Got my flu vaccine a couple of weeks ago. Waiting for my 6 months to be up in December for my next COVID shot.

Good news but the summary says "so far" re resistance. Don't underestimate bacteria.

I'm in denial.

No to either. I read some of Fforde's books including "The Eyre Affair" (which I read before reading "Jane Eyre". Wasn't my best move.). Thanks for the heads up on "The Last Dragonslayer". "The Princess Bride" is on my TBR list.

At my local bookstore, the person was checkiing out my books and saw I bought one by Esther Freisner. Asked me if I ever read Terry Pratchett. I said no. Bought two of his books and then all the others in the Discworld series.

I've already read "Do Aliens Speak Physics?", "Better Not Burn Your Toast", and "Hidden Guests". All fine books.

Although immunity is weaker with the vaccine, it comes without "... fever, lymphadenopathies, skin lesions, and complications such as proctitis, bacterial infections, and scarring." You know someone is going to post why bother to vaccinate; the vaccine isn't perfect.

It's always a good day to look up The Dark Lady of DNA.
