Your “All Killer, No Filler” Sunday Evening Open Thread

I know from the afternoon thread, and the early part of the evening one, that some people were hyped for the Kentucky Derby.

I was gardening at the time, so I missed all the fun & betting. HAIL GAMBLOR!

But I saw the replay on the news, and a four-way run to the line seemed like something pretty exciting. But those weren’t the only show ponies on display. Aaron Rodgers showed up, looking every bit the kid who spent his gap year in Europe after finishing the part-time job his dad got him,

I’m not going to say I was sceptical of the process or the vaccine, but I sure wasn’t going to be first. I just wanted to see if anyone turned into a zombie.

I was supposed to get an Astra-Zeneca, but instead got a Pfizer because I was late in the day & they had spares sitting out. Twenty-four hours later, aside from the feeling someone hit my arm with a bat I feel pretty good. I’m hoping that the eventual second dose – in four months, because the Canadian rollout is a clown show – will be about as painful with no other effects.
