For the first 10 minutes I describe my father's favorite recreational activities, including pulling weeds and testing customer treatment at various Ford dealerships in the area.
Then I describe the symptoms many of us have felt after completing the second injection of Moderna, including a fever, lethargy and some temporary "brain fog".
In the "I told you so" department, a dialysis center unilaterally cancels its contract with a huge Medicare Advantage plan. What happens to those patients who need their treatment? I guess they'll be searching for another plan before long.

The first 13 minutes of this episode illustrate the difference between a cultured professional expert server of traditional Irish Guinness and a ham-fisted American beer swiller too cheap to give up the contents of a half-barrel with an overdue deposit.
Bonus question: Who got snookered in the lease deal between Arthur Guinness and the City of Dublin?
