It's all about the shot ... about the shot ... about the shot

We left about 4:30 am for the Los Fresnos Rodeo grounds to hopefully get our first covid shot on a first come first serve basis.  Denny printed and filled out the 2 forms on the web and they are signed, we have our IDs,  and masks.  Now we are in line in cars in the rodeo field with vehicles all around.  We are not drinking any more fluids until a porta pot is sited.  When I could wait no longer,  YES!! there were portapots in every area.  It was wait, wait, wait,  We wrote 6 cards, watched 2-3 episodes of Reign, listened to 2 classes of photography, I worked on my blog, Denny napped, We figured by a quick count that there were 50 lines of cars with about 50 in each line.  If there were 2 in each car that is 5000 people.  We heard there 3,000 doses ... ???? Around 5:15 am counters came by and asked how many in the car were getting shots,  then I asked her "How are we doing for numbers?" meaning "Will we make the cut?"  She gave a tentative-maybe answer...  "We're close to the top level of numbers of doses."  NOT reassuring.   The next 8 hours we were just in the car, except for leg stretching walks to the portapot.  I found out the 2500 cars facing north had vouchers and the 200 cars of us that were facing south would be the last to (possibly) recieve available shots.  Uffda!! As time passed rows of cars began to filter up to the 6 fire station docks; one. row. at. a. time.  SLOWLY from my perspective.  Once your car was parked you did not move until your row was headed to get the shot.  About Mainly we're just SO happy we got the shot. Today is Kathy R. birthday.  On the way home we stopped at Walmart to get a few groceries a birthday cookie, and flowers to put together.  At home we unloaded groceries.  I put together 2 bunches of flowers then took a nap.  At 6 we picked up Reals and went to The Broken Sprocket.  It was a beautiful evening.  There was a small band playing when we got there.  And a larger one at 8:30.  We ordered cerviche, cheese fries, and pizza.  So good.  At home by 9ish and to bed after a long day in the car.
