My grass has really greened up since last week. My south facing lawn is gonna need a mow if this keeps up.

Damn! I just opened the mail! Second time in 6 months someone filed a fraudulent pandemic unemployment claim on me. I had one back in September.

You got that right. She’s supposed to be a physician scientist leading the CDC and we got that emotional mess today?

Yes and no. It’s 90% plus effective at stopping infection. That’s the intent. It also lessens the severity if you’re in the 10% that get an infection. You’ll still see older people in LTC facilities get it even though they’re vaccinated because their immune system is bad. I did see that lady ER doc from Brown say that she has yet to admit a patient or see an ER case of anyone that has been vaccinated.

LOL Temp talk incoming.

That's what my first Moderna felt like.

My neighbors Forsythia is about ready, my Day Lillies and Catsmint are greening nicely. Canadian Maple in the front yard is opening up, and my Magnolia isn't too far behind.

Stein fail

Lol You should move to Juneau. Or if you didn’t want to go that far coastal Oregon would do the trick. If I had to live in the Pacific Northwest, I’d suck on a tailpipe.

Everyone should know that April is generally a dumpster fire in New England. I always look at Mother’s Day for sustained decent spring weather. If I could, mid March to mid May is when I’d head south out of here and come back around the 20th. That 60 days is generally terrible for snow weenies in SNE and just as bad for the warministas. I have zero use for 40-50 with a cold rain.

Noose worthy

Don't be short sighted and sell blow on those routes. Don't give me those Manson lamps. Tony Soprano, circa 2000

Just a little arm soreness this morning when I woke up. Already pretty much gone. Didn't even take any pain reliever. Next shot at 4:30, April 20th, Natick Mall. I had a text on my phone with the link to sign up for the second appt by the time I walked over to the 15 minute waiting area. I think the state finally has the website kinks worked out. I heard a lady say that they were doing 2000 per day at that site.

Got Moderna #1 at 4:30. So far all is well.

My tree was in a large mulch bed out front. Has a large gold hinoki Cyprus and some boxwoods too. I may put in a dogwood. Something that will bloom for awhile. The plum only bloomed for about a week. I have some CAST outdoor lighting with 2 bullets that uplit the tree, so I want to replace it. That plum has been in 12 years, the black knot ate it up.

I put in some new KBG sod last September. Did real well. It’s actually still decently green. I had to cut down my 20 foot ornamental plum tree in my front yard back in late January. It was covered in black knot. Arborist is coming back next month to grind out the stump. Not sure what I’m going to replace it with.

I haven’t been since they opened. We go to the one in PVD Place some. But I haven’t been since Covid. I used to live off of Rt 135 and Speen street back in the 90’s right after they enclosed that mall. They added a new wing in several years ago with high end stores. I haven’t been in there since Covid either. If it’s like the Cambridgeside Galleria, it’s dead. But Natick/Framingham is a pretty populated area so I’d guess it’s still somewhat busy. I saw where Lord and Taylor closed so they’re down another anchor store. I bought my first cell phone in that mall in 96.

There was a 2 level Sears in the Natick mall that closed a couple of years ago. The second floor was taken over by Dave and Buster’s. The first floor is where they have the vaccination site.

Got my appointment text this morning. I go Monday at 4:30 pm to the Natick mall. Moderna.

Yankee talk, lol. I used to listen to those guys on Saturday mornings with Dick Raddatz back in the 90's. God that's been nearly 30 years go.

I just got a text that said “It’s almost your turn” and I’ll get a text tomorrow with a link to use to sign up for an appointment at one of the mass vaccination sites. Hopefully they’ll do it by location. Gillette or Natick would be the closest.

That guy is horrid. But...dale Arnold just retired and guess who 'EEI hired? GRESH! UGH Dale was the last guy on there worth listening to. Now that station goes off my pre-set.

Rumor has it she chocked on a ham sandwich

Most of the resoivoirs around here that feed the wells are running over the spill ways. The 200 acre reservoir behind my house is full.

We Stein all summer
