Aerosol in Flight

This flight to Kuala Lumpur was the first time I had ever observed a flight attendant spraying an aerosol in the cabin mid-flight. With a bit of research, I learned that this is actually a mandated practice known as "aircraft disinfection."



The product used was Aero-Sense ASD-100, a specialized, commercial-grade aircraft insecticide. Many international aviation regulations require airlines to spray this product on specific routes to eliminate hitchhiking insects, ultimately preventing the spread of diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and yellow fever. 


According to public health and aviation data, the formula is considered extremely safe for passengers. Still, who am I to question the experts?

I want nothing

But the ability to travel in time To witness once again The birth of my daughters To lay in a rapid flowing river Listening to the rhythms and melodies Feeling its energies against my skin A refrigerator with foods I enjoy Grapes, mangoes, oranges, etc. Ice cream and chocolate To follow my desires No matter where they take me Even if they’re contrary to what I've been taught To remember my dreams So that I can enjoy The similarities of both worlds Embrace a friend Who finds me totally irresistible   And has a smile that leads to euphoria   To communicate with my mother Even when she meets her maker So that I know that God’s ok Walk up and down an escalator   And have no one in front of me Wake up in another world   And not be all at surprised To find my friend there as well To access a wormhole So that I can travel wherever I want In this large and expanding universe Wouldn’t that be amazing!

Ibronka and the Demon

Image
In a remote village lived a girl called Pretty Maid Ibronka. Though she was the most beautiful girl in the valley, she had no sweetheart. While her sisters sewed, surrounded by admirers, Ibronka sat alone. One night, in a fit of loneliness, she cried out, "If only I had a lover! I wouldn't care if he were the devil himself." After midnight, the door swung open. A handsome stranger entered, smiling at the company before sitting beside Ibronka. He was charming, yet when Ibronka dropped her bobbin and reached to retrieve it, her fingers brushed something hard and cleft. Startled, she pulled back, but the man calmly scooped up the tool and returned it with a smile. Dismissing her fear as a mistake, she allowed him to embrace her when he left. Troubled the next morning, Ibronka sought the village wise woman. "To find the truth," the woman advised, "attach a spool of thread to his cloak as he leaves. Follow it."  That night, Ibronka followed the silver tra...

Sister Elizabeth Kenny

Elizabeth Kenny was a self-trained Australian nurse whose unconventional methods revolutionized polio treatment and laid the foundation for modern physical therapy. Despite receiving only a few years of formal schooling, her medical journey began at age 17 after a horse-riding accident led her to study anatomy under her physician, Dr. McDonnell. He would become her lifelong mentor. In 1912, after years of self-study, Kenny opened St. Canice's clinic, offering midwifery and restorative services. It was here she first treated infantile paralysis (polio) by applying hot woolen compresses to relax tight muscles—a sharp departure from the era's standard of rigid bracing. When World War I broke out, Kenny was initially rejected for military service due to her lack of formal qualifications. However, with a recommendation from Dr. McDonnell, she served as a nurse aboard the HMAT Suevic. By 1917, she earned the title of "Sister" (equivalent to a 1st lieutenant) and was honor...
