Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

No Moderna booster yet, just Pfizer. Don't think you can cross the two brands, but don't know why not. Have heard differing theories on that.

Well, to be honest, Rango isn't the sharpest crayon in the drawer. It took a lot of work to get him to be good on the leash, because he's prone to wander to whichever side has the more interesting smells. And teaching him "Wait!" at street corners took a while, too. But I don't take him on MUPs on an extendo leash, because I'M not an idiot.

And here I am, well past 120 days on Pfizer, but only 63, so no booster for Mrs. Smith's boy.

The current rule is the same as a GRD - 2 bases from the time of the pitch. Intentional deflection by a defensive player makes it 2 bases from the time of deflection. The rub here is that without the ball being deflected out of play, the run would have scored (2 outs, runner at 1B left on the pitch, and was almost to 3B when the ball went out of play).

Back from the second trip to the airport. Lost and found were being *****. The only glasses found this morning, but I am obvious glasses theif and they needed proof. A picture of her wearing them. They assured me they would know it was her. One of our friends came up with the winning pic. And they noted my driver's license and green card numbers, just in case I was pulling the wool over their eyes.

There is a booster dose for Moderna that is currently being reviewed by the FDA and CDC and their respective advisory committees. Expect recommendations in a few weeks.

There is no good evidence for doing a mix/match booster but apparently it's also being looked at.

My advice is to sit tight and there should be reasonable recommendations in the next few weeks.

The stores were open this time so I picked up some PBBlaster and paint for the Ironman. Chrysler Orange. A pitiful selection they had there. AutoZone. The most expensive parts place in the city. By far. And the only place to get many things. Like the PB. I plan to start sanding it in the very near future.
Edit: Chrysler Hemi Orange, actually.

I'm right at 120 days, but Mexico has shown no signs of offering boosters. The scuttlebut is that very soon we're just going to pretend it no longer exists. The Mrs will be looking for one up north.

Planning a five-day getaway for the last week of October. Roughly 160 route miles, a nice ferry ride ,plus whatever I do during the day off in Lewes, DE. Hope the weather cooperates.
