I finally succumbed to the bug over the Christmas holidays. I hadn't been sick for three years. My antigen test showed positive, and I'll take an antibody test in another week or so. (Don't get on me about taking a test - I got one for free from a friend who was curious). Wifey had previously contracted covid on a trip away, and she also got slightly sick for a day. She had the sniffles and a cough. I, however, was extremely fatigued and had a killer sore throat. It was a bad bug, but nothing I hadn't experienced before from some other illness.

I have friends who took the jabs, and they reserved the weekends to manage the side-effects. With five jabs, that's five weekends. I have no doubt that for those who will admit it, they wish they were as we - purebloods. They can see the carnage (thus the significantly lowered demand for boosters and slow uptake of jabs for their kids).

On another note, regarding the NOTAMs, when I flew decades ago, the NOTAM system was simple. NOTAMs came over the wire and were printed and hung from the wall. When filing a flight plan, you looked at the NOTAMs and that was it. Pretty simple. My guess is that the new system is overly complicated and also fragile. It has not been unusual in my software career to inherit a piece of code and simply throw it out and not replace it with anything because it was never necessary to begin with. It was cutesy stuff with no purpose other than demonstrating the "cleverness" of the author.
