Got the Novavax - protein based vaccine - after my doc recommended getting one of the Covid vaxes for me this year. I've had both of the mnra ones in the past and thought I'd try this newer one.

I knew CVS had these but was pleased to find out that Costco also had it. I went looking for it after reading that there tended to be much less side effects felt. For me, that was true! Not even a sore arm...
Living and tuning in the city has vastly improved my parallel parking skills. Sometimes I even surprise myself fitting in or out of a tight squeeze!
When I bought my 2020 Kia Niro, one of the things I looked for was a shorter car that could still fit tall people in the back seat comfortably.
Stand, sit, shuffle left & right - even around the right side sometimes to tune the treble... 
Latest I saw was that the wing was first put up to hide the bunker below and that the reason plans won't be seen by regular channels is that a bigger royal bunker is the real reason for the ballroom...
Reminds me of the time I went to a new client's house for a tuning. A new build, I guess a smart house? Anyway, to get the lights on in the piano room, she had to call her husband at work to control from his phone...
I do carry battery lights and am able to tune without power if needed.
Not ours. A little background - my younger brother and wife sold the house, rehabbed a trailer RV and have been travelling north America the last few years. They are currently in Utah where they noticed an old rusting car off the side of a cliff. While searching online for details, they stumbled across this story - enjoy!

"It was never a good idea to drive an old and defective British roadster into the western desert, but the promise of adventure was so irresistible I did it anyway. It was June, 1987. Ronald Reagan was president and the Berlin Wall had not yet fallen. I was twenty-four years old, heartbroken from a great, failed romance. I was ready to take risks I would normally have never considered."
And now arresting police officers:
"Background checks performed by the FBI, Illinois State Police reveal no criminal history," Craig said. "If Officer Bojovic did not hold federal work authorization, he would not have been hired."
I guess since Republicans have established they are ok with deporting people to... anywhere, the next administration should be able to start deporting white supremicists without any problems, right?
"Two weeks ago, first grade teacher Maria Heavenerâs students at Funston Elementary saw something no child should ever have to see â federal agents releasing tear gas outside their school in Logan Square.
âIt was the first time my students had ever seen that level of violence in our community,â Heavener said. âRight there on the corner of Central Park and Armitage.â
That day, Maria and her colleagues acted quickly - closing windows, ushering students to safety, and standing between children and armed federal agents.
Last week at Funston, Mayor Brandon Johnson, CTU President Davis Gates and AFT President Randi Weingarten stood with Maria to honor the bravery of Funston educators, parents and community members. They demanded an end to the federal occupation of Chicago and to the attack on our Black and brown communities. Because classrooms should be sanctuaries â not battlegrounds."
It looks like Republicans are trying to get violent pushback by increasing their own violent tactics. Sigh
Posted on a neighborhood chat over the weekend:
Good morning neighbors. Confirmed ICE activity on Clark & Ridge if anyone wants to help blow the whistle. 3 short whistles to alert ICE present, 3 long if you see anyone being detained. Please donât intervene if you see someone being detained, itâs been confirmed these agents are aggressive. Record from a distance if you can and avoid the alleys, they station in them.
Boy, conservatives seem to have no regrets dishing it out, but sure can't take it about one of their own...
Trapped here waiting for the knock on the door or break-in. Promised a free path back home, but guess Republicans lied about that too.

"She desperately wanted to get out of the country.
It was mid-May and PĂ©rez, a Venezuelan mother of two, couldnât survive on her own in Chicago anymore. Sheâd been relying on charity for food and shelter ever since her partner had been detained by immigration authorities after a traffic stop earlier in the year.
PĂ©rez, 25, thought itâd be safer to return to Venezuela with her children than to stay in the U.S. Her request for asylum was still open and she had a permit to work legally, but so did a lot of other Venezuelans getting picked up on the streets and taken into custody. Authorities were detaining immigrants regardless of whether theyâd followed the rules."
When just about everything they claim gets proven a lie, why does the news report what they say anymore?
U.S. law prohibits the depiction of living individuals on currency and coins. This tradition aims to avoid the appearance of a monarchy and has been in place since an 1866 Act of Congress.
Since when do laws matter to Republicans in power?
He was a bit of a hero on local social media...
"In South Shore this week, federal agents approached or entered nearly every apartment in a five-story building that was raided, and U.S. citizens were among those detained for hours, residents and witnesses told the Sun-Times."
(They ziplined down from blackhawk helicopters, flashbanged and broke their way into apartments.)
There seems to be a misconception about what the vaccine/boosters accomplish. They don't seem to keep you from catching Covid - but what they are really good at is keeping you from spiraling down into needing to go to the hospital. The jury still seem to be out as to whether additional boosters are needed to keep an infection from needing hospital care.
