  1. Wednesday's Covid numbers are at the bottom of the last thread. I'm running woefully late tonight.

    You'll notice that I chose not to highlight out front the anticipated 2nd insurrection.

  2. Wil has his first vaccine dose today (Thursday).
    My turn is the 9th (Tuesday).

    1. Note: Today’s official count is 112, yet the math says 199.
      I can’t account for the +87 difference. It is often off by 2 to maybe 12.
      The site does say:
      “All data are compiled by the Vermont Department of Health, and are preliminary and subject to change.”
      But, sheesh!

    2. Also, the % of recovered cases is starting to decrease and the number of active cases to increase, just a little. Watching that closely.

  4. I waved bye to Wil with the Vulcan "live long and prosper" salute, as he left to get his first dose of the vaccine. 😁

    1. Looked it up, gave it a try, no luck. No Vucan DNA, I guess.

    2. I'm happy to report all went well for Wil at the vaccination site. He told the nurse who gave him the shot that he hadn't taken his blood thinner today. She told him she's a cardiac nurse (what were the odds?!) and that he should go home and take it. (He did.)

      I'm also delighted to report that he got the Pfizer vaccine and he learned they will be using Pfizer next week too, when it's my turn. We are pleased about that as the next shot is just 3 weeks later instead of 4 with Moderna, which means we will get to see our kids and grands a week sooner!

      YAYYYY!!! 😃👍

    1. Nice video; I also enjoyed the announcer's accent--very easy to comprehend.

  6. Alan, don't feel left out. Leonard Nimoy couldn't do it either. He had to use his left hand to put his right hand into the salute.

  7. So far I have not discovered any reports of the Deified Donald descending in glory upon the Capitol steps. I even checked the Washington Examiner [which seems to have deteriorated considerably since I last looked at it, back in the administration of Bush the Younger].

  8. Only in Vermont...

    Here's the conversation on the VT ROADS Facebook page tonight:

    Couch/chair in the middle of on-ramp/regular driving lane on i89 in burlington north bound

    Did you call the police ?

    I called it in about 5 minutes ago

    what color? condition? does it recline?

    actually didn't look like it was in bad condition

    was it still literally in the middle of the lane? Lol. I had to almost stop to go around on the on ramp, and people in the right hand had to get into the passing lane to go around!! Crazy!

    Free?

    free delivery and pickup

    Was there an old guy with mittens sitting in it?

    [followed by someone posting a photo of a couch with Bernie sitting on it!]

    Is this still available?
