It's in draft
But it's super academic and nerdy. War nerdy, anyway. It's a book on national strategy development as influenced by Clausewitz, Huntington, and Mahan.
Oops! I wasn't clear...after that 3rd of February.
But your 3rd book sounds interesting.
Nerdy? I don't mind reading 100 page SCOTUS decisions.

"Dimensions: Roughly 190 miles (E-W) by 110 miles (N-S). "
Round trip commute for some people.

"If you look at the blue areas, around the world..."
What - the places where the Democrats are in control?
From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_zone
"The name blue zones derived simply during the original survey by scientists, who "used a blue pen on a map to mark the villages with long-lived population.""
also
"The concept of blue zone communities having exceptional longevity has been challenged by the absence of evidence.[2][4]
It has also been questioned by the substantial decline of life expectancy during the 21st century in Okinawa, with the analysis concluding that "male longevity is now ranked 26th among the 47 prefectures of Japan".[2][5] Michel Poulain, one of the authors of the original paper about blue zones, conducted a study in 2011 to validate the claims of longevity in Okinawa, and was unable to verify whether residents were as old as they reported due to many records not surviving World War II.[8]
In 2023, Okinawa ranked only 42nd among Japan's 47 prefectures in terms of life expectancy. Okinawa has become the only prefecture in Japan where life expectancy has decreased over the past 10 years amid overall growth.[14]
Costa Rica's "blue zone" is questioned, apparently resulting from a cohort effect.[6]
Harriet Hall, writing for Science-Based Medicine, stated that there are no controlled studies of elderly people in the blue zones, and that blue zone diets are based on speculation, not evidence through a rigorous scientific method.[4]"

Even the bible says to, “take a little wine for the sake of thy stomach.”
Ecclesiasticus 31:
Do not aim to be valiant over wine, for wine has destroyed many.
Fire and water prove[i] the temper of steel, so wine tests hearts in th strife of the proud.
Wine is like life to men, if you drink it in moderation.
What is life to a man who is without wine? It has been created to make men glad.
Wine drunk in season and temperately is rejoicing of heart and gladness of soul.
Wine drunk to excess is bitterness of soul, with provocation and stumbling.
Drunkenness increases the anger of a fool to his injury, reducing his strength and adding wounds.
Do not reprove your neighbor at a banquet of wine, and do not despise him in his merrymaking; speak no word of reproach to him, and do not afflict him by making demands of him.

"The new guidelines -- which also urge Americans to eat whole foods, incorporate healthy fats, prioritize protein-rich meals and consume full-fat dairy with no added sugars."
You mean, use common sense? Eat healthy foods and avoid bot junk foods and fad diets? Pretty much guarantees that a certain class of people will now go to TikTok to show them eating nothing but Twinkies, bleached white flour, deep fried Snickers,and sticks of margarine.
Alcohol? I used to have watered wine with dinner. A bottle of scotch lasts us a year or more. We did go through a bottle of Kraken Dark Rum in 3 months. We got it to do some baking and found it good in coffee and tea. Only about 2 TBS in 12 oz. But 2 cups of that in the evening was relaxing. And just enough to ease the pain of my sciatica.
But, I've ignored the "experts" on food since the late 1970s when the "if it tastes good don't eat it" craze took hold. And you could almost set your watch on the regularity of the flip-flops on what was and wasn't good for you.

You nailed it. Is this something only some denominations use or is it something I just never noticed before?
By the way, thanks.
It didn't take any big leap of reasoning to guess what your question was. "He knows that I'm Orthodox, he must have a question about the 3-Bar Cross."
That's the most commonly used Cross. Next are

Here's the one that I've worn for many years.

About crosses.
Ask!
ADDED:
Just a random guess at the question.
The short top bar is the superscription "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews"
Long bar is the piece to which His hands were nailed.
The tilted bar at the bottom is the bar to which His feet were nailed.
It's tilted, the right side up, towards Dimas, the Wise Thief, showing his repentance and entry to Heaven. The Mocking Thief, Gestas, is on the left, with his condemnation shown by the downward pointing side.

There are places where more trains and busses would be useful
About 25 years ago I had to use public transportation here. It took an hour and a half to get to work, which was at most a half hour if I drove. If I missed the bus, or couldn't get on because it was full, I had to wait 45 minutes for the next one.

Have any of you read the text of the bill?
It's mostly about using tax dollars to improve mass transit, bike paths, pedestrian paths and the like. I can see making mass transit better so it doesn't take 4 hours on mass transit for a half hour round trip if you drive. That might encourage more people to use it. Bike and pedestrian paths are a waste of tax dollars.
Nowhere did I see anything like what the subject line implies, "Ten miles per day is thy allotted distance, and thou shalt be fined $20 per foot for any distance in excess of that."
I did look up right to travel. There are some interesting citations here:

It's amazing how much moisture there is in onions and how much they cook down. The pot was full to the brim with sliced onions when I started. A little butter in the pot over low heat, and a healthy pinch of salt over the onions.
After about 40 minutes, with frequent stirring, and the last 10 minutes of constant stirring, it was down to this
Added some turkey stock, some chicken stock, and beef bouillon.

One of my favorite movies and was "Introducing Bob Newhart."
The writers and director didn't want him. The studio execs insisted because he was hitting his stride as a stand up comic, especially his telephone routine.
