Also, vaccine is not arriving in the quantities that the Feds say it is. PODs are announcing vaccine arrivals and taking appointments and then they have to retract and cancel.

Real clusterfuck.

The current deal in NY is that geezers like us can get them at the pharmacies now. My second one is due nest Monday at the CVS in Watkins Glen. And I didn't have to hassle with a 200' long receipt.

Better edit before Ed sees this. He gave me a warning once for typing "hustle my a__"

here in NJ appointments are scarce + when you do get one it is regularly canceled for lack of product -

Speaking of Watins' Glen, did you go to Woodstock in July 1969?

I believe Woodstock was in August. But coincidentally, I was at the J-Wax Can-Am race at Watkins Glen in July '69 (IIRC).

I wasn't interested in music back then (still not). Couldn't have cared less for 'Woodstock'. High tech race cars were much more interesting for the weekend. Watkins Glen and Mosport were both within driving distance and attracted the elite teams, technology, and drivers of the period.

Now, Formula 1, like Nascar, is just a popularity contest. No technology, just spec cars/engines, and a driver that is acceptable to millennials. Corporate ownership, design by committee, no innovation allowed. What a sorry end to what should be the pinnacle of engineer's dreams.

BTW: Watkins Glen is on top of a 'mountain' in central New York state. The F1 races were always the first weekend in October. 'The Glen' is the most miserable place to be in October; cold, wet, windy, overcast, rainy, muddy, food stores sold out, no snack food to be found anywhere. The only redeeming service was the Genesee brewery sending a converted milk tanker full of fresh beer and hundreds of plastic gallon jugs.
