We have a site open 24/7 virtually next door but don't know that AZ has lowered
their 75 age limit yet. AZ is behind getting first responders done. and we
have visitors ... baby-Tyler, his wife and their baby arrived last night.
Marissa gets an unpaid week (so they don't have to fire any staff ... the
butterfly museum) leave each month ... so they are driving places. DP In a

Hi Everyone,My wife Barbara and I were given our covid-19 shots this morning.
Somehow Safeway received a batch. How were we informed? Well, a lady in
Barbara's book club heard about the opportunity from her ex-husband. That lady
started notifying people in the book club. Many of the people in the book club
and ladies bridge group are retired teachers who Barbara knew when she was
teaching. One lady from the bridge group notified Barbara and fifty others (she
is very active in her church and other senior type groups). We started
monitoring the Safeway medical dashboard and all of a sudden, many appointments
were available. We then notified some people in our mineral club who signed up
and notified others. When we showed up for our shot, we were asked how we knew
about the shot being available ( was it suppose to be a secret?). She asked if
we saw it on their website or received word from the county health department.
We don't normally frequent Safeway's website and had not thought of checking
the county health departments website. So, is the distribution of the vaccine
and our chance of signing up an act of randomness or an act of chaos? Perhaps
networking is an additional layer on top of those two factors. Certainly an
orderly plan of distribution does not come to mind. We were so excited about
the prospect of being vaccinated that we showed up at Safeway a day early ( and
were not the only ones to do so)! But, hell we can't tell one day from another
at our age! We get up in the morning and 26 wild turkeys are standing outside
staring in our windows, waiting to be fed. We feed them, have breakfast, walk
the community roads with our neighbors for exercise and social life. Then we
retreat to our hobbies. Good luck in getting your vaccine,Bob
