Quick one today, because:

[Do I Still Need Boosters?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/with-7-vaccine-shots-and-a-covid-infection-years-ago-do-i-still-need-boosters-or-am-i-done-for-good/1032583/28)

Feeling pretty rough this morning after all. 🤬

> May I ask what makes Dungeness so fabulous?

**fly boy** pretty much nailed it. I like Snow crab well enough, but Dungeness has a sweetness and richness I’ve not found in any other crab. They are just luscious! I don’t boil them with anything but salt (“enough to make the water taste like the sea”), and I don’t add butter. Just pure crab, one whole one per year – sometimes two (not all at once, I’m not a total glutton!).

> Well there is a nuclear power plant in Dungeness…

Not here. 🙂 Nuclear power plants are banned in Oregon.

**swampy** , I hope the new tee vee installation goes more smoothly than you’re anticipating! And you would receive many apples if we lived closer!

> I know everyone remembers exactly where they were twenty five years ago.

I do. The whole event depresses me so much, I can’t talk about it. 😢

Glad the bagels survived, **cookie**. They’re tough. 🙂

> **Bright Tree** , good news on the vax, I get mine Tuesday (I have Wednesday free of soccer in case I have a reaction). Will try to remember to ask for the Pfizer if I have the option.

I’m sorry I got your hopes up, **metal mouse**. See above. It may not go as well as I first indicated. I hope yours does, though!

**taters** , happy for slow but steady progress for Mr. Taters. An egg is good progress!

I’m really sorry, **Lily**. We lost a lot that day, but you more than many.

\< derp \>

Yeah, that depends. 😕 See above.

Glad you enjoyed the Tigers’ game, **Cat Glove**! Feel better!

More **doggio** words of wisdom! \< jot, jot \>

However bad I’m feeling today, I know you’ve been feeling a lot worse and for a lot longer. I hope you feel better soon.

Back to bed shortly for me. This vax really hasn’t gone that much easier. No more getting my hopes up.

It’s a beautiful day outside, started at a quite cool 49Ferrets and rising to a predicted 73F. I wish I could enjoy it more. At least Ollie is looked after and is snoozing peacefully. He seems to understand. All the unpleasantness is still better than enduring the disease. I’ve never caught it and I hope I never do. Probably helps that I live like a monk in a silent monastery.

Hope the sweat session goes well, **metal mouse**. Your dedication is enviable!

Off to snooze and hopefully feel better in awhile. Have fantastic days, all! At least, best you can.
