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.

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
