For two days, I kept track of the initials that I needed to know to make sense of the world. Here they are, all familiar, no doubt: HOA,, MRI, IED, CNN, EPA, FDA, DNA, OMB, ED, NBA, COVID, GPS, AWOL, PTSD, TCM, WTF, BPL, TIA, ETA, MST. Just two days. IK that there's a part of the brain that stores nouns; I wonder if humans will evolve to develop an area to store acronyms.

Apparently, we do have an area in our brains where we store four-letter words. In my case, the key that unlocks that area is a cortisone shot in the bottom of my foot.

Is TCM Turner Classic Movies? The miserable Comcast folks here yanked it. Does MRI refer to the scan? Echoing an old Dizzy Dean joke, I once had such a scan of my brain (after going deaf in one ear), and the doctors found nothing. HOA? OMB? CFDB? BPL? No MSNBC?
