It really doesn't, especially since it's such a new vaccine. It hasn't
been out long enough to gauge the efficacy.
 
Still, Bruce seems to think because there aren't any problems right now
in Australia it can't happen. It can if people ignore what lots of
other people chose to ignore when the GLOBAL outbreak began early last year.

I'm not going to wear a face mask because covid's bad in the US.
 
Just like you don't call the fire department when there's a bushfire
in Australia.

The US has 20,000,000 cases per million people. Australia has 28,000
per million. In other words: Australia has 0.14% of the number of
cases that the US has. If that changes, people's attitude will change
too.

Isn't it uncomfortable to read a book in your computer chair?

I only go to the doctor once a year, basic checkup and to get my one
prescription refilled. I don't need to take 100 books (I only read one
at a time) or the entire Internet with me. Then again, I'm not sitting
in the waiting room or in the car waiting for someone else for any great
length of time. Still, if a book is good enough it will hold my
attention for hours. If I thought I was going to be there for hours I'd
bring a second book.

The more books one has the more likely that is. I've done it, too.

I have to now since they don't have magazines out.... that and you can't
go in until your appointment time. I am amazed at the number of people
who are content to sit and wait for an appointment and don't read.

Yep, and each tribe in tanzania cooks up different vittles.

Well, double heck...I have the paperback version right on my bedside
bookshelf. I'm not even sure I've ever read it - don't remember the
story. Maybe I'll read it tonight.

Multi-focal doesn't work well for everyone. Cindy does a lot of
computer work. Once upon a time I did, too, so I inquired about them.
The ophthalmologist at the time didn't think they were a good fit for
me. Maybe the technology is better now; I wouldn't pretend to see
through Cindy's eyes.
 
I love Transitions lenses. Swapping Rx sunglasses for regular Rx
glasses when I got out of the car and was driving to work or to a store,
then vice versa (lather, rinse, repeat) when back home or simply
wanting to be outside when it's sunny was a PITA. The lenses change
very quickly.

heh, no, i've never been much to play around to begin
with and those i've been serious with the most have
either been surgically sterile or on BC and i'd know
if they'd lied. let's just say i've seen too many
young kids pregnant and i sure didn't want any part of
that.

You never know. You could always hear a knock on the door and a really

The better you can smell the chlorine, the harder it has to work to
make your water drinkable. Eew.
