Here it is almost March and I just really don't have anything to report! Well, a few things but they are remarkably dull. Like we got our first corona virus shot a couple weeks ago but that was just as dull as you would want it to be. We signed up to get it at Walgreen's because they were offering them and no one else was saying boo about it. We went in and stood around for a few minutes until some guy came and gave my wife her shot then me mine. It was totally painless at the time. My arm was kind of sore the next day but after that nothing. We got the Moderna vaccine but I haven't really heard that one is better than another. We are scheduled for the second shot in about two weeks. NOW our county seems to have awakened and the VA is offering shots, both our doctor's offices have offered shots, even the county government has a program. Where were they a month ago? Bah, humbug!
Unlike Texas (and much of the US) we have been having pretty nice weather: 50ish in the day and 25ish at night. We have to pull in the hummingbird feeders every night but that's nothing like having to shovel snow! Of course we had an entire summer and fall without rain but who's counting? Actually, that is a scary thing around here. People are pumping water out of the aquifer like it will be never-ending. It's not unusual to find houses with 50-60 full grown trees on an acre lot. But, you know, all good things come to an end. My wife and I talk about it sometimes; will our house suddenly become worthless? Certainly it would be tough trying to find buyers if wells started going dry! We don't have cable tv in our particular neighborhood because there isn't the population to make it worth doing. Imagine if we wanted a public water supply; even IF they could find a supply. You've got to dig a lot of trenches to pipe water around. Our street is about 1 3/4 miles long and there are 17 houses. There are more lots, of course, but empty lots would probably be dumped by their owners if the town came along and wanted maybe $15K per lot for providing water service.
So on a lighter note, I saw this truck drive by the other day and wondered what the devil it was carrying.
Then the driver parked and I got to see the other side.
Of course, slot machines! It is Nevada after all.
Thanks for stopping by. Keep washing those hands and wearing those masks!

Thanks for checking in Don, it is so easy to lose track of each other during these times when none of us have a life to report on.
We have had "supply problems" with the vaccine up here in Canada but it now looks like we will be registering for our shots in March and getting the first one in April. Many health care workers have not received their shots yet. Not the optimal situation but Canada is still keeping their numbers relatively under control. Stay well, continue being careful, spring is coming!
