COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
Oh man, the VAERS database is riddled with that kind of stuff. "My 85 year old dad got the COVID vaccine. He fell and broke his hip two days later." Similarly, in the 5-11 aged Pfizer trial, one of the kids broke his/her arm. Obviously (to most people) that's not a side effect of the vaccine, but it still had to be logged.

Couldn't we just practice here and fly in the day before like any other road game? I want this to happen more than I should.

John Mueller has died
Way back on TOS I had brought up that he was speaking as part of a Foodways Texas Symposium and that I was bummed because you had to be a member to attend and I wasn't a member. He DM'ed me and asked if I wanted his guest pass because he got some because of his participation. He had a lot of faults. BBQ was not one of them. If you could graph his business and bbq acumen on a chart, I'm sure they'd be diverging axis. RIP

Either that's true and we don't need boosters or that's full of shit because there have to be 95 years olds with breakthrough cases that have have died from C19 complications.

AISD's (and other districts) Plans for Schools Starting August 18
Here's how AISD is announcing early release Wednesdays in today's email from the district: You'll have to click on the first link to see the "37 Early Release Wednesdays" down at the bottom. Seems like that's a little more important than telling everyone that Juneteenth is a staff holiday. "Early Release" has not been defined. Maybe it's just 30 minutes. Maybe it's two hours. But this is the kind of bullshit PR that's going to get parents riled up.

AISD's (and other districts) Plans for Schools Starting August 18
I have an 8th grader there. Lamar is our neighborhood middle school and my 5th grader will likely go there next year, but that's more of a result of my kids personalities than the schools. Feel free to ask me about kealing. I get the sense that kealing doesn't do a lot of the normal middle school community building stuff, like kids going to sporting events or have dances. They did pre-covid, but haven't brought any of that "rah rah go hornets" stuff back.

AISD's (and other districts) Plans for Schools Starting August 18
yup, it's every single Wednesday. More Teacher planning time. I think there will still be more educational minutes in the year if they adopt this, which means either the calendar or the other four school days get extended.

What's funny about blaming Waze is that when I went to F1 last month, printed on the back of my parking pass said "Use Waze to get to your lot"

COVID-19 vaccine discussion
I think no one really knows yet. My understanding is that boosters increase antibodies, which prevents illness from ever happening. Those wane over time, but your body still has immune memory should you get infected. When that occurs, it still takes a while (3-5 days) for your body to remember how to make the antibodies. You can still get sick, but your body will know how to fight it and prevent the serious hospitalizations. If you're somebody who can't ever even get sick, boosters are probably the correct course of action. But if you don't have any co-morbidities, you should be okay with the normal dosage. Of course, time will tell on that. I got a lot of that from the following Atlantic article, and it was retweeted from a lot of vaccine equity docs and scientists, so there's likely some of that slant to it. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/08/americans-are-losing-sight-endgame/619916/

Yes, they do. They're in the upcoming section and not sitting in my expired part of my digital wallet with all my airfares and old events ..

Concerts you are attending
I bought stones tickets for the original COTA show last year. Got a refund, but the tickets are still in my digital wallet and look like every other digital ticket I've ever used. Any one else had this situation and tried to use the ticket? Did it work? I'm thinking of it's still in my wallet on Saturday, I'm going to try it. Worst case is I drive out to COTA with their shit traffic and parking and I get turned away when it scans. Best case is I see them for free.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
Well, aside from AISD's mask mandate, what else would've expired at Official Stage 2?
