The front page of my site is now working correctly and I am so tired. These two things aren’t related. <\/p>\n

I’d been having some sort of small code issue or a security certificate issue and it occurred to me that I could get the host provider’s tech support people to look at it. And 11 minutes later they’d fixed the thing. Modern technology is amazing. That person is in California or Hong Kong or Texas or who knows where. They received a note from me, ascertained the problem, owing, no doubt, to my excellent description, and fixed everything for me. And I just waned them to point out the error. But now it is fixed. So that’s one less thing. Which is good. There are always more things.<\/p>\n

I am tired because I spent too much time on yesterday’s car chase that stretched into today<\/a>. I just don’t bounce back from three hours of sleep like I used to.<\/p>\n

Even more importantly, it doesn’t seem like the badge of honor it once did. <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

So I’m tired, you see. Which is probably why this is bumming me out. I’ve had my Covid-19 vaccine — now what can I safely do? Your questions answered<\/a>.<\/p>\n

First of all, I have not had my vaccine. This state just made it into their 65+ range on Monday. Second, if you can’t click that link the best summary is: Once you’ve got your shots, continue to wear masks and continue to stay away from people and don’t take trips and don’t eat at restaurants and don’t hang out with friends, if you have them. So it’s kind of the same as it was yesterday.<\/strike> So it is exactly the same as yesterday. The idea here is you have to have some still amorphous percentage of the population vaccinated and those rates aren’t going to be reached anytime soon. At all.<\/p>\n

I’m so happy for people who are getting their vaccines. (I know some of them now!) And I am quite frustrated for those people who have told me their parents or grandparents can’t get signed up. I guess I understand the hesitancy of others, to a point. <\/p>\n

All these dominoes have to fall, nearly simultaneously, for us to contemplate getting back to “normal,” which will never be the same. <\/p>\n

You noticed the group not included above are the willfully stubborn. Good luck to all of them, since they’re never getting on board.<\/p>\n

As #Flordia<\/a> fights community spread of COVID on a massive scale, this is a 15-second snapshot of a supermarket in Naples. Many employees and customers- even older ones- with no masks on inside. Store sign outside cites \u201cmedical exemptions,\u201d we can\u2019t ask questions. @NBCNews<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/rNUSOPLjeB<\/a><\/p>\n
