My little feel good episode today

Had to visit/ had a dr appt today at hospital, blood work and dr visit
All is well… dr most concerned with whether I’ve had my 4th booster, which I promised to get pdq..

But it was after, taking the shuttle back to the parking deck, took it there and back … it was the same driver, older black gentleman, I think he recognized me as I’m the older grey bearded ponytailed white dude in the straw hat, and he motioned me into the front passenger seat as I prefer that seat (slightly claustrophobic)
Anyway on the ride back to the parking deck he had the radio tuned to the hearings… I kept my mouth shut so to listen too

As we were parking I leaned over and pointed to the radio screen and asked
“Have you been keeping up with all of these?”

And he said “oh yeah ….( pause…) not learning anything new”

I paused and said “ well, we pretty much knew it all, all along didn’t we?”
He broke into a hearty chuckle and said “ Yes we did”

I thought we were going to hi 5 and fist bump as we laughed together …

He said “ you have a nice afternoon sir” and I said “you too, and thanks for the ride”

Got home just in time for 2nd half of the hearing after the break …

There are too many out there who would threaten us with guns if they knew our opinions.

And, yes, I'm just like the driver: I didn't learn anything new (except that some insurrectionists felt remorse), the hearings just confirm what I knew or suspected to be true.
