I saw this on FB today:

Pro tips for gasoline hoarders:
Once you've filled your bathtub with gas, you can camouflage the smell by putting scented candles around the edge of the tub.

Good evening, all!

(A laurel and hearty welcome back, sir.) (Why, thanks!)

[Jane]

Welcome home.

[ChasSmith]

I got on I-275 at 6:45 am this morning, and pulled into my driveway at 6:00 pm. I don’t think my stops added up to more than 45 minutes this time. It was a grueling push the whole way, and this DR is dead tired but happy to be back. I shall ketchup aplenty in the morn’.

[Jennifer]

The young waitress the other night was not getting vaccinated and said "I have done my research".  It was very difficult not to ask her what consisted of her research.  I personally find most medical studies difficult to completely understand & I expect those are not what she read as part of her research.

I don't understand is she planning to continue wearing a mask until there are no more covid cases?  I just don't get why she is bragging about this. Who is going to want to be waited on by her?

She didn't brag.  I asked, leading up to the question if she was vaccinated would she be permitted to stop wearing her mask at work.  The response was they still had to wear masks, vaccinated or not.

[Jane]

I have noticed people are sensitive about answering that they are not getting vaccinated.  Probably because they know I think they should be vaccinated, especially when dealing with the public.

While I am very pleased with my vision since getting new glasses, and with my optometrist office, had I known they weren't vaccinated I would have gone elsewhere..  I am glad I postponed any more office visits until I was protected.

Good evening.

DR Singdaw,

The best way to make hard-boiled eggs is in the Instant Pot.

Put the eggs on the rack, add one cup of water.
Set on high for 5 minutes.
Let it sit 5 minutes after it beeps.
Put in ice bath for 5 minutes.

[Laura]

They cook perfectly, and they are very very easy to peel.

[Jane]

DR Laura how long do you cook a soft boil egg in there?

[singdaw]

Super!   Thanks, DR Laura.  The way I tried was OK, but not 100% satisfactory, so I look forward to trying your method.

[singdaw]

Pleased that DR ChasSmith is safely home and amongst us, though understandably quite tired.

[singdaw]

  I don't understand is she planning to continue wearing a mask until there are no more covid cases? 

That's the crux of the problem right there. The people that aren't getting vaccinated probably never work masks to begin with, and probably aren't going to now. So they're endangering themselves as well as prolonging the pandemic.

I suspect it is true for most of them.  Those that shouldn't get vaccinated will continue to wear mask.

Good night, friends.

Right now, Alexa is providing me with a lush and sassy array of Dinah Washington.

I love "Relax, Max!"

It's relatively new to me, and I love it.

[John G.]

Well, the sausage and peppers were a hit. The paella was good but not great. I don't make it enough to have remembered everything I was supposed to do. Everyone else liked it, and the rest of the food. 

[George]

And, from the sublime to the ridiculous:

I love The Far Side!

Gratuitous Post #111!!!

Hi, John.

[John G.]

But someone brought one of those cakes that are actually a quarter of four different cakes on a plate. We tried small bites of the three non-chocolate cakes and they were dreadful. The best wanted to be a lemon cake but it tasted more like it had been made with Lemon Joy.

Another one was hard to describe. Acrid fake vanilla? Fake mint? Fake, yes. But too fake to figure out what.

The third was just bland.

[John G.]

Hi, John.

Hi, George. How goes it?

[George]

The Silent Move Series for which I ushered today featured two Harold Lloyd movies:  Speedy and High and Dizzy.  Here's the description from the Washington Center's website:

Two shorts from “The King of Daredevil Comedy” Harold Lloyd. Speedy (1928) sends Lloyd on a tour of New York City, featuring glimpses of Yankee Stadium, Coney Island, and Babe Ruth as himself. High and Dizzy (1920) finds our man getting tipsy on a then-illegal stockpile of liquor before making a daring rescue at dizzying heights. Thrilling special effects made this an audience favorite! © 2021 Harold Lloyd Entertainment, Inc.

World-class theater organist Dennis James brings the silent era to life on our historic 1924 treasure: The Mighty Andy Crow Wurlitzer Organ. Experience the silver screen as it was meant to be seen! Our Silent Movie Series is a signature event at the Washington Center. We welcome people of all ages to step back in time and enjoy the sound and nostalgia.

[George]

Hi, John.

Hi, George. How goes it?

It goes well.  The two silent movies were very good, and the live organ music playing is always fantastic!

From DR George:

Well, they don't only serve pizza, but it was just a suggestion...mainly self-serving.  I have some gift cards that I haven't used.

LOL.  Keith had an impossible burger.  He likes them, as does Craig.  I didn't think much of the bun or sauce they use, but yes they do have other options and it would only be for lunch.  I would even have an impossible burger, with mayo & ketchup vs their sauce. 

I confirmed with Keith and he is fine with it, or anywhere you want to meet.

Tom would be coming from Puyallup, so he may have some suggestions.

You would think that in all of Western Washington, between Vancouver and Tacoma, there would another place to eat besides Rock Wood Fire Pizza.

I bow to the majority.

When did it become against people's civil rights to require a vaccination to stop the spread of a pandemic?  I guess it was the same time that machine guns and bazookas became part of our Second Amendment rights.

My apologies.  I try not to say anything political on this site, or any other site for that matter.  That is why I quit going to Facebook.

Good questions, though!
