Like right now you have a perfect storm for a sinus infection or pneumonia developing. The antibiotics will help prevent that, and may help you get better a bit quicker if a bacterial population has already started its thing. I'm allergic to sulfas (since infancy), Cephalexin, and Clindamycin. The latter I got hives while taking it in 2010 to treat cellulitis from a bee sting. The Keflex was a similar reaction (hives) back in the 1990s while treating "strep throat" where the dr. prescribed antibiotics but then the swab test came back negative, so I didn't need to be taking it at all. Interesting that it could be preventative prescription. The doctor didn't say that, he said it was to treat upper respiratory infection indicated by the fever, but either way... OK, fair enough. Thanks for the info.

Wife and I watched latest Black Mirror season and caught up on some others while doing a puzzle and drinking champagne and ranch waters -- lime juice, tequila and topo; it was a fun night.

I'm watching a show about Stonehenge, and everything "possibly holds religious or ritual significance." Is there anything in archeology that doesn't hold religious or ritual significance, because it sure as hell seems that way. Also my dog won't stop farting.

Almost any monument or structure that still exists today was built to last forever, so basically yes.

I wasn't really involved in the archaeology side (I did education) but that stands to reason. The further back you get the less dumb poo poo people carried around. If it's not a tool or a pot, it's probably a kids toy or religious item.

I spent three years in the UK as a teenager and my school did this work placement thing where you spent two weeks interning at a job. You could basically tell them any job you wanted and they'd set up an internship somewhere relevant. So I wound up doing two weeks with the Winchester Museums Service. I spent about a week moving old hosed up ugly corroded coins from tiny paper packets into tiny plastic packets and then copying over the data written on the old packets. That was actually kind of interesting, not because of the coins, but I was in a lab with other archaeologists doing stuff. One dude was like the world's foremost expert on roman-era roofing tile in the UK. He could take a tiny fragment of red ceramic, look at it for ten seconds under his microscope, and then tell you exactly where it came from. Like he knew the names of individual Roman roofing tile makers across a couple centuries of history and knew the exact characteristics of their roofing tiles well enough to not have to check references to be sure. And that was itself pretty useful because similar to coins, it lets you put a maximum age on the cess pit you're excavating; can't be any older than the youngest roofing tile bits you find in it. It also tells you things about the local economies, that people were buying and shipping roofing tiles from 100+ miles away even when locally-made tiles were also available, presumably for reasons of pricing, style, etc. Second week I spent on site. In the UK whenever they are going to knock down a building and build a new one in an old city (which is all of them), they pretty much have to let the archaeologists come on site and excavate the site before the new building goes up. So I got to help excavate a roman-era cesspit on the site of a new WH Smiths going up in downtown Winchester. It sounds gross but after a thousand years or more a cess pit is just soil, there's no smell or anything to it, and people lost all kinds of stuff into their toilets, including their pocket change, combs, belts, etc. It was cool learning how to use the equipment to find exact depths of layers, scraping away super thin layers of soil with a trowel, sifting through dried dirt looking for tiny fragments of bone, tile, etc. I never found anything particularly interesting, but it was still a great experience. Anyway point of all of this: yeah. Archaeologists get excited about finding out what people were eating, what kinds of diseases they were suffering from, when their roofing tiles were made, and all kinds of poo poo like that. But television shows about "the ancients" figure that stuff is way too boring to bother talking about. The closer they can edge towards suggesting, however obliquely, that human sacrifice was involved, the happier they are, because that's what gets the ratings. Failing that, at least some good hard slavery-built monuments, pagan beliefs, and violent wars will get the juices flowing nicely. None of this meticulously determining for how many years this storage room was in use by spending five weeks slowly scraping away every layer of dirt in it nonsense.

I have gone digging for fossils before. Trilobites suck and I'm glad I'm not a paleontologist. And one of my 2018 goals is to make sense of my dad's coin collection. So far I'm finding a lot of Roman coinage. He also has a lot of Filipino coins. The problem is that it's unorganized so I'm having trouble sorting everything. There are notes and documents but it's a drat mess. This is going to be a challenge for sure. Also I think I'm still dead from last night. Good NYE.
