Tracey and I went to breakfast yesterday at Bob’s in Pekin. We were getting into the car to come home when an older guy asked me if we lived in Tazewell county.
I thought he was going to ask for directions or something but then he said the health department was giving free swine flue shots and there wasn’t much of a line if we wanted to get one.
So we went. Of course, there was a form to fill out, on both sides, with lots of stupid questions that nobody will ever need to know. A fine example of the “form principle” that says you have to provide enough silly blanks to fill up both sides of the page.
There were three people sitting at laptop computers entering this trivia into a database that will no doubt be used to create marvelous charts and graphs of absolutely no value.
I just wish they would put this much energy into actually providing enough vaccine for everybody.

Alan & Gloria joined Tracey, DD, Mom and I at the #CrackerBarrel in Morton for dinner. We got the “plate slammer” waitress.
We have had her before —— She stands in one place at the table asking who gets what but never takes it to that person, slams the plate down in the general direction and shoves it toward the nearest person to pass along.
I don’t know why she bothers to ask since she doesn’t give it to the right person.

I give up! I can’t find the Ford license plate sticker! Alan stopped by yesterday and noticed that Dave’s Ford sticker had expired Aug. 9th. Of course, someone needs to drive it tomorrow! I paid for it, but I don’t know where it is now. See, in Aug., Dave has motorcycle brain and doesn’t drive the Ford. Obviously, the sticker didn’t just get put on the car. I found on the internet that it will cost me another $20.00 to get a replacement, but WHERE do I get that from? (sorry Alan...I guess I wasn’t listening yesterday) I always order mine through the mail. AND....it gets even better......I think I recycled Ashley’s school pictures! I gave some to my mom, my sister, and my sister-in-law, but then they disappeared! Thank goodness this year’s pictures were taken locally and I can order more...for a price of course! Guess I have a black hole in this house!

Many banks and the DMV will sell stickers but since you already bought one I don’t know how that might work.
I know the feeling about losing and misplacing stuff. We just went through the whole I-lost-my-wallet thing with Aaron which by the way he just found after we got his driver license, etc. replaced. Oh Well. These things keep life interesting!

Thanks for the info! Hey, at least a third of my bedroom got cleaned looking for the sticker!
