I'm going to blame my lack of alphabetical knowledge on COVID.... and greatly appreciate you not calling me out on it. :D
TBH, after looking back, I'm not sure if your "WOW" reaction was about the photo of the fact that I thought the alphabet went ...LMNM... 🤣

I'll do O... for Old Fashioned

lol :lmao: L, M, N, M, O.... sounds good.:goodvibes:

My "wow" was for your photo! Did you get stopped there? Do you have a really good camera? I can't get anything close to that on a dark ride and Dinosaur is so jerky.

Funny you should mention Covid.... After all the years of pandemic problems and 5! vaccines! I finally got Covid at a funeral on June 11th. Half the people who went to the service at our little country church, got it. Sounds like everyone is going to be fine but some of the people were pretty old and got it pretty bad.

I got a mild case, like a head cold but I can't seem to shake it completely, as you can see :P Just a little tire and my attention to detail a little fuzzy.

Nope, we weren't stopped... I was actually impressed when I saw the results, I snapped quite a few shots off on the ride and most didn't turn out due to the jerkiness and dark, but I guess because the car is moving pretty straight right here, I managed to pull of a sharp shot (I don't remember which attempt this was, it is my youngest's FAVORITE ride, so we typically ride at least 4+ times).
I won't take all the credit, it is a really good camera, even at almost 7 years old, the Sony A7Rii has awesome low-light/high-iso capabilities, so being able to produce clean ISO-25600 shots helped tremendously.

As for COVID, my family too, has managed to avoid it since the onset of the pandemic, even with me working in a customer facing role until Feb of this year and my wife working in a doctors office in a place where over half the population thinks it's a hoax.... so we've been pretty lucky, until we gave in and had our first normal vacation since COVID last week. We managed to all bring it back home. I seem to have taken the brunt of it, going on 6 days of 100+ fevers, back/leg pain, headaches, congestion, sore throat, brain fog, etc. On top of that, when I started taking Paxlovid because my symptoms seemed to be worsening when everyone else's were gone in a couple days, I developed side-effects to that.... so now I have an awful bitter taste in my mouth for about 8 hours after I take the medicine (twice a day) and my lymph nodes are painfully swollen. Surprisingly, I'm not as tired as everyone else was... I get easily winded, but feel like I have a ton of pent up energy... making it hard to really rest like I should.

🍻 Here's to hoping this is my first and only time catching it... I'm only at 3 vaccines, but at this point... I'll take as many as I can to avoid feeling like this again.

Sorry to hear about the Covid but it seems pretty much inevitable given what I've seen and heard BUT try convincing DH he won't die if he gets it!!! We're all fully vaccinated and boosted but he still wants to isolate!

Absolutely... Especially these later strains and now the anti-viral, chances of hospitalization are way lower. If we weren't all pretty healthy, I would've been more hesitant... but like I told my wife, as long as we survive, the week of smiles/joy/bliss that we spent with the girls will be well worth the side-effects of COVID.

Wow, sounds like you really got hit with the virus! Even with 3 vaccines! Thank goodness you had the 3 vaccines and you are young and healthy or it could have been worse. And you still have it? I never got a fever or lost my sense of taste/smell. I'm am just SO glad I didn't at DW. Even with the pandemic, I went to DW and Disneyland once a year each and went to see my grandkids every 6 months. I'm so glad it didn't interfere with any of those trips.

Kathy, maybe your DH, like me, is just using the pandemic as an excuse to isolate! :goodvibes: For the last 2 years I've been able to say, I don't want to go. I don't want to be in a crowd and I don't drive at night anymore.

Unless it's going to DW or DL of course. :-)
