Maryland v Johns Hopkins
FYI in B1G play they slaughter eaach other.
John Tillman UofM coach has had a outstanding record especially these last eight years. His career record v. Hop 7 - 7.
Yesterday for 2 Q it was another tie -then 7 unanswered goals and game over. Maryland came to play for 60 min. Hop folded at 30.

The temperature now is 16 F feeling like 9 - ooh, ooh... can you feel your toes ?
But this is March of a so far mild winter, and we climb the degrees ladder for 6 days starting tomorrow. We will hit days + 50 as well. Windy today.

Covid news. Toronto or 3.6 million people crawls out of lockdown. 100 days of ' stay at home ', only essential stores open. That includes liquor and beer

In 18 h we move to ' gray ' zone rules. Be careful but you can shop in stores w/ limits, gather in small group outside and very limited indoor socializing. No personal care or dining indoors is allowed .

Canada is pushing the one dose vax for all the 4 vaccines approved. If you get one dose in the next 3 months there will be a lag of up to 4 months before #2.
A Canadian epidemiolgist is leading the information battle re: second doses. Her research indicated that the big 3 Pfizer, Moderna and AZ but esp Pfizer included results of protectiveness for the 2 weeks following dose #1. This initial period is characterized by building immunity and relatively low efectiveness. Her estimate put Pfizer at +80 % effectiveness.
Thus, Canadian the ' guinea pigs ' will test out the single dose route. ' Say a little prayer for me, Rosalee '. 
We won't be travelling any time soon b/c not many countries will let us in on one dose.
Oh, well, the Cdn dollar sucks everywhere and Amazon still delivers in 2 days.
Segue, yesterday - 3 packages arrived. New shoes. A kettle. A pot < no not drugs, a cooking pot > and not cooked pot A COOKING POT for water.
The skinny. The everyday shoes that I use are Skechers casual loafers. Or three years, I've worn these in 3 countries. Comfortable and practical. They look it. On Amazon, I found a match - Skechers relax fit. These shoes are loafers rated ' x - wide '. My feet are short and wide. In fact, I can wear 4E or 4EEEE, the widest sold commonly. We shall see said the Zen Master.

I wasn't going to buy these but a reiview comment changed my mind instantly ' love these shoes, why can't you buy them in a store ' True ! - I always end up settling for larger size to fit my feet. Done ! hit the little icon and Bob s your uncle

The kettle is to replace the Black and Decker model that died on Wednesday. Brushed steel and cute w/ auto shut off.

The COOKING pot is induction compatible. Two Christmases ago, I asked for a dual induction hotplate. Why, you murmur. At the QuarterMile the electric stove is a ceramic top that is stained and uncleanable - trust me, I've worked on that puppy lots. And its a small ish kitchen and gets warm in summer w/ the stove on.
Yes, the induction top is faster and cooler. Its here right now in the basement.
I like to heat water for shaving etc b/c it takes a long time to get hot water in the downstairs bathroom. We're talking about 45 seconds, Thus, I used a spare microwave up until about 6 months ago.
The over the range microwave door broke. The cost to repair if you could < ? > was $ 140. We cheated and brought the spare upstairs. The over the range one is now a timer and clock and rising chamber for Sally Lunn bun making.
I've been carrying hot water downstairs in a thermos. Thus, I decided to use the induction top to heat water hence the cooking pot. Not all pots are induction compatible.
