There is a large gap between healthy skepticism and what is going on these days.

Yes, both of the have been. There are currently several regular track clinical trials of the adenovirus vector technology as well. For everything from HIV to Ebola to SARS to the regular flu.

Well, they could make the choice to continue to have far less people in the stands, wearing masks I suppose. But if given the choice between a full stadium every week and the paltry number they had for a few playoff games last year, I'll bet they would be on board with choice number one. Especially when there will be plenty of people more than happy to comply.

Isn't it their private decision to follow that county or state regulation?

Yeah, except they aren't ALL mRNA vaccines. Two of them are adenovirus-delivered vaccines and this technology has already been regular (not emergency) approved technology.

I'd love to see where you get .1% mortality rate. 😄 Based on known current tracked figures of fatalities and confirmed cases, the fatality rate is about 1.8% in this country. For the rate you claim for this country, 640,000,000 people would have had to have been infected in this country. Last time I checked, that's not far from twice the actual population of the country. So, impossible. You ought to more cynical of your math skills, than a virus vaccine technology that has already been approved under normal or non-emergency use against tuberculosis Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG).

It's not about obedience. It's the right thing to do for your fellow citizens. All of the people refusing the vaccine are going to permit the virus to continue to circulate at a high level, which increases the mutation rate. This increases the chances significantly that all of the Billions spent on vaccine research and development so far will be diminished, as will as the efforts by all of us who were "obedient" when a mutation emerges that is not recognized by our vaccinated immune systems and we have to start all over again. It's not crazy. It's called science and doing what's right for your fellow man. And its the best chance we have to knocking this thing down so we can get back to some semblance of normalcy in the near future. You do realize that this thing is NOT going away on its own, right? All it's done is mutate into a number of variants that are even more contagious and deadly then the original. It isn't the seasonal flu where it dies off at the end of April and doesn't come back until November. This virus killed people all summer long last year. I am not interested in watching mutations of this virus going on killing another half million people a year in this country while we all have to wear masks and be restricted from public activities for another year or two. Or even if they do, understand them.

Was this pun intentional, or a happy accident? 😄

Time Tunnel was cut way too short at 30 episodes. Starred James Darren as Doctor Tony Newman, who also played Moondoggie in the Gidget movies and Vic Fontaine during the last season of Deep Space 9. He has an awesome voice.

Funny, but I was thinking about Major Nelson from I dream of Jeannie. And then of course I started thinking about Jeannie.🥰

This is not so true any more, particularly with respect to sexual harassment behavior where a pattern of behavior is useful to illustrate a defendant's propensity to take advantage of a situation in which he feels empowered to stalk or otherwise abuse a woman because she isn't likely to feel sufficiently empowered to seek accountability. There are a number of evolving exceptions to this black letter evidentiary rule that one cannot introduce prior bad acts to prove a propensity to commit the acts of which he is accused. If the allegations are true, Watson is taking advantage of the fact that there will be no one there to corroborate his behavior, so it will be his word against hers. Massages are acceptable situations to be naked. There are excuses that can be made about arousal and that it was unintentional. He is a celebrity with lots of money, and women will feel it more easy to suffer it rather than be subjected to the old victim blaming memes like, "Why were you there with him in an isolated situation and performing a sensual act and he was just misreading signals, blah blah....." While these exceptions have largely evolved out of stalking and domestic violence cases, they are being extended to other situations in which there is little actual physical evidence that can be used to prove the act or too many explanations for the existence of that evidence, other than that there are boatloads of women who have been harassed in the virtually the same way and other the same or very similar circumstances.

Oh that’s right. He was put in the hospital for a few days. But he did live.

Let's hope it's not a perfect metaphor, as if I recall correctly, his next round opponent killed him. 😆

Wrong. But thanks for playing.

I don't and I'm not.

Sorry. I've been a Bills fan since I was 8 and it was 1966. But I am not BillsMafia.

Well, you were in the ball park.🙂

And perhaps good workouts and nutrition counseling while they are there.

I see Dawson Knox the same way I saw a raw Josh Allen coming out of college, only perhaps more so. A kid with top notch athleticism, some flashes of tremendous upside, but a lot to learn to convert that upside into consistent high-level performance, especially in the pros. Knox played in only 18 games in four years at Ole Miss. He caught 39 passes over his entire college career (all in the last two seasons), for zero TDs. He was largely used as a blocker. How much good coaching did this kid really receive with regard to blocking technique, let alone running routes, getting off the line, finding the soft spots of a zone, etc.? How many reps did he get in practice catching balls in traffic, or at all? He has clearly improved, and hopefully like Josh, he will put in the hard work to make up for that lack of development in college. And hopefully, like Josh, he will eventually outgrow the boneheaded mistakes that come along with that limited development. I don't mind them drafting a TE if there is good value this year, but as long as the kid keeps improving, I'm happy to give him another season to see if that progress continues. He may just be a success story. Maybe not like Josh has become, but a success nevertheless.

Oh, you would have to fact check me! 😉 I'll go be quiet now. 🤐

I realize that for you, this may be a phrase you use in the normal course of discourse, but to me: A phrase from a Beatles song? Nice! Strawberry Fields Forever.

How prescient of you! 👽

I was 11 when he played for the Bills. My brother (who was 10) and I remember him for one reason. We were at my Uncle Jack's for a Sunday family get together and we went in to watch the season opener in '69. My Uncle, a man of fewer words than even my father, walked into the living room, looked at us for what seemed like at least 15 seconds with a grin on his face and summarily announced "Remember this name............Preston Ridlehuber..." He then departed. So much for his (what we assumed to be) prediction of greatness, other than the halfback option play he threw to beat the Patriots that year. But because of that seemingly momentous pronouncement, his name has never escaped us. 😆

Sarcasm alert! 😄
