Thank you, that made my day!!

Actually, when I play golf, I'm like a sailboat going into the wind, I tack across the field and zigzag my way in about 12 strokes to the hole. My golf philosophy is to get as many strokes for my money as possible. Some get only 65 strokes, I get at least 129 strokes for my money!

I've been very impressed with this COVID site. So many of you are well read, use well thought out arguments, and have a wealth of knowledge. I need some advice from you. I am currently on leave from teaching. And have been isolating, and feeling very good. Although I am 73, I still have a longing to go back to full-time secondary teaching (grade 10 11 and 12 level). I have to make a decision by the end of January 2021. Should I go for another leave until the end of June, or is it safe enough to go back to teaching?

I'm not sure what you are referring to. There is an online vaccination calculator, I tried it, it calculated that there are some 5.99 million people ahead of me. I rounded it up a notch, so that I could be the 6 million dollar man (an old TV show). Sheesh, this is just like the jokes I tell my students, I always have to explain them!! Like the punchlines "She sang Pardon my Roy, is that the cat who ate your new shoes" and "He was a supercallousedfragilemystichexedbyhalatosis" "what's a rotten joint like that, doing in a nice girl like you!".

There he goes, "Waivering" good-bye!!

Looks like I'm about 6 millionth in line. Always wanted to be the 6 million dollar man!

His "backend" exudes "fresh air" ? LOL!

Washington is showing what the logical conclusion to Trumpism leads. Recently Trump brought back the firing squad for capital punishment. Interesting....

I know how you feel. I have a very bright cousin who is Pro-Trump, Q-Annon, anti-mask, anti-vaccination, and right into the alternate web sites. No arguement works, it's all fake news, we are sheeple, show me your research (that's a good one). So sad.....

How about a Bubba Beer?

Naturally!

Throw another logarithm on the fire:

The original "If looks could kill !!"

Here is a sign of the times (1940's) when a whole nation gave up a lot of freedoms and a lot of Christmas's with their loved ones for a common cause.

TImes Colonist (Victoria) printed today that all BC people who want the vaccine should be able to get it by September, 2021.

Let's compare New Zealand to Vancouver Island. They "lifted the draw bridge" we sort of half did for a little bit. It is neat to see the New Zealand rugby and Haka before packed stands again. Soon, we might have the Canucks before packed stands again. Now, I would like the Canucks do a Haka before the game!

We should pull up the drawbridge. PEI pulled up their Confederation Bridge (The "Span of Green Cables" !!)

Do you put your mask on your member??

I'm reminded of a little ditty from the 50's : "Kisses spread germs and germs are hated, but kiss me baby, I'm vaccinated!"

Sheesh, at my age, any workout is a "high intensity workout". Why, just going to the bathroom......

Singing "Don't strap me in", sung to the tune of "Don't fence me in"

About vaccines. I was adopted at a year and a half. When I was about 46 I found my birth parents names. They never married each other me being a "love child", but did marry others, Mother had 9 other children, Dad had 4 other children. I have met about 8 of these 13 children. Mother had a father who did not believe in vaccinations, so would not let his children get the polio vaccination. One died at about 14, another became a quadriplegic. I was lucky enough to meet her about 3 months before she died in her 50's. She ran everything from a puffer on her chair. Answered the phone, turned on the TV, opened doors, etc. She was printing out her mom's poetry and song lyrics by puffing into an old Apple IIe in Morse code, then she printed it out from there. She did art work by painting with her mouth. She died in her 50's her bast**d father lived to 90.

JFK is in as well. We all know his assassination was a hoax, and he has come out of hiding!

It's those 50 and 60 year-olds. Us, over 70's know better! Youngsters, humph....

Well, it's about time I opened this up and had a drink or two to all your good health. Hockey and Bubba Beer can't come fast enough.
