WE ARE IN LAS VEGAS

We left Honolulu yesterday, and I had to transfer in San Francisco.

San Francisco Airport looks new and spiffy. Haven't been here in at least four years. The United Club is also nicer looking, but far too small. People need to wait to find a seat. I had a soup and beer, caught the flight to Las Vegas. Business class on United was terrible. The seat had no leg rest and reclined maybe two inches. Better than the next plane to Vegas which had no adjustment. Worst of all, I asked for peanuts or chips, and the steward said that I needed to go to their magazine and pay for ordering them. I said, isn't this business class? He said no, this is first class. United? Can you believe this?

The sun was setting, so after leaving Honolulu at 8:45AM, landed in Las Vegas at 9:30PM . A taxi to the Circa with tip would have cost around $50. Took Bell Trans for $20, with tip. The problem is that the van has other passengers heading for the Strip. Las Vegas Boulevard is undergoing repairs and is a total mess. Took around an hour and a half to reach downtown...but got some nice photos.

Finally, finally, Circa, which is in the "safe" corner of the Fremont Experience, a long bar facing the attraction.

Across the street from the Circa was the California Hotel. I was hungry, so had an oxtail soup with beer.

The Circa is gorgeous with a huge sport book room, and our room view is of the pool.

Woke up this morning to this view.

A NEXT COVID SUBVARIANT?

By now most know that the Omicron BA.5 subvariant has become the dominant infectious agent, now accounting for more than 80% of all COVID-19 cases. Very few are aware that a new one, BA.4.6, is sneaking in and steadily rising, now accounting for 13% of sequenced samples . However, as BA.4.6 has emerged from BA.4, while there is uncertainty, the scientific sense is that the latest bivalent booster targeting BA.4 and BA.5 should also be effective for this next threat. One concern is that Evusheld--the only monoclonal antibody authorized for COVID prevention in immunocompromised individuals--is not effective against BA.4.6. Here is a reference as to what this means. A series of two injections is involved. Evusheld was developed by British-Swedish company AstraZeneca, and is a t ixagevimab co-packaged with cilgavimab . More recently, Los Angeles County reported on subvariant BA.2.75.2 . which Tony Fauci termed suspicious and troublesome. This strain has also been spreading in

Part 3: OUR NEXT AROUND THE WORLD ODYSSEY

Before I get into my third, and final, part of this cruise series, let me start with some more newsworthy topics. Thursday was my pandemic day for years. Thus, every so often I return to bring you up to date on the latest developments. All these subvariants derived from that Omicron variant, and each quickly became dominant, with slightly different symptoms. One of these will shock you. There has been a significant decline in the lost of taste and smell. From two-thirds of early patients to now only 10-20% show these symptoms. JN.1, now the dominant subvariant, results in mostly mild symptoms. However, once JN.1 infects some, there seem to be longer-lasting symptoms. Clearly, the latest booster helps prevent contracting Covid. A competing subvariant, BA.2.86, also known as Pirola , a month ago made a run, but JN.1 prevailed. No variant in particular, but research has shown that some of you will begin to lose hair for several months. This is caused by stress more than anythi

HONOLULU TO SEATTLE

The story of the day is Hurricane Milton, now a Category 4 at 145 MPH, with a track that has moved further south and the eye projected to make landfall just south of Sarasota. Good news for Tampa, which is 73 miles north. Milton will crash into Florida as a Category 4, and is huge, so a lot of problems can still be expected in Tampa Bay with storm surge. If the eye had crossed into the state just north of Tampa, the damage would have been catastrophic. Milton is a fast-moving storm, currently at 17 MPH, so as bad as the rainfall will be over Florida, again, a blessing. The eye will make landfall around 10PM EDT today, and will move into the Atlantic Ocean north of Palm Bay Thursday morning. My first trip to Seattle was in June of 1962 just after I graduated from Stanford University. Caught a bus. Was called the Century 21 Exposition . Also the Seattle World's Fair. 10 million joined me on a six-month run. My first. These are held every five years, and there have only been
