I drove my wife to get it last sunday. 260 miles each way in rainstorms. It was worth it. It gave her and me peace of mind. I am younger than her and very fit. I am not too worried about myself but I was for my wife. She is getting the next one march 14.

so we decided that next time on march 14 we will stay overnight. we booked a bed and breakfast. we figure its safe, they satinize the room and its three bedrooms in the b&b. we will just avoid the common areas and stay in the room.

not rich but comfortable enough. we rarely stay in hotels. on the rare ocasions we do, we pay a bit more for mom and pop bed and breakfast. I would rather support them than an hotel chain. Its also more comfortable.

Hubs and I got Pfizer #1 two weeks ago and hopefully will get #2 next week. Unused runway at Arlington Airport in a tent. Sooo rural WA!

I'm 68, so I guess VA dropped the age requirement lately. They called me and scheduled both shots.

Looking forward to it.

2nd will be March 15. In Minnesota last week, the Thrifty White drugstores opened up taking appointments online. I persisted and got in. What a relief! Arm a little sore but otherwise feel fine.

Always good to see how we DUers hang together. So nice to see some competence in gov't after the last 4 years.

Will try to keep you all informed.
