Peaceful morning in downtown Chicago. The Cubs, Illini, and Packers are all looking good.
Got my covid+flu shots last week. I normally don’t have any sort of bad feeling from vaccines, but this time I felt like I had a bad cold for about half a day. Anyone else experience this?

I clicked on “Yesterday’s stories” and it links to Friday 9/12, instead of yesterday 9/15. Thanks!

Saw my first field with corn harvested today. Feels weird when it’s 90

First corn was picked out here in Sangaomon 10 days ago ! Horribly dry also. I still get vaccines singly. During Covid, the thought was to let the immune system focus on one at a time. Thats been discounted now but still seems prudent. I have mild reactions to Covid/Flu vaccines. Had strong reactions to the two Shingrix shots !

It’s only Tuesday and already I’m craving that Oscar zen thingie.

These last few mornings have been great here in beautiful DuPage County. Pretty toasty in the afternoons but good sleeping weather at night. Folks are starting with the Halloween decorations outdoors already. Like they say, life is good.

Heading to Oklahoma City this weekend for a wedding. Its my first time there. Any recommendations for great BBQ there? I am a pulled pork kinda guy.

With flu shots, feel that way about every 4th / 5th one.

@H-W: Not a BBQ guy, but do take the time to see the Murrah memorial, both in daylight and after dark. Very moving. Have not been there since the museum opened. One of my most favorite steakhouses is Cattlemen’s on Agnew, just south of I-40, in the Stockyards City area. You will want to go back just for that. The river cruise is nice as well.

RNG - My SO always has a strong reaction to the Covid vaccine, although it’s getting milder and for a shorter period each time.
I got my Covid, flu, and pneumonia shots at the same time without incident, except I woke up with such sore arms my first thought was I’d overdone my workout the day before.
One of my cousins got his Covid, flu, and RSV at the same time. He had a bad time of it afterward and is blaming the RSV shot.
