Our building’s common area has been closed for a year. Today
one end was opened for a COVID-19 inoculation event. Seems “social distancing”
wasn’t a concern from the chair placement.
Chair placement didn’t matter. Six people from a 92 unit
building came. Of course, many residents have already been inoculated. Several
have then been hospitalized. Not too surprising, this is an age 62+ building
with most of us 70+.
Two neighbors are retired nurses. One of them has two Doctor
brothers. Both are refusing the shots. One, Marge, pointed out the size and
length of the needles being used. She said the needles needed for most shots
are much smaller. Only when you need to go through muscle to reach the arm bone
do you need that sized needle. Ouch!
Both of these retired nurses say they will reconsider when
the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is available since it is a vaccine, not some
experimental concoction the present two shots seems to be.
As for myself, I haven’t had a flu shot in years and haven’t
had the flu. I do spend a lot of energy and money bolstering my immune system.
As always, YMMV.
The Weld County Sheriff Department is having some success
solving cold cases, the most recent a 46 year old case. There is a retired
deputy, who calls my sister, “Mom”, who started the dedicated effort a few
years ago. She was successful and the current sheriff has kept people working
cold cases full time.

I’m fortunate to live in a small city with a decent police
department. That wasn’t always the case but a long serving chief came in and turned
things around. It is not just the big crimes and the gangs that get
investigated. I was recently a person of interest as a porch pirate.
I order an item online and didn’t notice I put in my address
wrong; last digit 5 instead of 2. Have you ever tried to wade through UPS’s website
to make a correction? When I was
notified the package was delivered I went to the address. No one was home and
the only tracks in the fresh snow were the UPS drivers. I retrieved the
package. Seems I was caught on camera and later seen walking Banner by the
house, again caught on camera. A few days later a polite but very professional
young lady was at my door. I was able to prove my case from records on my
computer.
I was impressed the department even bothered.
Other dealings with the police department haven’t been as
pleasant. Root cause is my scofflaw attitude toward speed limits.
Spoiling the narrative, more on the Boulder jihadist.

This, in spite of Colorado having passed and enacted all the
gun grabber wet dream laws, didn’t stop
a determined criminal.
While where and how he bought his firearm is known, the
unanswered question is where did he find ammunition?
