across the surface of the keys, Unotron keyboards can withstand being run under a faucet. They are the first mass market PC keyboards certified washable to international IP66 and NEMA4X standards.

Features:

* Washable & easy-to-disinfect: Unotron keyboards can be sprayed with a disinfectant and then then rinsed thoroughly under running water."

This post is no joke.
