But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

27% more effective than standard flu vaccine. Folks 50+ are eligible. I found it at a local Walgreens in Connecticut. CVS did not have it at the time. Side effects kindof sucked for about 36 hours; a worthwhile tradeoff imo.
The first mRNA flu shot is now available. Here’s who can get it

CVS pharmacies in Connecticut have Novavax covid vaccine in stock. Got mine today. Feeling fine; just a sore arm; no other side effects. Now the hunt begins for the new mRNA flu vaccine, as CVS doesn't have it. Very grateful for the new vaccines, but it shouldn't be this complicated to find them!

A barred owl has taken to visiting my yard, and I am so thrilled! Such a beautiful and haunting call! Seen as a bridge between worlds, a harbinger of change, and a protective guide to navigate change; I welcome it's presence. ❤️🦉
Hear the Many Different Hoots of the Barred Owl
The increasingly common owl has more than a dozen calls, including one that sounds like a monkey.

At 9am on 9/11/2001, my loved ones were on a flight from Boston to L.A. We didn't know which flights went down for many hours. Then we got word, their flight was diverted to Canada, and they were kept safe and well until they could return home. Very thankful for our good neighbors to the north.❤️ 🇨🇦

Covid vaccines reduce the risk of hospitalization & death in all age groups by 50% or more. Vaccines continue to be valuable but the Vax-and-Relax strategy used under both Trump and Biden is insufficient, resulting in continued death & disability.
