Cat Silo, Free Wood Chips, and More!
It appears that Pfizer and Moderna both are about 80% effective two weeks after the first dose, which is reassuring. It emphasizes what a half-assed rush we've made of this whole thing, that something like that is only being learned now.

Some people got the wrong second vaccine. That's interesting in a number of ways. First, the fact that it was caught afterward suggests that the patients knew what they were supposed to get. I (and everyone here, that I can tell), got a CDC-issued card* with a place for a sticker from our vaccine lot, and instructions to bring that back when we returned. I assume those are universal. Plus three separate people asked me beforehand "You're here for your first shot?". They had to fall through a fair number of holes to get the wrong follow-up, and both at the same facility.
* Twenty years from now, little kids will be finding those in drawers and boxes, and asking about them...

A local program for reading to shelter animals. I know for a fact that Dogs, even ones that barely know you, will listen raptly if you read to them in your 'story-telling voice' and make occasional eye contact. They haven't a clue what's going on, but they're sure it's important. Cats may listen for a minute or two. And I absolutely love that the shelter has a 'Cat Silo'. That delights me, for some reason.
