Covid Shots and Women with Seven Legs

I experienced a couple of "firsts" today.

I was the passenger in a truck when it drove by the Pfizer plant in Portage, Michigan where the infamous Covid-19 vaccine is made.

Then a bit later, I saw a woman with seven legs.

A Dining Room Table

Southern Belle found a dining-room table with two leaves. It is solid oak and it was in Portage, Michigan which is just a bit south of Kalamazoo.

Ron, the gentleman who was selling, cheerfully removed the five legs to make it easier to put on the trailer and for us to cover it with a tarp to protect it from the rain.

Ron is retired now, but back-in-the-day he was a professional hot-air balloon pilot. He gave rides. He trained people. We both knew Jeremy Droscha.

At the other end of the round-trip, Southern Belle (who usually only sports the two legs God gave her) insisted on carrying all five table legs in one go. Two-plus-five equals seven, even in states that sometimes vote blue.

My apologies for the title. I could not resist.
