       @stux I think the wettest I’ve ever been, outside of a shower or a pool, was standing on that bridge in a pooring rain. Had a windbreaker, which I had thought to be rainproof. I was sadly mistaken. I was quite a ways beyond soaked to the skin, and chilly to boot. It was Thanksgivingday, about 4 yrs ago.

       I’m sure that the folks who’ve been on Mastodon for 6 months or a year or longer feel like they are under siege. I assume this was once a quiet and peaceful place until all of us #TwitterMigration folks showed up.So, thank you.

       @clive @thomasfuchs My BIL drove a 4x4 truck to work every day (about 1 mile). SIL drove a 4x4 SUV to scoot around town. Oldest child drove a 4x4 SUV to school (also about one mile). Her brother drove a 4x4 truck to the SAME SCHOOL. This was in Mesa, AZ where roads are flat and it snows about once every 10 years.

       When I visit my physician, not a mask in sight, other than the one I am wearing. Vaccination rate in my county is extremely low—less than 20%  Non-vaccination rate correlates with Trump voter rate, which was about 85%. Quite a few of these are former students (or their parents or siblings). I TAUGHT SCIENCE!! I feel like a failure.

       @thepoliticalcat Yup, I'm old enough that I have had at least THREE rounds of polio vaccine (Salk, Sabin, Salk2, etc.) plus boosters over the years. Since I spent a few years in Taiwan in the 1970s, I've also had shots for Yellow Fever, Typhoid, Typhus, Cholera, and a zillion gamma globulins. I had measles, rubella, mumps and chicken pox as a kid, but I got an MMR shot a couple of years ago--just to be cautious. I've had SEVEN Covid shots, flu shot every year for the past 15, and RSV this year.

       @thepoliticalcat My parents were ultra-paranoid about polio in the early 1950s; one of Mom's best friends spent her adult life in a wheelchair as a result of polio. Remember very well the fear.
