California Parents: If you’re having trouble finding the Covid vaccine for your child (as I was, at both their pediatrician’s office and chain pharmacies), check the California vaccine appointment website, My Turn.
I was able to make an appointment last night for a vaccine today!

In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.)
The "War on Christmas" was an inside job.
