2nd Shot

 We shot some more pictures!

I find this pretty funny that I didn't realize this said "flu" shot on this sign. We were excited to be getting "The 2nd" shot for Covid, and I guess too much to even read the sign until now. Hahaha. Should we go back and get the flu shot? Give us shots for everything!



The shot was so quick! Last time there was a big line but this was a total walkthrough. Bumped down to position 3 this time. It's cool; in racing sometimes the third position is the best as you wait for the top two people to stress eachother out and when they make a mistake you can swoop into the lead.


Here's the proof! I felt a little bad blanking out all the anonymous stuff, because it seemed like they cared enough to write the text very beautifully. It was an odd feeling, because on the one hand,... YAY! Now I can be part of the "honor system" and honestly be not as afraid of Covid (but still a little?) But immediately it was a cringe that we knew there was going to be "side effects" more prominent with the 2nd shot.

Thankfully we got the shot on a Friday and planned on couch-potato'ing the weekend away. That night my friend did indeed wake with "the chills" which lasted maybe a half-hour tops, and later awoke burning up with a 101.4 fever. Tylenol taken, and then slept fine. After that, it was pretty okay. And maybe we could have gone out and done stuff but we were glad the plan to veg-out worked out so well.


Being cooped-up in the apartment all weekend, on Monday morning there was a ton of yellow pollen all over the car! 


Did I really need two pictures of the pollen? It seemed like a lot, but I'm not sure this picture makes it look that way. C'mon nature, how about some rain? Don't make me have to clean this off myself!


Whew! Back out to get some normal pictures. This tree's name must be Annie. Annie are you okay? Are you okay Annie? You've been hit by, you've been struck by.... a smooth criminal.


You might be wondering what this empty office place is? Dramatic pause... our company is moving to a new warehouse! It's only like 5 minutes down the street from our building right now, so it's not that dramatic of a change, really.


It's neat to see the big open spaces that will eventually be filled with a big mess of desks and cubicles or whatever. And it's kinda neat to see windows inside a building. Windows usually go to the outside, does anybody else think it's cool to see them between rooms like this?


I'm not sure of the exact math numbers, but this place is like a hundred times bigger than the old warehouse. Hahaha.... a hundred? That's too much. Okay it's like three times the size. Not enough? Somewhere between three and a hundred.


Here's where the previous owner's super villain tortured super spies. Or... did maybe a helicopter get stuck up there? It doesn't look too big in this picture, but that fan up there is massive.


This area that the camera is pointing will eventually be our new home. Err... work-home. Place we work. They plan on putting up a wall where those windows are, so we're not sure how much of that awesome outside light we'll lose. It's still a long way away before we actually move over here, but they took us on the tour, so I got the pictures.


Newman! Okay that was his name on Seinfeld. I'm not sure they titled this correctly as "Dennis Nedry Getaway Pack" since he didn't quite... get away.


The one part about the Brady Bunch that doesn't make any sense. The Dad, Mike Brady, has an obviously "good paying" job as an architect. He can afford the giant house, all of the meat-market food and stuff for the six kids, a full-time maid, and.... they have a crummy station wagon?


Check out those super tiny Jurassic Park vehicles! These are great for people who want collectibles, but like, no shelf space. They are soooo small that you should have no trouble finding some space for them, somewhere.


Minty in rear view mirror may be closer than she appears. I was going to take this picture outside in the dirt, to be more authentic, but I got kinda lazy.


At this point, we are pretty certain that The Masked Singer is completely scripted; who leaves and who stays. The last couple of seasons even inserted fake audience reactions into the blank stages, for Covid reasons of course. This disclaimer caught at the end admits the fake people, but also mentions real voting? We just don't think there was any way Seahorse did not win her season, that HAD to be scripted so she could promote her Xmas album on the show a few episodes after she was voted off. Who exactly is "voting"?


Hmm.. the bottom of my Quarter Pounder with Cheese box says "made with a minimum 37% post-consumer recycled content" which sounds like it's referring to the box itself, but under that it says "Weight before cooking 4 oz." which is obviously NOT the box. Um... what did I just eat?


How do you know if your cat is going to need this version of a scratcher? I mean, not that there's anything wrong with that. Does that Seinfeld line still hold up, or is it somehow insensitive now? Feels like it would still be good. Anyway, Happy Pride Month, I guess... if I can say that.


Another funny thing caught in the weekly Target add. Why does it sound like the Unicorn Bomb would destroy Unicorns, but the Treasure Bomb would like, explode treasures everywhere? Weird.


From the time we started the car, to the time we pulled into the now-nearest KFC, it was a full 35 minutes. This is an awesome sandwich though. Worth it.


I hate to tell the Mega Construx people this, but they are several years late with the Game of Thrones figures. Even though I personally did not have much trouble with the way they ended the series, others say it was so terrible it retroactively erased the entire series legacy and now nobody even remembers it was a thing at all. Is that some kind of evil magic?


We saw this Moff Gideon figure and noticed the blank space in the package where there is probably supposed to be The Dark Saber. It's awful that someone would steal the one piece out of this and not just buy the whole figure. But if you saw the show, you know that's a pretty important piece and the fact that it's missing is kind of funny. Was he defeated in honorable combat? The Dark Saber would lose its "power" if it was merely stolen.
