I hope you can celebrate his life with fond memories and smile broadly. I emailed condolences to Heidi. https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ > 2.5.5. The package state for APT > In addition to the remotely fetched meta data, the APT tool after lenny stores its locally generated installation state information in the "/var/lib/apt/extended_states" which is used by all APT tools to track all auto installed packages. Thirty-minute walk at lunch. Hot and mostly sunny. Saw two red-tailed hawks, one circling and vocalizing for a long time. Home ---------------------------------------- - pick up prescription?

Pfizer and Moderna vaccines may produce lasting immunity https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03738-2 > Our studies demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-based vaccination of humans induces a persistent GC B cell response, enabling the generation of robust humoral immunity. Good news, though this doesn't rule out immune escape by mutations. https://sarkos.tumblr.com/post/655354925091635200/bogleech-kittydorkling-jenroses > The thing you practise is the thing you get good at. > You may not intentionally be practicing “being grumpy” but if you don’t put effort into practicing “not being grumpy” then I’m afraid that’s what you’re doing. Man, it's exhausting being stressed all the time! Called Mom to see how she was doing. She has flees. Decided to tell her the H&T sale and Mr. Hartman's death. She was supportive. Fifteen-minute walk after I picked up my prescription. Saw a hawk (maybe one of the two from earlier today) and three doves. I remember when Mr. Tyner died, I saw a hawk and thought about Roman augury.
