Queued up the chorus from “I’m Still Here” to play at midnight.
Seemed appropriate.

At least now I know why I was so tired yesterday.

covid testing, variants
Cool: Even without specifically testing for the new covid-variant discovered in the UK, it’s possible to estimate an upper bound for its prevalence using standard tests.
Most covid tests look for several segments of the virus’ genome. Some of them look for one of the segments that’s changed in that variant. They’ll still match on the other segments, but not that one.

Kid’s friend found the dullest “game” on Roblox and he insisted I join them. Now the friend is bored and asking him to change to another game, but he wants to keep going with this one????
food, covid-adjacent, allergy mention
Honestly can’t be too upset at the grocery store substituting peanut butter ice cream (which would kill me faster than covid would) when they were actually able to include the Lysol spray can. I haven’t seen one of those since February.
Non-allergic neighbors got surprise ice cream.

Food, fire, Christmas
Atlas Obscura profiles an old Christmas party game where you douse raisins or nuts in brandy, light it on fire, and see how many you can eat before you get burned.

Covid vaccine (+)
The Pfizer vaccine is being distributed in vials that each contain 5 doses’ worth. Or rather, at *least* 5 doses, to account for spills. Official guidance is now to go ahead and use the 6th (or even 7th!) dose in a vial if there’s enough left.
I’m reminded of the feeling when I got a 25th or 26th photo on a roll of film.

First thought was that was going to take a while.

Got a message that the elementary school is pushing back their re-opening plan for TK through 2nd grade until after winter break. This makes me feel a lot better about the supply pickup day that was going to be the same day that lower grades were coming back onto campus.

OMG. I looked up the KFC / DC comics crossovers. I’d forgotten that there were THREE of them. The third one apparently involved Colonel Sanders getting a Green Lantern ring and trying to send chicken sandwiches across the universe, only to find that Larfleez (the Orange Lantern powered by greed instead of willpower) has been stealing ALL of them for himself.

yeah, they did 3 promotional comics with DC a few years ago.
They were utterly bizarre.
The first one had Col Sanders team up with GL & Flash against his doppelganger from Earth 3 who wanted to open a knockoff chain staffed by supervillains. The second one had him team up with Flashes from 11 different parallel universes, because someone had stolen his memory of the secret recipe and scattered the ingredients across the multiverse.
