It’s Thursday, and it’s the start of a fresh new weekend of blogging. Longtime readers of my blog will know that this was once a Thursday night tradition. I only do this every once in a while these days. It’s my ‘Mini-Thoughts’ – a rapid-fire session of random thoughts on my mind right this minute:
- I got my first dose of the Moderna COVID vaccine a couple of days ago.
- Right now only Seniors are getting in Florida.
- I work for the military, so I was lucky to get it early.
- My second dose will be in 4 weeks.
- I got the COVID vaccine 18 days after getting the Shingles vaccine.
- That was my second of two doses of the Shingles vaccine.
- I am not an “anti-vaxxer”.
- I didn’t know there was such a thing as an “anti-vaxxer” until recently.
- Some don’t get vaccines because they believe they do more harm than good.
- Some don’t get vaccines because it’s against their religious beliefs.
- Getting vaccines are a personal choice for each individual.
- I neither promote nor denounce vaccinations to anyone.
- I recently signed-up for the Discovery Plus streaming service.
- If I’m not careful I can easily binge-watch shows on it for many hours.
- Looks like I’ll soon sign-up for Peacock as it absorbs WWE Network.
- I also like to “Hulu & Hibernate”.
- I don’t “Netflix & Chill”.
- I’m looking forward to my upcoming Florida road-trip.
- Looks like I’ll cover about 575 miles in 5 days.
- I’ll blog all about it after I return home.
- Looks like I’ll drive more miles this month than 7 months last year.
- Next month I’ll drive more than twice as many miles as this month.
- It’s been a chilly winter here in South Florida.
- I was shivering in December and the first-half of January.
- I think it’s our coldest winter since 2010-2011.
- Recently we’ve enjoyed a few days in the 80s for the first time in 2021.
- But it’s gonna get chilly again starting today.
- 50s in the morning is chilly for us.
- We’ve had 7 mornings in the 40s since the start of December !
- Exactly 35 years ago today the Space Shuttle Challenger disintegrated.
- It occurred right after I got home from work (in England).
- I think I watched BBC coverage of it for the rest of the night.
- Exactly 2 years ago today I was in the middle of the Caribbean on a cruise.
- We were supposed to spend the day on Grand Cayman Island.
- But we couldn’t reach the island due to ferocious northerly winds.
- A strong cold front had made it deep into the Caribbean.
- It was an unusually chilly day on the islands and at sea.
- So we had an “extra fun day at sea”.
- I can’t wait to get back on a cruise next year.
- Here’s my towel animal from exactly 2 years ago:
