Today in Colorado…
We’re having a LOT of spring snow. Much needed water, but ouch the shoveling! Still piling up. This is the patio where I like to sit, in other seasons. #cowx pic.twitter.com/11vfrJm1u0 — jnfr (@jnfr) March 14, 2021

That’s how long our house has kept itself in quarantine so far. And today I got my first shot of the Moderna vaccine here in Colorado. Mr. J isn’t eligible yet, so we’ll keep ourselves in quarantine until we both have as full immunity as we can get. Guess who else got her shot today? Dolly Parton. Dolly gets a dose of her own medicine. @VUMChealth pic.twitter.com/38kJrDzLqC — Dolly Parton (@DollyParton) March 2, 2021 She is such a lovely person and I can’t thank her enough for helping to fund the vaccine I received today. Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine…

Virtual flowers and all best wishes to Molly Ivins as she goes. From the WILPF mailing list: I’m sorry the news I bring is so dire, but many are wondering: Molly Ivins is indeed losing her fight with cancer. She’s out of the hospital and back at home, on life support with organ failure. She is lucid some of the time, and spending her last hours with close friends and relatives. She asks that no more flowers or cards be sent as she is overwhelmed, and certainly visitors are a burden at this point (she knows you are with her … Continue reading →
Best wishes for Molly
Please join me in sending best wishes to Molly Ivins, who is gravely ill in her third bout with breast cancer. I posted this quote of hers on Election Day this year, and it’s so expressive of her spirit that I’m going to post it again and again. That was a good day for all of us, and I hope Molly enjoyed it too. “So keep fightin’ for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don’t you forget to have fun doin’ it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth.

Well down
SAT A.M. Update: Even though the status page doesn’t say so, picospan is back up. Engaged is not working yet. Afternoon last update: And Engaged is up now as well. Thus ends the Great Well Outage of 2006. _____________________________ In case anyone wanders by looking for info, yes The Well is down.
