Glad to hear you are getting better  :chr2:

Hopefully, we are getting closer to beating this crazy thing. It's mandatory to wear a mask in any stores, malls etc. here in Florida.
you won't get far walking in without a mask.

Glad to hear you're on the mend, Parrot. You must be a very young guy to feel so certain your strength will be back in a few days!

I just got vaxxed while doing a story for the MN on the vaccine rollout here in WA. I'm in the Old Guys Group (1-B, over 65, etc.), and they had extra doses. The story is at:

WA is switching to large-scale inoculations as opposed to the initial smaller-sized, in-store pharmacies, as it is more efficient. It took nearly 60 volunteers - including docs, nurses, and techs - to administer to 1,000-plus folks. They had dozens of extra doses and had formed a "secondary group" of high risk folks, latecomers, and guys like me who just hang around.... It was an impressive tour-de-force of organization and goodwill. And free. Thank You, Mr. and Mrs. American Taxpayer.

I'll still be wearing a mask for a couple of reasons:

1. The vax takes a week to activate. Plus I need a booster shot in 28 days.
2. I'm enjoying NOT getting bronchitis and other viral flu thingies.
3. I sure don't want to give any Covid cooties to anyone else.
4. I derive some pleasure from making a political statement, although I am meditating EVERY day to master my anger at those *!#!**! Trumpers.... I think I'm making progress, but I have a little bit more to go in that department.

More good news: the strap on my mask broke while I was interviewing the head doc, so he reached over to the registration desk and gave me a brand-new clinical N95 mask. Whew. It's like gold in these here parts, as only clinical folks get 'em and they cannot be bought, as I understand it. The "KN95s" that are for sale are the "Asian Standard" mask, while my N95 is the higher USA standard for filtration. Gosh darn tight, too.

Seems you beat Blevins February date..similar to him being about two weeks behind the producer from New York...

You would think falling from 10,000 and surviving a plane crash was bad enough....how about surviving 33,000 feet?

Two FBI agents were killed and three were wounded in a shooting early Tuesday while agents were serving a warrant in a child exploitation case in Florida, according to the FBI. The suspect died during the standoff, according to the bureau.

At 6:04 a.m., FBI and officers from multiple agencies were serving a warrant at the Water Terrace apartment complex in Sunrise, Florida, when the suspect inside started shooting, according to Otishia Browning-Smith, a spokeswoman for the Sunrise Police Department. The suspect, who was not identified, barricaded himself inside the residence.

"A team of law enforcement officers were there to execute a federal court-ordered search warrant in furtherance of a violent crimes against children case," the FBI said.

FBI Director Christopher Wray identified the two deceased agents Tuesday as Daniel Alfin and Laura Schwartzenberger.

Shutter: I have seen a recent comment by you saying its 'been three weeks and still waiting" regarding me posting up the identity or any details regarding the New York City producer currently working on creating some type of TV program on the Cooper case.

Don't recall the post Bobby. why don't you quote it? several have known about the producer prior to you. why would I wait or ask anything about it from you? I know what he is looking for and I'm not interested in dealing with producers. especially, if I don't have a suspect. I'm not looking for any fame. you see, we speak to each other offline. you realize this, right? PM's, emails and phone calls. all the stuff you think we need to do to find answers by going to you lol.

What you need to do is get views on the promo video. first video took over a week to get 100 views. doesn't your list watch them. should of been 100 views in 24 hours, 48 at the most? currently at 106..perhaps you shouldn't worry so much about us and worry more about yourself? you keep trying Bruce as well. he has a long list of requirements you must do for him to even consider speaking with you. most have put you on ignore and you still comment to them. we will get through this just fine without you. when will you understand that? you couldn't even read the comment correctly 1969912 gave you. by the way, he's been on the Cooper thread many many times. you just have those blinders on all the time seeking the negative...

I see you responded but failed to post the quote.....I'm not working with anyone..others are aware but I have no idea what they are doing. as I've said many times. these shows come and go...nothing new.

I haven't been able to find this quote since you failed to post it. I don't recall saying anything about producers here. even a search fails to find it. why, because I never said it..
