Viruses have been around since the beginning of time. Historical data has proven this fact. But where did they originate? Did they begin as an aberation of our planets biome? Did they get deposited in our planets biome from galactic dust, comets or solar radiations? Were they simply mutations of early life processes of our own planet?

We may never know the answers to those questions but one thing is certain; a virus will probably spell the eventual extinction of the human race.

Global warming(whether you believe it or not), is man-made and is causing the melting of ice masses that are covering land masses in the far north. They call it perma-frost. As it melts it has the potential to release that deadly virus that has been frozen for millions of years under the ice. I think that will probably be the source of the extinction virus. A very scary proposition indeed!

Hundreds of Hobbies:

There are hundreds of hobbies to select. People have assorted interests and where to start can be puzzling. The easiest method to finding a hobby is to list what you like to do. If that list is too long; write an elimination list.

Review the list noting that there can be sub-categories for the main description. For example, the word gardening. This list will expand into different types of gardening; earth, water, chemical, hydroponics, aquatic, hydroponics, miniature, stone, flower, vegetables, exotic plants, butterfly, and other specialties. These terms can be broken down into further groupings.

To shorten this list, use the elimination list to erase the unwanted. Review the remaining items and make a selection.

Enjoy your newly selected hobby.
