Living a rural existence doesn't guarantee a thing. https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/23...nstructor/index.html Get the vaccine.

Rural existence didn't stop the bubonic plague or the 1918 Spanish flu either. I have friends that refuse to get theirs siteing everything from the # of the beast to gov. control, etc. I got mine but I still wear a mask in public. Belt + suspenders.

Belt AND suspenders!

Obviously you are not the sort of person who would get a second look from me!

Despite the facts SUSPENDERS tend to get my attention!

She might live rural but as she says in the video she has a large family who no doubt are out and about. She says she teaches classes so again, exposure factor is higher there too. I thought she looked a lot older than her age as well and wondered if she was a smoker? Just speculating. Sad they got sick but their circumstances appear to be a lot different than mine.

I have a neighbor (about 5 miles away) who's son brought covid to their home from a 4 July celebration in a nearby town. Again, another large household, some got sick, others didn't. She got pneumonia out of it. It happens. She will be fine.

I continue to do well. Processing a case of fresh peaches this weekend as well as putting up my sweet corn. I've planted my fall crop vegetables already. Summer is a busy time here.

Belt + suspenders.

As I have got older I have gone with a belt and suspenders.

If I want to carry a handgun on my belt I need suspenders.

If I tighten the belt up enough to keep the handgun in place. It causes me lower back pain.

Thus the belt and suspenders.

Yes indeed, + some days I wear my lower back brace belt. This aging is not for the timid.
