You don't need to be old for that. I think the younglings are far worse than we are.

Ahh, the wisdom of age. Take note you youngsters!

...when you're among the first 15% of people in your state to have gotten at least the first dose of COVID vaccine. (Even if you are among the last of those, and even if your state is doing a !@#$@#$%#^%&^* job of distribution.)

Two things based on above remarks

1. wondering what state you live in
2. I don't feel quite as old since I don't qualify for a vaccination yet
