What bothers me about the stores is that, stereotyping here, the people who refuse to get vaccinated are a lot of the same people who never wanted to wear a mask and I figure those same people are now shopping and/or in big crowds maskless.

I mean... yeah. I saw a maskless guy wearing a "Remember Benghazi" t-shirt over the weekend, and I'd be comfortable placing a wager on his vaccination status.

Thinking of heading over to the quad cities this weekend. I just thought I'd stick that in here for conversation.

They were there at least as far back as 1973, when we all trekked to MN for their wedding, and it was also there 15 years later when Mrs. GeneJockey and I made our cross country jaunt so people who hadn't come out here for our wedding could meet her. Or me, depending on whose relatives we're talking about.

I just drive old cars which were traded in to the dealers where I worked. At least for the last 25 years that's where I got cars for myself and the Mrs. Now that I've retired that may not be an option. Maybe my piece of crap Trailblazer will keep working for a while.

My clubmate ( hard to call him a friend ) did RAAM 3 times. First time he DNF'd due to hyponatremia and being unprepared. 2nd time he finished and became the first over 60 finisher. 3rd time it was his easiest and he became the first finisher over 65.
He said it cost him about $30K each time although the third time he got some help like gas cards (big help) and clothing sponsorship. He also used a product called Spiz for on the bike feeds and I think they gave him a little money as well as free product.

Complete disclosure: I will probably only visit two of the Quad Cities, Moline and Rock Island, both on the east side of the big river.

One advantage of sunglasses - nobody can see you rolling your eyes.
