Bevo in VA

It's day before - not 24 hours. From CDC:

This right here. But Cletus and Jimbo down on the Va-Ky border don't understand nuance. Throw in a little racism fearmongering (CRT) and a large part of the state is a lost cause. I hope you're right but I'm thinking it's going to be within a point or two either way.

It's going to be close and I'm not going to be surprised if Youngkin pulls it out. There's just a different vibe out there this year. Lots of people up here in the suburbs (where Dems have been dominant of late) are still pretty angry and fired up over how the school districts have handled Covid over the last couple of years. Add in some proposed watering down of curriculums that was being pushed earlier this year, it's just not a good situation. I think there are going to be a good number of voters in NoVa that are upset enough with the almost entirely Dem school boards that they will take it out on McAullife. Youngkin has run a pretty smart campaign - staying away form Trumpy issues and focusing mainly on schools. Little bit of crime thrown in along with eliminating the grocery tax. McAullife really fucked up at one of the debates where he said that parents shouldn't be allowed to tell schools what to teach. This soundbite has been all over the airwaves since and is unfortunately very effective - voters just don't get the nuance of what he was trying to say.

...from Covid.

So I've been following everyone getting tested at Texas cares on this thread and had my mom who lives in Arlington go get tested last week. Backstory - she got her second Pfizer back in Feb at the Convention Center. At the time she was raving about how the local firefighters ran such an efficient operation, quick in and out etc... A few days after her second shot her arm was still really sore, painful to move, loss of motion... She also was telling me that the firefighter gave her the shot pretty high up in her arm. Her arm never fully recovered. Doctor's couldn't really figure anything out - still limited motion after PT. She just attributed it to "frozen shoulder". At this point she's close to getting back to normal. Fast forward to the Texas Cares study. She got her results and had an antibody level of 188. I don't think I've seen a number that low on this thread. She took her results to her doctor today and they now think her second shot didn't make it into her muscle and that could explain the low antibody level. Getting her a booster ASAP. Anyways, up to now she wasn't in any hurry to get a third shot but the Texas Cares Results have made her change her thinking on that thankfully.

Couldn't you always just dispute with the credit card if Ebay doesn't make it right? Seems like a pretty slam dunk case if you were to dispute it.

So for all you guys getting tested for antibodies. Are there testing locations around Arlington/Ft Worth area? My mom would like to get tested but knows nothing about this sort of thing and I live up here in VA so no idea how to go about it.

Alternatively...what if there was a way to buy someone IN to purgatory? How much could we raise to have futureman banned?

It's confusing because in a related NPR written article discussing the interview, they seem to imply that he was specifically referring to full approval - not to emergency use authorization. . I'm still holding out hope for October.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/08/24/covid-delta-variant-live-updates/#link-CFOWGQO7HJCP3CM4SOLOEUTT2Q This sucks. They really need to speed up the process to get the younger school-age kids vaxed. Anyone out there got a hook up with a doc that is willing to give my 11 and 7 year olds doses off-label?

Have you guys reached out to main steam media? This is the first instance I've seen where someone has crowdsourced a funding source. You might want to shoot the statesman or espn something showing the plan and compliance office sign off. I would think they would be interested in running something on this.

From the article: Is this guy really that stupid? No need to answer....

Just a PSA for anyone planning on going to Morgantown this year. The WVU ticket office just put individual game tickets on sale today. there are still plenty of WVU-Texas tickets available. I know in years past, the DC Texas Exes have had a block of tickets as well so that may also be an option. Also - Individual game parking passes are available. The Green lot is the closest lot to the stadium that you can buy a single game pass for. There will lots of tailgating in this lot and it will sell out well in advance of the game.

Just renewed my son's passport. He's 10 so had to renew in person at the post office. Appointment at USPS on June 7th. Paid for expedited processing and priority mail return. Status updated on line that the application was received by the passport office on June 11th. Received an email on July 2nd saying the application was approved. Passport showed up later that afternoon. So in total - took a little less than 4 weeks from mailing off to receiving.

University of Rochester just lost a lot of that prestige.

Have you thought of becoming a Sugar Baby to earn some extra money?

Mens rowing has never been an ncaa sport. Due to title 9 they made the womens an official NCAA sanctioned sport. A lot of the smaller traditional mens rowing schools have dropped it over the past few years.

Very nice. My wife was a NCAA rower for Rutgers. I know very little about rowing but she was reliving her glory days explaining everything that was going on in the races today. That was a great last race.

Yeah - how does that work? Winner of 1-Eights?

I thought at the end of last season they were showing teasers with Josh indicating he was going to be coming back on to the boat. Guess they figured out that might not be such a good idea.

We sent 2.5 million to Mexico and 1.5 million to Canada.

Additional note to self; do not get into three-point shooting contest with Derka's mom either!

I would add to this that if they are also masked up and at a limited capacity gym they're risks are even lower.
