I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

I am satisfied with the week, and we can just shut it down now.

Dana, you made my whole goddamn week.

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

Did you hear? THEY SAY VACCINES REALLY WORK TOO!

But everyone knows you can't trust THEM, Jesse. Don't be a sheeple.

Rockets were fired towards Jerusalem. Sounds like Iron Dome got them all but one. My parents and I are OK.

(I did not miss the air raid sirens, at all).

I'm sorry, Shir. I can't imagine the twist that must cause to your emotions when you hear the sirens.

I hope them folks are right about vaccines, because I just made an appt for my kid the day after her 12th birthday. She is getting a vaccine and a billion cicadas for a birthday to remember.

TWELVE?!?!?!

Well, when you put it like that, it does seem ridiculous.

As soon as emergency use is over, have them talk to the pediatrician about off-label use. It's worth a try if there is a decent reason for it to happen before the Fall, when the 2-11 year olds are likely to be approved.

He lives in a very remote area, but since his parents and all the adults he knows are vaxed he wants in on the action. He does have asthma, so his mother might discuss it with his doctor.
