This is for everybody, due to the subject matter. Those of you who think you know everything about TCinLA likely don’t know that I am a lifelong scale model hobbyist - building plastic model airplanes (they’re not toys any more - the 10 year olds who used to build them all grew up), some of which are in some air museums. Anyway, today I stopped by that nicest of all local institutions, my Local Hobby Shop (they’re a vanishing species, replaced by online shops that are never out of stock), a place I call Cheers For Nerds. As I got there, they were kicking out a customer, telling him he was unwelcome to ever come again. When I saw who it was, I was really happy: this guy I’ve seen 4-5 times in the year since the shop re-opened in the pandemic easing last summer, he wears a bandanna not a mask, and pulls it down as soon as he steps inside. Yeah, unfortunately, my hobby as more than its share of senile old Trumpscum morons. But they were telling him he was a repeated offender, that he was putting at risk several staff members (the manager is recovering from a heart attack last month, two others have at risk relatives they care for, then there are those of us customers like me caring for a partner who’s an invalid) and that “We don’t need your business.”
I resubscribed. I just wont read the comments (lie) and get in fights. Promise. Alberta and Saskatchewan have GOP style premiers and the sick and dying are piling up. The rest of Canada (TROC) is doing not bad
I got my third shot two weeks ago, Moderna...due to chemo weakened immune system. Not sure how they did it before approval but not complaining at all. Loved walking along with you as you did your errands and had your experiences--fun! Still praying every night for you two. Thanks, TC.
Thanks for the good news on employer vaccine mandates. As a retired nurse-midwife and public health professional, I do not understand the vaccine resistance among some health care workers. Unless they have a genuine medical reason to avoid the vaccine they should not work in a health care setting. I do not think that there should be any "religious" exceptions to vaccine mandates either.
My husband and I got our Pfizer boosters on Tuesday. We each had a sore arm for one day, but no other side effects. High-dose old-codger Flu shots next week.

Loved all the great news. Loved the personal share of the travails and triumphs of your fave local hobby shop.
Will be getting third boost from Moderna when available. Meanwhile, there’s an annual flu shot to indulge in.
Love good health and science that supports robust discovery for the common good of earth and its creatures.
