Sonny Honey Bunny got his first Pfizer jab today, sure hope soon it'll come my way.
But for the last year masking, distancing and sanitizing has worked a treat so I'll just
keep doing that even after I get my own jab.
Here's the situation on the ground today: It's sunny, 78F and windy here in Albuqerque with a slight dust haze. Hey, It's New Mexico!
The location of this vaccine venue is at The Pit, which is the UNM/University of New
Mexico spot for collegiate basketball. We'd already been given complete directions and
we had no trouble getting there.
As we pulled into the parking lot I saw an army of volunteers there to help out. We went
in the designated entrance and there were an army of volunteers and one paid and
uniformed campus security officer. There was no metal detector and no frisking but then
it was a peaceful crowd.
As we moved swiftly along in line another army of volunteers descended on us with
tablets to ask for names and birthdates to keep everything updated in the system. We
never had to show ID and Sonny handled providing the information.
As we moved along we were directed to a waiting vaccination booth. One person took
the verbal registration information while the other person did the actual jabbing. After
that was over we moved along with another army of volunteers in yellow vests and
each holding one red pom-pom directed us to a recovery area to wait our 15 minutes.
Other people had to wait 30 minutes but then nobody knows whose jab they're
getting until it happens.
While we were waiting I realized that I saw people of white getting it right, people of
brown who know how to get down and people of black who always know what's good
for Jack. Yes, it was a real Kumbaya moment.
On the way home Sonny approved of driving through for some burgers. No vaccine
side effects for Sonny, by the way.
And one last thought: After seeing this effective effort by peaceful, supportive people
we can all be sure that insurrectionists and seditionists are totally screwed!
