We're All Going to Die

I got pretty close on Mother's day yesterday. Grilled NY strip steaks and pork ribs. Had a beer and wine. We also had stuffed mushrooms (!), clam chowder, pasta salad, and chocolate cake with ice cream (and fruit). But I remained conscious, as far as I know.
Hey, I tried to warn ya.......



But how as the steak?
:food2:
 
“ During a rare evening address, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced that Department of Health would end COVID-19 health orders on June 2, and in two weeks, the state would begin two weekly drawings for vaccinated Ohioans to win scholarships or $1 million. “

Hell yes.
I'll be signing up to get in on that lottery.
 
Moving to ohio forthwith. This is what it comes down to eh? Paying someone a million dollhairs to take a vaccine that may actually help them live. Of course it may not, but who are we to say.
 
Welcome to Ohio Geo!

If Vax-A-Millions is what it takes to get people to step up and get that goo in their arms, that's fine by me. It costs the State a lot more than that for the COVID to keep dragging out week after week. Besides, they will get half of it back when they deduct the taxes from your winnings.
 
Ohio State Covid Action Team strategy committee:

  • "What do the people who won't get vaccinated all have in common?"

  • "They all hang out at convenience stores buying lottery tickets and scratch tickets for hours, going between their car and the clerk to buy more tickets."

  • "Hey! I have an idea!"

NH just approved 12-15 year-olds to get the shot. My son gets his first on Tuesday.
 
Ya back to it. I'm keeping mine on in stores. Some joints around here been opening up. Had dinner at a bar last night. Few people indoors, the rest outsdie. But December comes then what.
 
Hopefully people keep getting their shots and we can reach that herd immunity before people start spending all their time indoors again.
 
Publix no longer requires masks for vaccinated people but when I was there yesterday every customer I saw except 1 was still masked...including me.

I'm not in the market to be 1 of 2 total customers who sticks out like a freaking sore thumb.

Although I really can't wait to go maskless in Disney. That's a little different though since it's outside.
 
Had band rehearsal yesterday. We're in this twilight zone, where we sit 10 feet apart, outside, in a school parking lot. But we don't need to wear masks, except for the band director, because he's a representative of a school system.

Also, we went out to dinner saturday night. Because of the visitors and vacationers being back, we avoided the tourist spots, and went to a place that only locals go to. They're known for having a nice outdoor patio area. Well the patio was all set up, but nobody was sitting outside. Inside, it was well-spaced, they still had their low capacity arrangement. So we ate inside. Overall, the weekend was like quasi-normal.
 
I'm trying to ease into it. We were trying to get to a Mud Hens game with some friends that have been fully vaxed too before June. They are limited capacity for the rest of May, then go back to full capacity in June. Partial capacity means that you pretty much get your own end of a row, and every other row (at your end) is empty. Unfortunately, I don't think our schedules will match up till June. I've been saying that I'll trust the CDC's guidelines, but it's a bit of a shocker to get used to the idea of crowds all of the sudden like this.

I suppose I'll be a big boy, go out in the real world, have a couple of hot dogs & beers, and have to have some fun.
