The last days of warm weather = last days of holidays.  And as soon as the holidays are over the children go back to school.  And as soon as the children go back to school, we old folks who are vaccine-challenged can start going out to museums and maybe even shopping.  Of course, the kids will start catching the usual diseases including Corona.  But we will start going out…

Yes, this is heartless, but it’s also heartless that we old people will be last in line in the hospital to be put on ECMO machines, to get treatment at all – so let’s be heartless for a minute.

And while we’re on the subject of medical treatments – we got flu shots today.  I asked the guy who poked me to give me a written reprieve from cooking for a few days and I swear the needle shook as he tried to keep himself from laughing.
