Sigh. Spamers have figured out how to spam with Seti Beta.

Wear a 2 layer mask over your nose and your mouth, take D3 and don't listen to CT junk.

Stay 6ft or more apart... And what blood type are you?

I hear it likes A or AB a lot, but O Negative? Not as much, good luck. I'm O Negative.

I was vaccinated for the flu months ago and incidents of the flu are way down.

The flu does not attack the lungs...

You breathe in air that you can't see or taste all the time along with whatever else is there, viruses are airborne...

As soon as the time is right for my age group I will get a shot, I'll be 61 soon.

Not so sure about the vaccine. It was a rush job and I want to see what it does to people. It maybe fine or might cause a problem for you. I’ll let the guinea pigs have time to show one way or the other the effects.

Having the annual flu jab will help protect you against the annual flu, as will avoiding close contact with others and wearing a face mask. But sadly, even taken together they do not guarantee absolutely that one won't get the seasonal flu :-(
The seasonal flu jab has no effect on the virus that causes Covd-19, but wearing a face mask and staying clear of people will help greatly in reducing the probability of one getting it - I've been trying my best to "live as a hermit" for the best part of a year. It certainly gets tough at times

Here's an early Hump Day morning post.

Only because I didn't do myself any favours yesterday pushing that mower around for 2 hours.

Cheers.

I got my first one and no issue. Second is still a couple of week away.
27 million people in the US have been vaccinated as of midnight last night. 1 suspicious death. 2.5 allergic reactions per million doses. I think we have a good idea of what it does to people.
It makes you want to do the time warp again.

Posting with no sleep. Storm came thru with 2-3 inches of rain and 40-50 mph winds, gusts over 70. One of the gusts took my garage roof with it. Still dark waiting to see the damage. Think some trees fell too.

Historically we've had gusts up to 77mph, but that's rare here as are fires.

40% chance of rain, maybe as much as 0.11 inches, out here that's a good amount.

What's up?

Pain just below my left knee appeared this morning(5 out of 10 for pain), I can stand and barely walk, most of the pain is when I walk, I've taken all my pills except the 2 prescription water weight pills, so hopefully the Bayer back & body pain pills will help since I don't want to reschedule a Doctor's appointment, though I might have to.

... Pain just below my left knee appeared this morning...

Dedicate an hour each day to focus upon yourself and to get more comfortable, gently work on some exercise/movement, and to see/do something fun?

Small first steps and all that? ;-)


(Just clearing off a couple of minor injuries myself. Special note not to underestimate physics and the real world!! Gently working at getting fully fit very definitely helps!)

Good luck!

Pellucidar of course is a work of fiction, but some I think have trouble with fiction, to them fiction and facts are the same...

Pellucidar is a fictional Hollow Earth invented by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs for a series of action adventure stories.[1] In a crossover event between Burroughs's series, there is a Tarzan story in which he travels into Pellucidar.

The stories initially involve the adventures of mining heir David Innes and his inventor friend Abner Perry after they use an "iron mole" to burrow 500 miles into the Earth's crust. Later protagonists include indigenous caveman Tanar and additional visitors from the surface world, notably Tarzan, Jason Gridley, and Frederich Wilhelm Eric von Mendeldorf und von Horst.


I could literally pass the time reading this at one time, lots of fantasy.

My first thought was that was some sort of special Wiggo brew!

(Do they have mushroom brews down there?! ;-) Really see upside-down stars?!! :-) )
