Funeral over. On the way home I thought about going for a bike ride.... Then I laughed! That was a hoot!
it's snowing cold wet and miserable. Yes, V.v., in that order.

I imagine you are defining "not work" rather than "work". But my point is, the vaccines work in several ways - reducing likelihood of infection; reduced likelihood of illness if infected; reduced severity of illness if symptomatic; reduced likelihood of death if severely ill.
So, it might still do all of those, to a lesser degree, and still be useful, especially once boosted. Per Fauci, we should know in a couple weeks how protective the vaccines are against this variant.
The irritating thing is that antivaxxers will use this as a reason not to get vaccinated, whereas in fact it's a compelling argument for vaccination - the fewer highly susceptible people in the population, the lower the rate of replication, and the lower the rate of replication the slower the rate of viral evolution.

My across-the-hall neighbor in Brooklyn also liked to do a fair amount of cooking. He was of the belief that a kitchen should be as clean, or cleaner, after finishing cooking a meal. I'm pretty much the same, though I'll let a pan or two soak while eating and then clean them afterwards.
Ha. Along those lines, one of my goals this year is to spend enough time that I have a similar familiarity, workflow, and persnickety approach in the woodworking shop.

My clean as you go is mostly rinse and stick it in the dishwasher. Pots and pans get a hand wash though.

Yes, but not a plate you only used for toast.

I got out Mrs. GeneJockey's Mom's sterling for Thanksgiving, since it's a set FOR 4, and we were a set OF 4. You CAN put it in the dishwasher, but it gets a coating of whitish oxides.

We each have our own kitchen. They're both full of dirty dishes atm.
My flow in the wood shop has become quite good. Not fast by any stretch, but the flow is good. The bench still gets cluttered but cleans up quickly. There's a mortise marked out and waiting to be chopped as we speak.
In fact it's the wood shop that's keeping me off the bike. I'd rather be in there. I'm replacing our six worn out dining room chairs one by one. It is hoped that the sixth will go faster and more smoothly than the first.

Went looking at some houses with our daughter today in Austin.
The idea of a 1600’ house that is almost 40 years old and listed for $650k is hard for me to swallow.

It’s double or triple that in a good neighborhood in LA. Crazy.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA...

Here in San Mateo, you're talking 2.5-3x that. A few miles South, in Palo Alto, a lot more. This is my retirement plan.

To put it in context, I’m comparing to my 12 year old full custom house that is almost three times that size and may cost that much today.

Yeah. I keep finding houses we could easily afford on Zillow that are what I always wanted when I was younger - which turns out to be very much the style of my parents' house - but realizing that the youngest I'll ever be in that house would be 70, and I'll only get less mobile from there, I realize they're not what I should be looking for.
