"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

It is amazing. There's one HMO provider where the limit is still 40+ and not 35+ (again, all to the general population. Other groups with preexisting conditions have been prioritized and vaccinated earlier). It also depends where do you live - it is better to be in the small towns and not in big cities - people under 30 have been vaccinated there. I think it's because they can better regulate and foresee issues in the supply chain, and the clinics there can call people directly and offer vaccines, if they have enough left.

But still, we are in a bad shape. Large populations will not listen to lockdown instructions, and there's very little enforcement there. The lockdown was just extended - till the end of January - and the hospitals are struggling. And that's just the physical health, not the economy or the mental health aspects. And we've got elections coming up in two months (I'm not optimistic about it).

But for right now, hugging people again is surely a relief.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

"I think Trump has already left Washington! I think he's already in Mar-A-Lago!"

The first notification I saw this morning was "President Trump has left the White House for the last time" and it was THE BEST NEWS EVER.

Our wings are not tired.

Ugh, he is just a few miles from me now. We love that at noon the local small airports will no longer have to close when he is here. The streets won't be closed. The scores of local sheriffs won't have to be deployed. We can even get in our boat and cruise by Mar-A-Lago if we want. Residents there don't want him either, but apparently Ivanka wants to be the next Senator from Florida. Yuck.

A glorious wonderful day, but yeah chest still tight. I am determined to just feel the joy.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

When Dr. Biden stepped out of her car a man buttoned her coat and I thought, “Why is that man buttoning... oh, Kevlar.”

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I had to turn off the coverage for now because I have a zoom appointment in a few minutes. Apparently this particular office doesn't send it's links until just a few minutes before the meeting, and that is making me a nervous wreck.

Who's watching the inauguration with a combination of excitement and nausea?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm not feeling nausea but I do feel my bile rise every time they cut to Kavanaugh.

Our wings are not tired.

They are going to make me cry before long. I just love seeing he former real presidents chitchatting. I love all the new real families enjoying the day. I love it all.

My chest pressure is lessening.
