It's so nice to interact with good people

I had a new furnace put in a couple of days ago, and today the building inspector came to inspect the job. We started talking, as seems to always happen because I talk too much, and eventually the conversation came around to the pandemic. It's always so refreshing to talk with someone who believes in science. His wife is a respiratory therapist, so she gives him first-hand information on what's going on in our hospitals here. He said she said the ONLY deaths among COVID patients here are those who weren't vaccinated, with the exception of a few who had comorbidities.

I wish there was a way to get through to the stupid people.

I said "Coming right up!"

It's so refreshing when I don't have to arm-wrestle my patients best two-out-of-three just to convince them to get their immunizations.
