Supreme Court rejects Republican attack on Biden victory (apnews.com)
¶No coup for you, Donny.
¶The dissent is actually interesting: the point made by Alito and Thomas is an extremely narrow one - they feel the Court must accept a filing on cases in which it has original jurisdiction (state v. state). In a bit of a slap, they explain that they would not grant any other relief (the injunction sought).

¶I wish I had photos of this, but I don’t. So a post will have to do.
¶Preparing for Teddy’s first visit to the vet, I realized I couldn’t fit Teddy in the small carrier we have - he would not have been able to stand or turnaround if I had somehow managed to get him into it. So, he had to ride unrestrained in the car.
¶On the way to the vet, he was terrified. Shaking, and never left my lap. He faced me and even nuzzled up against my neck for most of the ride. Poor guy.
¶He was a bit more comfortable on the ride home, perhaps because he made friends with the vet and her tech, and perhaps because the shot he received made him a bit drowsy (not sure if it did or not). Anyways, on the way home, he curled up in the front seat and laid quietly and mostly still the entire way home. He was content, and no longer nervous.
¶We’ll have to take him for another car ride soon to see which car personality sticks.

¶Liquid cheese for the win. Who knew? The vet tech put a little liquid cheese on a stick and Teddy licked it right up. It put him at ease and he saw them as friends right away.

¶Teddy was nervous during his first trip to the vet…hid behind me as much as possible. The vet tech and the vet were wonderful, of course, and made every effort to make him comfortable. He warmed up once they gave him treats!

Pfizer Scaled Back Vaccine Output Targets Earlier This Year (bloomberg.com)
¶This is forensic reporting - Pfizer’s “cut” in vaccine rollout estimates happened in early November and was clear to anyone watching the story closely. This morning’s report just assembles this known information into a story. There is no new news here. But, importantly, it does remind everyone that hopes are running high, and any wrinkle in manufacturing or distribution can impact those hopes.
