So when was the last time a total stranger did you a favor that might save your life?
That might enable you to go back to your old life, to see family, to travel, to go to dinner or church or the store without fear of getting COVID?
To shake hands or to hug.
My wife and I were among the seniors wanting a COVID vaccination badly enough to sleep the night before in their car along the road near Carrie Blake Park.
After a year of sequestration, it was a very emotional experience.
Now we’re waiting four weeks, then a second shot, then we’ll likely be immune.
We have a lot of living left to do.
We beat nearly everybody we know, except family working in the health professions.
They will hopefully all catch up in the next few months and the epidemic will end.
Thanks especially to the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe.
They didn’t have to make their excess vaccine available to the general public, or employ their clinic staff to administer it.
They are wonderful neighbors.
Thanks also to police and fire personnel, CERT or other volunteers.
Thanks to Trinity United Methodist Church for use of their parking lot.
What a caring community.
