Sean,

  With the uptick in COVID-19 cases (especially the Delta Variant), the 
John L. McClellan VA Hospital in Little Rock had to put restrictions on
who could come there, for patients and visitors. I've had both shots, so
I should be good.

  Too bad the red light district doesn't mean area of constant stoplights
through town. <G>
