I've heard tell of such things, but I cannot testify as to their veracity.

I'm lucky my mom's still here, she's 70. She's the only person it's important to have a meal with. On Thanksgiving I called her, we put each other on speaker, and ate dinner and talked, we'll do that again for xmas. Everybody else gets curated trinkets, and some exercise to earn them.

Good idea, sounds like you're working out a safe scheme. Hope the weather cooperates.

I guess I’m won’t send Seattle that Xmas ham after all. if I get another ham as a gift I don’t know. Only so much ham at one time.
Last edited by Hondo Gravel; 12-06-20 at 12:44 PM. Reason: too much ham and eggs

Yup Bubba was at the grocery store getting some beer with his basketball gut hanging out not wearing a mask trying to make a scene. I had on my Tool shirt and AC/DC mask that apparently caused his face to contort which made me laugh. Bubba drank the Koolaid 
He appeared such a pathetic soul I kept my distance and got my groceries I cruised on.

FDA advisory panel recommends Emergency Use Authorization for Pfizer vax.
Stat news
A panel of outside experts on Thursday recommended the Food and Drug Administration issue an emergency use authorization to the Covid-19 vaccine being developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, a vaccine that appeared to be highly efficacious in a Phase 3 clinical trial.
The 17-4 vote came after a long day in which members of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, or VRBPAC, discussed a wide range of issues related to the vaccine, including concerns about vaccinating people with severe allergies and 16- and 17-year-olds, as well as issues regarding vaccination during pregnancy or lactation.
Although the FDA does not have to follow the panel’s recommendation, it is widely expected to do so.
