Hit a poor raccoon that was crossing I-35 on our way to the cabin tonight. Couldn’t see it at all until it was too late. Struck driver side front fender at 70 mph. 🙁
Covid Christmas is Complicated. 😬🎄
Santa 🎅 left me Dave Grohl’s book The Storyteller and a National Parks mug that you can check off as you visit. Santa knows me very well. 😊 Merry Christmas! 🎄

Our tradition to have steaks on the Big Green Egg on Christmas Eve.

Happy Winter Solstice! ❄️
“Bottom starting” my Big Green Egg to thaw the gasket and get it open for Beef Tenderloin in a couple of hours. ❄️🔥
Happy to see that micro.blog’s new scheduling feature can also be used to create a new post in the past. I used to have to go to MarsEdit anytime I wanted to publish something with a specific date. Now I can do it by scheduling in the past! 👏

We are in full swing on the residing and window replacement project with Keyprime. All the windows have been replaced, most of the old cedar siding off, and the new LP going on. Big and messy project.
A new study by researchers at Imperial College London found no evidence of a difference in severity between the Omicron variant of covid-19 and the Delta variant. The risk of reinfection, however, is 5.4 times higher. Previous infection or a two-dose vaccine regimen offer no more than 20% protection against symptomatic cases of Omicron—but a booster from an mRNA jab can push this figure up to 55-80%. Omicron is quickly supplanting other strains: it now dominates in England, accounting for 54% of cases.
