Not so Nasty News February 5th

Item #1: Little bottles

Years ago we visited the Corning Museum of Glass (CMOG), assuming that is what it is was called then. The pieces of carved and blown, and all the rest is worth a look. The web site is
CMOG

The photo here is of a worker inspecting a small glass bottle or vial. If you have just guessed this has something to do with the millions of doses of vaccine being shipped around the world, you get a gold star.

Item #2: What is going on?

Assume you have been in a coma since 1995. Now you wake and look at the woman. What would you think?
Correct. Society has gone kooky.

Item #3: From great to cranky

Last week our county was highlighted on news reports. Why? Because Kittitas County was doing better than any place in the USA with respect to its vaccination roll out. This past Monday there was a glitch. There was a surge of registrations reaching 100,000. The County’s population is about 50,000. The wait-list is temporarily closed. There was not a bunch of folks from other counties. There was an error in the system. Apparently there were a few other problems, thus they will use this opportunity to conduct additional troubleshooting before re-opening.

Item #4: We are eligible

While we can’t register for an appointment we can still get a cute form saying we are eligible.
There are no checks on one’s answers, so this seems pointless. Note, it uses the word “now.” We can’t get the shot now, but we are eligible now.
As of Friday, the shut down is still in effect.
I think the person that designed the message has a financial interest in an ink supplier. I’ve snipped about a third of the blue, and Nancy and I each have of one of these messages.

Item #5: Seattle

Sometime I’d like to show good news from Seattle. However, all the news from Seattle is nasty, but I have hope.

And that, for this week, is the not so nasty news.
