The town Polling im Innkreis has ca. 1,000 people, and a vaccination rate of 45%. It's in the Braunau county which, due to rising infections, will likely see travel restrictions put in place shortly.

Meanwhile the mayor:



"I certainly won't start a vaccination drive because of rising infection numbers. There's such a thing as individual responsibility, after all."
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

The die is cast, I'm getting a booster later today.  Hopefully the weekend will be a long enough time to weather any side effects.
That was a letdown.  No side effects whatsoever.  The second shot kept me in bed for a day.

The people of Braunau need a real leader   :mad:

That individual responsibility doesn't extend to the mayor it seems.

Colin Powell has passed away from Covid complications, apparently. He was 84.

I didn't realize he was that old. I suppose he always looked younger to me.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Well he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs 30+ years ago. You probably need to be at least 50 to have that job.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
