Got back from deer hunting in the pouring rain to find out 3 of my friends caught covid over the last week, after finding out the morning I left that my uncle caught it too. Real downer ending to a decent trip, I got like 15 lbs of venison and won $60 playing hold 'em out there.

Yesterday I removed a dead deer from the road.

I was driving from the CVS where I got my third Phizer shot to the coin operated car wash. I saw the oncoming traffic swerve into my lane and then saw the deer they were avoiding. I pulled off into a driveway, got on my hi vis vest and gloves because I'm the guy who has that, and then, when traffic was clear, I grabbed the deer's legs and flipped it over onto the grass. It was a spike with a really floppy neck so I think it was a young buck that tried to flex on a Buick going 35mph and lost.

Then I left and washed my car.

Remember when MLB moved the All Star Game out of Atlanta due to its voter suppression laws? Well of course irony sucks and the World Series matchup this year is between Atlanta and a team in Texas which was where the other most high profile voter suppression laws were passed. Great

This is true but if you have such a problem with it why the hell were you begging the Red Sox to lose to the Astros in the MLB threads?

Are you slightly overweight or more? Our doc told us that it qualified as a condition for 18-65 but at this point I figure they’re happy just to give the shots to those who want them. When we went to CVS they just gave us coupons for $5 and the shots with no questions asked. We were six months out from our second shots so it double qualified.

I lied to get my first shot because gently caress prioritizing teachers and reopening schools when I’ve had legally mandated in person community contact with vulnerable populations every dang day of this stupid pandemic. Nothing against teachers, but they weren’t back in class yet and just because my state doesn’t give a poo poo about supposedly essential workers health doesn’t mean I won’t gladly make an admittedly self-serving decision in the name of public health. Booster shot coming tomorrow!

Watched Dune last night despite knowing literally nothing about the series, and... pretty good! The only thing I would have liked to have known was a bit more about the houses and whatnot beforehand, but I paused quickly, did a quick "What you should know before watching Dune" search and got caught up. Once I had that, the story was a lot easier to follow.

Less of a problem by far than you were worried about but for a kinda funny thing...I just had a somewhat excruciating phone convo with my mom about getting her booster shot (she's all for it) but she couldn't find her vaccination card. She was looking all over the place while talking to me for 40 minutes.

I was halfway through figuring out this state's byzantine system for getting something re-issued (you can't, but you can get the information emailed, mailed, or faxed to you (yay fax users in 2021)) when she apparently found it in the first place she'd looked.

That’s one good thing Louisiana is ahead of, there’s a LA Wallet app that shows your driver’s license AND it has your Covid vaccination status. Carnival accepted it as our Covid vaccination proof on last week’s cruise.

I still took a photo too just in case.

I got my ~vaccine passport~ through the Clear app (the same company that hassles you for an easy way to get through airport security), and while it was annoying to set up, every place accepts it. I don't have to worry about carrying my card around with me anymore. In fact, it's the only way they'll allow you in to watch Kraken games.

My hospital doesn't mandate it and they only do weekly testing on the antivaxxer staff because the governor made an executive order requiring health care workers vaxx or weekly test.

I think the antigen tests are nonspecific for ANY coronavirus so a common corona cold would make it positive, a PCR doesn't have this issue. I think that's what I remember from reading the package insert after I was freaking out after a shift at work when I found out one of the mri's I did the night before (we have them take off the masks because of the twist tie in the nose) lost her taste/smell overnight and tested positive. I only had a surgical mask on. I can only assume I got lucky.

Have you considered hiring a local youth and buying a large trenchcoat?


I personally wouldn't expect small child approvals for awhile since covid is over now, there is less pressure to protect kids now that they are all in school superspreading, and the serious side effects seem to be proportional to younger age so lots of handwringing in that aspect.

You just gotta live your life, you can't be in fear of having brunch. I mean children get infected with viruses that attack the nervous system with permenant damage all the time, and who hasn't had myocarditis as a youth potentially resulting in scarring/cardiomyopathy in 20 years? Nobody lives forever!

Oh man do the episode synopsis for that suck rear end.

Keith Williams is one of the odder predators Chris has caught. At first he said he wasn't going to give an interview. The blames his being there on boredom. “Can we skip all of this so I can get in trouble?” To which Chris replies, “why don’t you find a hobby?” You're going to love this episode.
