    been slowly getting my '97 Limited in tip top shape...getting ready to replace the timing belt...and new brake pads....she's at 256k....underneath, fairly clean...not much rust..come spring, I'll go under..take care of any rust...and repaint frame as needed.....

    Everyone knows...the Vaccine for Covid, is being rolled out in most U.S. cities...Some people will take it....Others will flatly refuse....and still others, will take a wait and see attitude, to see how people respond to it, and if it's any sign effects...a'la I am Legend....here's a mail art postcard...draw your own conclusions....

    I got a vaccine. My wife is an NH Administrator, and I am working with the NM National Guard administrating Covid tests. I also am in the high risk category as I have a stent. I have seen first hand what Covid can do. While I also believe that the numbers are skewed to induce a particular response, I do also get a flu shot, a pneumonia vaccine and shingles shots. YMMV.

    Good for you.....I'm in the high risk group. My wife is a lab tech...so I've been brought up to speed.....and follow all guidelines...myself, I'm going to wait and see how it plays out....but until then, I'll continue to do what is required. Anyone who takes the vaccine, more power to you...and please stay safe...

    We've been super careful. Near zero social interactions. Increasingly, families I know have had a family member or more catch it. It feels like it's been closing in on us. The vaccine can't come soon enough. I will literally drag my elderly mother to the Dr myself if she hesitates.

    We got offered them at work last week. I'm young healthy and no underlying health issues. I opted to not to take it. Figure when everyone has to get the second vaccine in a month I can pick up a shit ton of overtime when they all call in sick.

    You should take it so you don't become a vector. That's more important for the people around you.

    From what I've read none of the vaccines are known to prevent the transmission of the virus. That would mean you're a vector if you take it or not.....

    Hi,

    I am still dying to understand, when and how did BG (Bill Gates) become the creator and controller of human life? His videos have been floating since early 2000s and the LARGE news outlets dont even bat en eye in his direction. hmmm... I think I have said too much....

    Are you referring to all his farm land? Or is this some conspiracy thought?

    I'm high risk (diabetic) but I'll be waiting at least a couple years to make sure the human race survives... the 'I Am Legend' event as you say

    I'm not a risk taker. 0.4% chance of death by not taking it, unknown chance of side effects if taking it... I'll take the known 99.6%. The fact that people and politicians want to force you to take it makes me even more wary.

    Also side note: I used to get the flu shot every year and got the flu anyway once every 2 or 3. Stopped getting the shot, and I magically stopped getting the flu.

    Plumbers make so much the same reason healthcare costs so much - people over-utilize them and can't take care of basic tasks themselves. Faucet replacement? Call plumber. Pulled a muscle? Doctor's visit.
    Demand is high.
