And I totally did not read Atlantic, and was mystified about you passing on the question, which seemed really easy.

Thanks, Dean. I think that is probably a good source for your questions, as the Canadian ones in your newspapers are generally too, well, Canadian, for Americans, even though Trivial Pursuit is a game invented by Canadians.
Guesses for new set:
21. Robert Frost
22. hedgehogs
23. Diana
24. black; I know this from feeding giraffes at the Brownsville, TX, Zoo. It is a preservation of the species zoo, so it hosts many exotic species. The Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, TX, hatches more Galápagos land tortoises annually than do the Galápagos Islands. The 25 year old tortoises are only about 8-12" in diameter.
25. spinach
26. Whoa, good question. I'm going to say it was around 8-10 years ago, so maybe 2014.

Thanks, Dean. I tested negative for Covid just 5 days after first testing positive. I took the anti-viral pills, Paxlovid, and they were like a miracle drug. I knew to ask my doctor for them, and started taking them the second day after testing positive. I have been feeling just fine for four days now, am going for a PCR test tomorrow morning, and I am quite sure it will be negative.
Reminder to everybody: You MUST take the anti-virals within 5 days of first symptoms, so take a home test the very first day you wake up with a sore throat. And then take another one the next day.
Friend told me that as of last Wed., July 6, 2022, the CDC had authorized pharmacies to prescribe anti-virals. Thank you, CDC.

The questions come from a Canadian bookstore chain . When I use the ones from the newspaper I skip about 3 out of 10 of them as too Canadian for you two. There is another one every Sunday ,;but it is geared for Toronto citizens . I give it to a friend at the senior's club.
Glad you are on meds. two of my nephews and maybe a third as had covid as well as my niece and family including there 1year old. All okay now.
