I hope that you’re right. Some people will simply not want to get vaccinated and that’s their business, but once the emergency is lifted, I hope that those that are worried about it, will get it. But who knows. It would be pretty ironic to find out in a year that my third useless eye is a result of the vaccine.

I don’t think a broad statement like that is accurate. There are plenty of folks not getting vaccinated that haven’t gotten covid. My dad, for example, is against the vaccine and though he’s (thankfully) not contracted the virus, I don’t think he feels like he needs to do his part of anything. As a side note, I don’t begrudge anyone for not getting vaccinated. For my dad’s argument that it was rushed and he feels like it’s a risk, I respect that. But he is going to have to respect my choice of not seeing him because I don’t want to risk him getting covid. Even though I’m vaccinated, as we all know, I can still be asymptomatic. The vaccine isn’t just to prevent contracting the virus, it’s also for mitigating the severity if you do get it.

Expected low tonight here of 50 so I might plant today. I have some beans coming up from last years pods that fell on the ground, so I think I’ll be okay.

Living in a very populated area is why I haven’t had a problem wearing a mask. I don’t like it any more than the next person, but it’s been a necessary deterrent to the virus.

Still is!!

I never see them until late May at the earliest. And another walk around the kingdom this evening gave no sign of the cicadas either.

Super cool!

We were both racing back then and on a training ride. Heading up a hill and he was breathing hard and *snap* straight down his gullet. He was off his bike in a hurry and tried choking it up but it was gone. Pretty awesome. Also, I don’t think the brood X’s are that big. I mean they’re big, but not huge,

You’d know better than me because I wasn’t in this immediate area in ‘87. I was in Burtonsville and it was worse here in ‘04 than there in ‘87, though I remember in ‘87 that during a bike ride, a friend of mine inadvertently swallowed one. What a great ride that was. I almost fell off my bike laughing at him.

I just went out and surveyed the yard and saw no sign of them here yet. They were really bad in 2004 so I’m sure it’s just a few days away.

I’ve been holding off on everything. I’m shooting for this Thursday.

I’ve had 1.25” for May so far in my backyard, and I’m enjoying the cooler weather if for no other reason to hopefully delay the cicadas until after the Preakness. Though it would be a hoot to see them swarming at Pimlico.

Thick, pasty, globules on our slider during the heaviest part of the storm. This is all I managed to capture.

I’m so lame.

Holy crap! What a storm!

Yeah, between my fear of Trader Joe’s and falling rockets, I’m not leaving the house today.

Not an exercise?

Totally agree.

Pouring here, but it’s nice not wasting a sunny weekend day because I will be hunkered and masked in my basement rationing out tuna cans anyway.

The arrogance of him knowing how I, or anyone else lives their life is annoying.

It’s pretty narrow-minded how easily you put everyone into one of two categories. It’s either your way or the wrong way. I have no problem with how people are handling covid except for the dipshits that see only their way as the way. What do you care if people want to wear a mask? It has no impact on you.

Lol. Just when I think you may not be a douche, you be a douche.

You’d love their outdoor space. Let me know when you go over. I’d enjoy meeting up. Meanwhile, I’m down at the Belgian Hall in Hampden. This is incredible.

I wonder if the data can be cherry-picked from a model run from numerical or pivotal then put into a spreadsheet. I’m being naive. Probably not that simple.

One of my favorite sites is going under. http://wxweb.meteostar.com/sample/sample.shtml?text=Kbwi
