Rolled-up sleeves and locked down stores
The new car went for its first visit to the dealership, this afternoon. Apparently all went well.

In a rare moment of optimism, the country (coast to coast) began injecting vaccine against Covid-19 into the arms of the willing. The best things start out small, so the actual number of doses administered remains symbolic. But, given the lead time, science has actually produced a miracle.
Do I sound like I’m sold on the idea? Oh, yes! Someone put it in simple terms: given the choice between the vaccine and the virus, which would you prefer? Right now, we have been told that “all who want can have it, between now and the end of summer ‘21”.
