This is exciting. It's like going to the horse races, but instead of
betting 2 dollars, I'm betting my life!

Five minutes are up!! "There are currently no COVID-19 vaccine
appointments available. Please check back later. We appreciate your
patience as we open as many appointments as possible. Thank you."

I'm tearing up my betting tickets right now, lying down, and preparing
to be attacked by corona. If I awake tomorrow, maybe I'll try again.

Yeah but. You're not going to be exposed while you're trying to sign up
for the vaccine. That works as good as a shot and no pain.

You're right. and no pain.

Since I couldn't get signed up here, I'm only signed up at 2 places**.
I have some naive idea that that it will only save me a week or two to
sign up at more places, and I'm ready to wait until September or October
beforee I get impatient.

I still have to clean my house and that could easily take 2 years.


**With one site, I just gave my street name instead of my zipcode. Most
webpages figure out my zipcode from the street name, but this page
posted a map centered around Frederick Md. an hour west of me. It had a
Walgreens, a CVS, and a RiteAid. I'll try RiteAid tomorrow. I don't
know if I have to go to a place in my county or not. Frederick County
is more rural, which means more pro-Trump, which might mean they aren't
getting vaccinated as much and maybe they have room for me.
