Another this and that (COVID edition)

-

 So going back to my COVID rant … Dr. Sabin, who also developed a polio vaccine, got his start by inventing a vaccine for Japanese encephalitis.  The vaccine must be repeated every three years to maintain immunity.  My friend is ignorant of science and history.

We went out to eat and to the movies, and I expected to mask up.  At the Bronx Zoo, we also had to show proof of vaccination in order to enter the indoor exhibits.

Went to the drugstore to pick up my prescription, and there was a huge sign explaining that they were out of COVID testing kits.

More Broadway cancelations, sports teams are having difficulty.

The airlines have been canceling flights, and at least three cruise ships have had minor outbreaks. We have a cruise planned for December 2022, and I’m hoping …

Sigh.

    Being out of testing kits can be taken as a positive. At least people acknowledge they can get COVID, that it's real. My brother and his son believe it's a "scam" and the Democrats started it to unseat Trump. Hopefully, anyone testing positive will take it seriously. My county is full of anti-mask/vaccine people, and they don't keep it to themselves, they parade around and make scenes about it. I got yelled at in the Dollar Tree for wearing a mask. It's my state mandate. The stores no longer enforce it.

      There are two really good bakeries in my town. One bakery has a sign in the window requesting that customers mask up, explaining that they know a “mandate” isn’t a law but failure to obey it could result in $1000 fine and that yeah they know you’re tired of wearing a mask but they wear them to and all day long.

      Other bakery posted on their social media that since our county executive will not enforce the Governor’s mask mandate they have opted to allow their customers to remain maskless.

      Guess which bakery got my money this morning?

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in ...

Saturday 9

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
