There's only 1000 people living in this nearby town!
And, here's the story with some interviews in the town from the Seattle Times:


"town motto: 'not on the way to anywhere but here' " Yeah, I didn't know that but that was my impression of many of the residents of Republic. If you want to explore the thinking a little further, click the last link in the article's text "gut-level deal."

i think we dodged the bullet here so that is good, neither of us has felt bad or noticed any difference over the usual. *whew!* sadly, the pod person is sick and we worry about them.

next shot for me Tuesday.

"It's been a success."

Free Beer!


when you consider what an ICU hospital stay runs it may make a heck of a lot of sense for the state to offer incentives to people to get more people vaccinated...

i may have to talk to Mom about how many kilos of chocolate it will take. :)

pod person made it through without any lung troubles, it all stayed in their head, but they did lose their sense of smell and taste.

i hope we can get case numbers down as much as we did last summer. it sure helps to be able to be outside and to be warm again. :)

So what would it take to get a person to get vaccinated? 50 bucks? A steak dinner? If you wouldn't do it for 50, would you do it for 100? (Like the old joke about "Would you have sex with me for $100?")
I have had an idea for quite a while on how to get people to quit smoking. Especially people on limited incomes. It involves paying them, while monitoring them and blood testing. So far I haven't pitched it to Medicaid. But I might.
