This week I need to get

to a Doctor. I have this rash that's just under my left ear below the neck It's not painful like Shingles or anything but it is annoying. About 5am before bed, I applied some of that psoriasis ointment to it. I need about 3 applications to clear up even forehead psoriasis. If this isn't cleared up by Wednesday, Thursday I'll go to the walk in clinic. It's one bus ride there and back. 

Lithium battery news has been trending. These lithium batteries are ubiqutious but more especially in things like cell phones tablets that sort of thing. A few days ago there were several fires in Calgary caused by eScooters. The over heating process is called thermal runway.



Two homes in Calgary were affected by eScooters parked to the house. How common is it for cell phones and tablets to catch fire? Google says, "While billions of smartphones and tablets are in daily use, actual fires or explosions are statistically uncommon. When incidents do occur, they usually involve external factors like physical drops, uncertified accessories, or severe battery degradation rather than spontaneous combustion. For instance, a CBC report on Health Canada data noted a relatively small number of reported phone and accessory fires nationwide over a multi-year period compared to the massive volume of active devices. Lithium batteries are a problem.

Tonight it's Monday nite Raw in the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. Next week it's coming here. Not sure which brand, Red or Blue. I remember JT, Don Brown his roommate and I went to see a WWF event here in Edmonton. That was in 1990. Tickets were between $10-$20. These days tickets in Rogers place arena are between $104-$123 baseline. Inflation or just TKO greed? Anyway, that's all for now.
