Scarlet Pimpernel

Take care of yourself! I've heard that happens for both the 2nd Pfizer and Moderna shots, or at least it's highly variable (either little reaction or feeling out of it for a day). One time years ago, I felt awful soon after a tetanus shot (one of the TDP ones, can't recall which). But the next time I was due for another one, no real issue other than a sore arm.

OK, both of you younger geezers...get off my lawn!!

If you danced like Ron Paul in that gif, I guarantee you we'd all be laughing at you! Congrats on shot #2!!!

I love the expressions that cats give! Like they're putting up with us mere humans sometimes... Cat translation: Can't you see I have better things to do than get my picture taken!! Cat translation II: ...important stuff, like lying in this nice sunbeam!!

17 years of living under the ground, followed by 3 weeks of singing and mass fornication... Sounds like typical spring break time in Florida!!

Yeah, I kind of remember them starting relatively early here in the DC metro area, like early May in 2004. But I also recall that year was very warm in April/May so perhaps that's part of the reason. They also "ended" sooner, like not long after Memorial Day weekend, in early June. This year, I think it's been cooler leading into this month overall (i.e., more "normal"), so maybe that's been what's going on? I thought the normal time was mid-May to mid-June, there about.

Cool! My daughter is 17, and is eligible for the Pfizer shot (once I can get her in for one, looks like it's getting easier now). So far that has been the only one available down to age 16 I think.

Happy "May the Fourth be with you" Day!! (I'm sure @yoda will be celebrating!)

Congrats! So did Ron Paul give you the 2nd shot??

Don't worry. We'll get the brood after the brood, and the ensembles look good for 17 years from now!

Back edge is already approaching. <Ji> Brood X cancel!! </Ji>

Woot!! Congrats!!!

Gorgeous photos!! Thanks for sharing those...

We need to stick to angle puns...

Heh! Hockey trash talk may reach the levels of political and COVID discussions at this rate!! BTW...dammit, now I really want popcorn!!

Was able to land a Pfizer vaccine at a nearby local CVS, 1st one tomorrow and 2nd one in May!! Seems a lot of slots opened up at several locations suddenly. Woot!!

I mean, right?! All the geeks crawl out of the woodwork with silly math/geometry related puns! Wait...I resemble that remark!! Sorry if I struck a wrong...chord!

The arc of an obtuse angle is long, but it bends toward 180.

+1 for the Chef Gordon Ramsey reference there!! All you need is the "F" word!!

Acutely aware of the bad jokes in here! Might have to sine myself up for more. But that might result in circular reasoning. Reminds me of that geometry teacher baseball team, called Angles in the Outfield! I'll do a 180 and see myself out now...

I believe those were common instruments carried around by the former Reaper (Panic Connoisseur!), @WxWatcher007!! Maybe they're being repurposed!

Haven't really looked where I'm at but wouldn't be surprised if there are hints of them starting their path upward. Not sure if this is earlier than usual, I thought they normally really start coming out about mid-May. Maybe it's a bit earlier than that then, on average. Seem to recall them arriving about early May in 2004, though I also recall it was pretty warm at that point too. I look forward to @Jebman jebwalks through the cicadas, taking in their songs! Would that be called a jebbrood walk then (for Brood X, or any Brood)?

@wxtrix and @Mrs.J, many thanks for the information!!
