    Yes, it's the one that was just approved a few weeks ago.

    I wonder what happened to the combined Covid/flu shot Moderna had a couple years ago. I was hoping it would be around by now.

    The fox is curled up on the back lawn, basking in the early autumn sunshine AND I found a shrew in the garden earlier. That's the first time I've seen a shrew "in the wild".

    Be careful with shrews, they have venom and their bites are painful.
    I spent a day mostly lazing about the house snacking and reading.

    Thanks for the information. I wasn't aware of that...not that I am in the habit of poking at the animals in the back garden...

    My mother and I went shopping at the Bazaar at her care home yesterday. Neither of us found anything we wanted to buy, but it was fun to shop together.

    This morning, I found four jobs that I felt comfortable applying for.

    I got my COVID shot today. I thought I’d have to wait a while!

    That reminds me to get a flu shot soon.

    I'm getting my covid and flu shots today. At my own store, for once!

    Went to the farmers' market today and the new season apples are here! Got some Newton Windsors, Adam's Pearmains and an orange pippin whose full name I can't remember... Guy says he'll have Hereford Russets next month.

    So nice to have REAL apples instead of the crisp, sweet but otherwise tasteless offerings of the supermarkets.

    I went to a work conference this week, and it was held in a refurbished, but very old building. I saw a mouse and the way it ran about made me smile. Those with rodent phobia have my sympathy, of course, but because I don't, I get to enjoy them. Thankfully the organizers managed to shoo it out of the room.

    Woke to a crisp, clear, beautiful fall morning.
    Thinking about inviting the World Leader GoofBalls to come sit on my porch and talk it out. Maybe then they can join this Thread. :hugegrin:

    Beautiful day in Tennessee. Walked the dog to a cool morning. Heading out with the wife to go to garden nurseries to buy grass seed and pansies. :cool:

    I'm jealous, I don't think there's any way we could apples that fresh anywhere here in Az.

    Went to Target to buy a couple items that the website said were in stock. One was a mislabel and not what they actually had, the other I couldn't find. Left empty handed. But what I couldn't find was unhealthy candy, so maybe that's a good thing?

    It was so chilly this morning that I got some work done outside and played with the neighbors' cats without being eaten alive by mosquitos for once.

    I found out that my store director, who hated my guts and did everything he could to make me miserable, was transferred. Against his will. :beer: :techman:

    Serves him right, the Nazi bastard.

    Finally found a plumber to come out and fix my leaky shower. He talked the whole durn time and told crazy stories but he did a good job.
