You obviously live in a much safer area than 2021 Western Washington. You couldn't safely do this even in the nicer areas mentioned, let alone within the city of Seattle. Heck, your catalytic converter isn't safe in front of your house here! There's a little detail, which as a fellow West...

A move from D.C. to Seattle won't likely trigger much in the way of differential anxiety since D.C. appears to be governed in a similar manner, has a similar COL, and similar traffic congestion. As others have indicated, Seattle proper has significantly deteriorated and one needs to accept...

KRC: Really? And your evidence for this inflammatory remark is? And the useful purpose of your making this remark is?? To your point: Holding anti-vax views (or not) is most strongly correlated with one's education level. So is wealth. Kindly provide the evidence behind what appears to be...

-From today's online Seattle P.I.

Rob: My wife and I personally got ours 2/2 being front-line HCW's. I work at UWMC which is a vaccine site. The appointments were filling up in real time as my colleagues and I scrambled to sign up. I ultimately chose an undesirable time and was able to book. 2nd shot appointment is MUCH...

Bill, great information on the required process to get vaccinated in WA State at this time. It's pretty clear that a normal, methodical approach won't work. Think of the times you or your kids have needed to register online for a popular class, or show up early for a Black Friday special and...

Partisan politics is starting to creep into this thread, pretty sad. Hope we can exert self-control. I did some research on the various states' vaccine rollout numbers, and discovered the results to be mixed between red and blue states, with no clear ideological correlates of effectiveness...

Ken: sure you didn’t have a neutropenic fever? Very common condition for CA patients 2/2 strong chemo. Best wishes for continued recovery!!

I've not read through this thread, so apologies if I'm repeating information. Vaccination in Seattle via UWMC continues to be available but not intuitive to access. Go through E-Care and proceed to "appointments" and make an appointment. Following the COVID vaccine prompts leads you into a...

That particular cove is indeed a shallow-draft gem! On a low tide one can walk between the shore strand and the little island. The concrete structure was a WW2 vintage kelp->penicillin processing facility. It had a concrete roof when we first came to Decatur which has collapsed. The trail on...

Greetings Pat, As a Physical Therapy professional who is not getting younger, I feel your pain. Father time is not altogether nice! I'm interested in your approach to boating adaptations which can allow continued access in the setting of the inevitable decline of balance, strength, and...

Got dose 1 of the Pfizer vaccine last night. No sore arm or other ill effects yet, hopefully not at all. My nurse and the vaccine documents mentioned 5-6 possible/temporary Sx., which are basically transient low-grade flu Sx. Use Tylenol if you have Sx. In rare cases people who are...

Dr Bob's post illustrates the challenges when folks attempt to self-perform immunology based on speculation or internet theories. There's really no quick substitute for the hard work performed by the scientific community over weeks and months of research and testing. Even then, there are no...

I believe the vaccine refusal movement will rapidly dissipate in the face of rising immunity. I suspect vaccine compliance will quickly rise to levels similar to polio and other such vaccines. Many earlier skeptics are already lining up to "get theirs". In the early days I look at refusers as...

Re: one vs two doses: At our hospital we are required to schedule and commit to both doses before taking either. This is per the vaccine manufacturer's recommendations and CDC guidelines. I am all for as widespread distribution as rapidly as possible but...these vaccines are developed and...

I'm in Pt. care at UW hospital, get mine Saturday. I had to pick the 10PM slot as they were filling up very fast. (No safety concerns or conspiracy theories amongst the staff at UWMC). They hold us in clinic for 15 min. after administration to monitor for adverse vaccine reaction. I'm really...

Great advice. If Foggy had adhered to this advice, this thread would've remained an irreverently funny, possibly in bad taste, bit of comic relief. Could've been ignored by those offended. Instead we got preachy, and we're now headed to the thread's likely deletion and hard feelings to boot...

Stay safe out there!

I would definitely want a test ride in at least moderate beam seas. As Foggy mentioned, the house is pretty tall relative to the hull. That hull is a modified form of the old SISU hull, which was known for seaworthiness but not for stability. It was not originally designed for such a large...

Conrad: If you see a thread with a title like "electoral college", or "please vote", couldn't you choose not to click on it? I personally enjoy some of these on this forum because of the relatively high level of restraint, respect, and reason demonstrated by C-Brats, including those I might...
