A few billion people on the planet and he was never better than about the 20th best 2nd baseman. Lol. Isn't that insane? Based on the human population he was so amazingly great, yet retired feeling like he didn't really reach his potential.

It won't happen to Vaughn. Let's all say it and light a candle.

It’s not caused by cell towers? We did a show last night at an Air Force base. That’s how to enforce masks. You can’t get through the gate with wearing a mask. Everyone immediately put it on when not actively eating or drinking. As in take a drink, put on mask. Take off mask, sip drink, put on mask. Biggest audience we’ve had in years and the safest I felt.

Aren't we like a family here? I hope you score soon.

Walking around my school the largest groups back are athletes and freshman. Smallest group seniors. We are still offering choice but pushing to get kids back on campus. Our protocols are slipping fast as the student to staff ratio increases. Golf courses are putting rakes back out and we're allowing pulling pins. Our state playoffs begin next week and the Covid rules are being dropped and we're back to normal. I wish I received my vaccine two weeks ago instead of one week. Next week seems like maneuvering through land mines.

The world was simpler then.

I think Matthew McConaughey is starting his run for governor tonight with his just keep living foundation and tonight’s fundraiser. He’s pulled in an A list of celebrities. Athletes, singers, actors, business leaders . . .

They are the ones scheduling vaccines now. I think states could do a better job.

It's all been downhill since they changed the height of the mound in 1968.

When my optimism gets too high, which has been often, I'm reminded that the franchise has never reached the playoffs in back to back years. That's right in over 100 years never reached the playoffs in back to back years. The excitement will be seeing how they collapse. Injuries? Dysfunctional clubhouse? Other teams play out of their minds (Incredible Indians, Ridiculous Royals)? Strike?

I laughed, then cried

In twenty years do you trust Walgreens to still have their pandemic vaccine software up to date?

Leaving it up to CVS and Walgreens isn’t working. Statewide scheduling of vaccines seems like an easier improvement than a national system.

I wasn't suggesting a national program. State by state works for me. Does every state use the same DMV and voter registration software? Seems like a private company could have developed the program and sold it to individual states.

Good start for teams from a football state.

That would be the easiest. But a private company, university, etc developing an app that any state or local government could buy would also work.

Note to our government. Next pandemic have an app for that. One sign up, and then notify people when and where to go. Or just have a nurse ride with an Amazon driver, they eventually go to every house except Balta's but he's a smart man and will find a vaccine somewhere. We had a year. Three drunk college students could have written the code in a month.

Three weeks ago I was in mine with several hundred people, today I walked right up, no waiting. I'm not certain if that means YEAH! we've been very efficient and have vaccinated a lot of people OR BOO, too many people are not getting vaccinated.

@Balta1701 this just highlights our differences. If five things are going great and one is still shit, you'll focus on that one and say nothing matters until everything is great. I'll see those five, be optimistic, and say we can beat that last one. I'm winning until defeated, you're defeated until you win. As long as we win, it's all good. The end result is what matters.

Your choice. I see a light at the end of the tunnel. We have a President that takes this seriously. We have a vaccine that is getting into people. Our medical facilities aren't being overrun. No shortages of critical supplies. I'm optimistic.

I still see a lot of mask wearing and hand sanitizing. Hopefully the trend continues as we get people back working. Good feeling.

My wife receives Pfizer part two today, I get it tomorrow. Hopefully we’ll not have too bad of reactions.

Hospitals are able to schedule all surgeries. No hospital bed shortages. Plenty of hand sanitizer, toilet paper, alcohol wipes, beef, chicken, etc in the stores. I think we're closer to the "I stopped throwing up a couple hours ago and realize I'm hungry but I probably shouldn't eat that cold pizza" stage. We obviously have a ways to go, and could have handled this much better, but man a year ago it looked very bleak.

When was the last time we worried about a respirator shortage? What areas are running out of hospital beds? Remember flattening the curve? We're in much better shape than a year ago. That seemed so long ago and it was less than a year.
