Hilton Head Island: double shot; two women singing; into a hurricane

I received my second Pfizer COVID shot six months ago yesterday, so today i biked to Walmart where I was shot twice.  COVID booster in my left arm.  Flu in my right.  I had no reaction to my first two Pfizer shots and I have never had a reaction to flu shots other than the slight soreness that comes with any shot.  We will see what my body thinks of this.



I have recently come across videos of two women singing that I enjoy greatly,  Both have recorded extensively and are well known, but not until this week by me.

I thank Andy for the link to Joan Armatrading.  His favorite of her songs is ‘I’m Lucky’ which I like, too, but my favorite is ‘Already There’.  You of course already know that under the heading ‘I love’ on the lists page of the main site is, among others, “the athletic grace of the young’.

 The dancers in the background of this video have amazing grace and beauty.

The other is a Bach aria sung by Magdalena Kozena which I came across by happy chance.

I am going to watch them both again as soon as I post this entry.




I thank Larry for a link to a video taken by a nautical drone that was steered into Hurricane Sam. This is a very good use for such a drone.  I have been in 91 mph/79 knot winds several times.  I don’t know if I have been in 40’ waves.  I don’t recall if I ever claimed I’ve been in more than 30’ waves, but I have learned that I tend to underestimate.  I expected the conditions to look worse than they do, but then cameras flatten waves.
