SPECIAL LECKBAND TRIVIA 

* Lois got her 2 gallon pin from the American Red Cross, because that's how much blood she's donated. Salut!

* I got to try the new Girls' Scout Cookie flavor:  Toast! Yay! Ehh. [Which didn't stop me from eating 2.]

TEMP CHECK

No, this is not a Leckband Temp Challenge. Still, I thought you would find it amusing. Lois' sister Kathy in St. Petersburg, where we recently visited, texted us on WED morning that she had to close the windows because of cold temperatures, high wind, & heavy rain. Lois checked temps at 6:00p (CST). It was 60 in St. Pete's. It was 61 in Norfolk.

COVID

Lois & I got our first Pfizer shot on WED. So far, no side effects except sore arms. Our 2nd shot is on 3/4. Anecdotally, the 2nd Pfizer shot isn't supposed to have as many side effects as Moderna.

Also, I recently that the new Johnson & Johnson vaccine was developed using stem cells from aborted babies. That is troubling.

"After my wife & I took our seats at a restaurant, the waiter arrived to take our order. First, he let us know that the special of the day was twin lobsters. My wife was not impressed. 'That's silly,' she said. 'How can you tell they're twins?'"

"HUSBAND:  'Don't be angry at me, but I accidentally spill grease all over the oven.' WIFE:  'How about I won't be angry at you, but you have to clean it.' HUSBAND:  'I'd rather you be angry with me.'"
