I Was Shot in the Car

We had booked an appointment for our flu shots at the pharmacy, but when our doctor called to say that she now had the serum, we opted to have her do it. Maybe we didn't want to fill in the long forms that the pharmacy required or to sit around being monitored afterward, which they also required.

The doctor's instructions were to wear a mask and short sleeves and to drive to the back door of the medical centre. She would come out, also masked, and inoculate us. That's exactly what happened. The good doctor shot us right through the open window of the vehicle, so to speak. We did not have to exit the vehicle. Strange times, these.

Fortunately, we weren't kept waiting long in our short sleeves on a cool day.This doctor is very punctual. I tell her that she should hold seminars for the vast majority of her brethren and sistren who have no sense of time. I will sometimes find myself leaving a consultation before the actual scheduled time of my appointment.

We do see deer in town on occasion, and you might recall that I hit one back in July 2019. But in our 15 years here, I cannot recall a moose sighting.

But there was one sighted in a automobile dealership very near to us.

The poor thing was later seen elsewhere. It must have been upset and confused.

There is a pub called The Thirsty Moose in town, and someone joked that it must be headed there. In fact, if I followed some of the reports correctly, I think it got pretty close.

With more than 10000 inhabitants, our town isn't all that rural, but there is much surrounding woodland to which I do hope the creature was able to return intact. I haven't heard otherwise.
