Yesterday when getting my Covid-19 vaccine at Walmart I was told to write down “Waste Management” as my qualifying profession for getting the vaccine (I attended an “Overflow Clinic” where they allow anyone to get it at the end of the day so as not to waste any of the doses). I don’t lie about my profession, but in this case I was asked to. When I told the pharmacist that I felt like Tony Soprano she laughed and said, “I remember that show! It was good!” Onwards we go!
One of the fine gents in my running group, Paul Slovic, was interviewed for the NPR Podcast “Shortwave.” Paul is a psychologist who studies the phenomenon known as “psychic numbing.” Paul is a great guy and one (of many) who welcomed me into the UO Noon Runners a few years ago when I found them. This is worth the listen: https://www.npr.org/player/embed/959597459/965522178
