Five! How's things in the Big Easy?

After this came down today, it was elbows and a$$holes up here in Big Sky. Don't know what will happen, but I feel like Eisenhower right before D-Day, who just had half of his divisions yanked. How the heck am I going to deal with 75,000 people who need flu vaccine but can't get it? OMG.

There was a little rain today and just the slightest suspicion in the wind -- wind! -- this evening that somewhere in the world it is "Fall" so I can't complain.

(It's been blistering down here the past week ... )

It's good to see you ... I wondered what you might have to say about all this. I've only had flu shots twice. One of the attorney's doctor hubbies had his people come give them to us for free. I'd refused the first year but one of the Mother Hen secretary sorts who inevitably look after me whenever I land in the coop made me do it the next two.

Do you think it's really a must? I'm hardly ever sick as it is and (the three days of feverish dreams upon my return from Russia aside =) the one year I did get fluish was a year I'd had a shot.

So ... I'm not a big believer in the flu shot, Doc.
(Bet you wish you had more like me to make your life easier. =)


And I had no idea we relied so heavily on England or had such a small circle of suppliers. Did you know that? How come America doesn't make its own vaccines?

I always figured flu vaccines would work like bee pollen ... I get it local or I don't bother. Why wouldn't it be the same for shots?
