It is 45 degrees and mostly sunny. The "brisk breeze" of 45 to 50 MPH winds keep the wind chill down.
We drove the 95 miles to Weatherford, OK in the 911 to get our vaccine shots. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. The winds were pretty much blowing at a 45 degree angle to the interstate. On the trip out we had a brisk headwind. At times the windshield wipers would bounce around. The speed limit is 75, and with a 40 MPH headwind it was like driving 115 MPH as far as the aerodynamics of the car were concerned. I had a pretty much constant turn in the steering wheel. It was interesting and a little scary passing some trucks. The fully loaded ones looked OK, but some were drifting around, and a truck blew over just yesterday. I would be sure the path was clear to pass the truck, and do it quickly.
The trip back was less scary as the trucks were getting blown to the outside of the road and not into the passing lane. RVs were having a really hard time.
The center where the shots were administered would only let the groups in that were scheduled in 15 minute groups. We had a 12:15 appointment, so they let in 75 or so people in our group and made us wait until 12:15 to get in. After the paperwork and the shot we had to wait 15 minutes then we left, so it was right at 40 minutes total time to get shot at get out of there.
The guy doing me was a student at the local university in the local pharmacy program, and so was the guy the gave my wife her shot. Mine was a 2nd year student. I asked and he said he had practiced on oranges, and rabbits but he had only given shots to dorm mates before. He said after a week of this he has had lots of practice. I thanks him and said good luck with the pharmacy class.
