Boulder's downtown rally was just getting started when this was published, we had a few thousand at the least and people were streaming in, so can we call this a likely undercount? And lots of them were fiery old hippie boomers having their say once more (like me).

According to @fredrick.bsky.social, curator of the excellent Seven Good Things weekly email, this was Diane Keaton's favorite scene of all time. I love this movie, and if you have a romantic bone in your body this scene will make your heart ache a little. Well done, Diane. youtu.be/CfAZOpPEwo8?...

He's mentally practicing how to say "whence" for his pretentious sign-off

Brings back the memory of my father saying "boys will be boys" to explain why I had to have different, much more restrictive rules than my three brothers. Maybe he should have restricted the boys then, right?

Thank you, that's kind of you, my arm is still red and swollen but everything else back to normal. Just wasn't expecting the kickback from Novavax, which has been pretty easy for me previously. Flu shot next week. Glad you've gotten yours!

Even Novavax was kind of awful this time in its new formula. Damn.

Woman here ... my favorite car ever was my Toyota Corolla wagon. So good it got stolen twice! In Chicago! Then I started getting parking tickets for it even though a theft report was on file.

Thank you for this. Typepad just shut down and with it went two old blogs of mine, and it made me sad thinking about the initial satisfaction of blogging and discovering other bloggers.

Successfully got my updated #Novavax covid vaccine today. Super quick and easy. The Novavax website has a new vaccine locator and conveniently, my local grocery store/pharmacy (a Kroger's affiliate) has it, so I got a good 3.5 mile walk on a beautiful autumn day in the process.
