All of the seniors in my little town, who wished to be vaccinated, are. Just the final two weeks for the full effects to kick in. The younger members of the town have decided the pandemic is effectively over, apparently. Masks are coming off in a steady stream. It's disquieting.
We saw similar activity within days of the first round being administered. There must have been an announcement from on high, because it ceased as quickly as it appeared.

Hey MoAlpha we are watching network news and TV advert states prevagen improves memory.
Of course there is no good or credible evidence to support this claim. How can the company get away with such a blatant misrepresentation?

As far as the FDA is concerned, all they have to say is that their snake oil product is not intended to treat, diagnose, or prevent any disease.

Thanks for all the tips on grease gun operation. I have a mental block about going to YouTube. And once I realized my error, I remembered the process, from the last time I did it, thirty or so years ago. Probably 40. I think I'll remember it for the next time.
You professional mechanics probably haven't used one in forty years either. I learned that lithium grease is not nearly as difficult to work with, and clean up after, as regular old wheel bearing grease.

Congrats! You have the bubbly ready, of course. Ours gave us a grandson last August. I hope to meet him before his first birthday.

Duane first, then Greg years later. Dickie is still around, I think mid 70s. Butch Trucks (their original drummer) offed himself in 2017. His nephew is Derrick Trucks.
Here is Derrick with a jar on his finger.
I forgot about Berry Oakley, their bassist, died a year after Duane in a similar m/c crash near the same place Duane died.

Congrats?
I could note my latest tribulation.
Last Friday I got my second Moderna. Midday Saturday I started getting chills. It went downhill from there--aches, fever--the worst I've felt (sickness-wise) in at least seven years. I ate one time in two days. On Sunday I threw up a drink of water. First time I've vomited in more than a decade. (Should have pre-hydrated). I sat in the car in the sun trying to get warm, and still couldn't work up a sweat. A brutal 36 hours. Avoid.

If I'm over my nerve pain I'm heading to Pennsylvania in June sometime. Maybe I'll swing by on my way back to GA. I don't think my fitness level or yours will be very good by then. Perhaps we can order the @datlas at the local Chipotle in lieu of a ride.
