Unfortunately, yes... Sigh! It's West Virginia! What can I say? I've never been to WV, but I'll accept some shame on their behalf. Just to give you an idea about gun culture there, Senator Joe Manchin of WV is an interesting guy --a Democrat who loves guns and sometimes aligns himself with the Republicans against the Democrats on certain issues. He's frustrating the Biden administration's agenda right now, and has emerged as a very powerful person, now that the parties are tied 50/50 in the Senate, and his vote cannot always be counted on by the party leaders. Here's one of his campaign ads from 2010.... and another one a few years later...

and 461 days later, we found ourselves watching Football again at Cardiff City Stadium... Young experimental Wales team with the stand-in manager in a bad tempered 0-0 draw with Albania. A game with more heated exchanges than shots .. The game was the last game before the Euro tournament. A Covid test event for 6500 people so everyone was socially distant. The week leading up to the event we had taken 2 covid tests and had to provide proof before entry .... all in all there was more admin than your typical office job ... On the day we had to turn up an hour before once in the ground we could sit in the car park... such effort but for great reward.... after all this time sitting next to my son watching a game we both love, in a stadium that is our second home... It was Glorious!

NC now has a vaccine lottery! All previously vaccinated people in NC age 18 and over are already entered into each of the four Summer Cash $1M drawings. Those 12-17 years old who are vaccinated are entered into the drawings for one of four $125,000 scholarships to a university of the winner's choice. For both contests, those vaccinated June 10 or later will get their names entered twice... This is exciting news, but it's shameful that it has to come to this when people are literally dying elsewhere for want of a COVID vaccine. We are so fortunate here in the US, and in some cases we appear to be very spoiled. I'm glad we are at least (at last) sending large quantities of vaccines to COVAX for distribution to countries in need!

On my way to get my second jab, I had FOON in the CD player.
On cue, when the fourth track started, it started to rain.
Prophetic chap, Mr Lynne

Itchy? You are the first person I've heard to have an itchy arm after a jab!

until last night, an Aunt in NYC was the closest that Covid had come to my family but our son called last night to tell us he has it but is starting to feel better he had the J&J vaccine and he's only 25 so fingers crossed that there won't be complications he flew to Vegas for a sold out concert (Illenium) and thinks that is how he caught it even vaccinated 20 somethings aren't bullet proof I guess Japan is making the right call with no in person fans for their Olympics
