Yahtzee! Amen. Gotta make up your own mind to make up your own (well-educated) mind.

...A third booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine increases neutralizing antibody levels against the Delta variant by more than five times compared to levels after a second dose in people aged 18 to 55 years, new data from Pfizer show. ...The company noted this could mean an estimated 100-fold increase in Delta variant protection after a third dose. These new findings are outlined in a Pfizer second quarter 2021 earnings report... ...The data come from a relatively small number of people studied. There were 11 individuals in the 18- to 55-year-old group and 12 people in the 65- to 85-year-old cohort. ...Availability of a third dose of any of the current COVID-19 vaccines would require either amending the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) emergency use authorization or granting full FDA approval status to the vaccine. ...In addition, the World Health Organization said at a media briefing on July 12 that rich countries should prioritize the sharing of COVID-19 vaccine supplies to other countries in need worldwide before allocating doses for a booster shot of its own residents.

Gotta love the "News" (advertising) industry, stirring any headline merde that'll attract eyeballs. ...the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) said 90% of the front-line border services officers have been identified as "essential" so will continue to work in the event of a strike. ...Contract talks reached an impasse in December 2020, the unions said. ...Prior to the pandemic, tourism was the fifth-largest industry in Canada, contributing C$105 billion ($83.4 billion) to the GDP and providing one in ten jobs, ..."It's not favorable at all for a lot of small businesses relying on either goods coming across the border or people coming across the border," ...Their demands include higher pay, the ability to carry their guns in areas like airports and to address issues of "toxic" workplaces, he said. ..."We expect that our officers will continue to fulfill their duties with the highest level of integrity and professionalism."

Seems like Retirees vibe on a different level. Def gotta study this breed!

For real! AWESOMENESS!

Need Coaching & Cheerleading on this piece please!

If you don't have PCR access at a Walgreens or CVS: Pre-order the kit from these guys, and when the snow flies (or when Aruba calls) you log in to their Zoom, they watch you open the box & spit into the tube (lay off the weed that day!), express mail/ship it in, and VOILA!... www.vaulthealth.com/covid

Gotta appreciate a fellow who's committed to "keep right" Hope they're OK, after the undergarment change.

Gotta love the ones that say: "May cause diarrhea or constipation"... In the immortal words of President Blunderhead: "C'mon man?!"

Does this one look like they're getting their temperature taken the old fashioned way?

Any early-birds up at that hour?

Thanks again for the reminder on Lombardo's! Went back last night, and loved it, great vibe & service & vittles! Calamari Fritti Scarpariello?! Sì Grazie! No masks, big space so no worries on rubbing elbows, and everyone respecting everyone. The mask flyer was down from the resto door, but their attached/separate SAQ had this respectful optional honor-system policy:

And how will it be in 2 weeks?

Yes Sir. Hey now. That rodeo's the real stuff. And hats off to you guys on the Bison run. They didn't move like that a few winters ago. Thanks for bringing it!
