We Scored H1N1 Vaccine

When we went to the craft fair at the convention center, we happened to pick up a local paper and noticed an announcement that free H1N1 vaccine was available at the local health clinics. We called and found out that they were passing out numbers at 7:20 a.m. for the morning and at 12:30 p.m. for the afternoon session, with 60 passes available for each session. So today we packed a lunch, and after the dance we headed to the Mission Medical Clinic. We got our numbers and sat down to wait. We were pleasantly surprised that we were actually out of there by 2 p.m. So now we're protected--we hope.

Our friends thought we'd been out off-roading--the truck is covered with mud again. We've decided that it must be from the road construction we drive through on our way, so we're changing our route to get out the back way. Maybe we won't have to wash the truck every day.

The switch on the light over our table quit working last night. When we took it apart this afternoon, it fell in pieces, so we headed out to buy a new one, thinking that we could find one easily at Radio Shack. Think again! We went to Radio Shack, Home Depot, Advance Auto, O'Reilly's Auto, Mission Feed and Hardware, and Mission Hardware before giving up and coming home. I sat down with the parts and the clicker seems to work, so we'll reinstall it and see what happens.

Tonight we went through photos again. We're back through August, 2009, so we have quite a project ahead of us. We watched a Nature program on the Namibian lions, who manage to survive in the desert.
