@BreakForTheLight. Thanks. I hope your plants arrive this time. I had a problem too with an order of colored gravel I wanted to put down in the rock garden I am creating for the front yard. It was supposed to arrive last week when I was off, so I could use it. I finally got a response today that it is out of stock and I had to request a refund. They now have a larger bag for sale, so I ordered two of those along with some other stones to hopefully finish that project.

I also ordered dirt for planting. I hear you about the plants! I am always happy buying more plants. I have this large tub I don't use for anything, so I am going to drill some holes in it and plant those bulbs I ordered when they arrive in it, so we will have beautiful spring flowers.

Our clown Health Minister had to come out and defend Sinovac yet again. There's been lot of talk about a "green card" that would allow people who are vaccinated more freedom, such as has been created in Israel. Anyways, the medical college, which is the doctors' union here came out to say that it won't work here because we are using 90% Sinovac and the virus is going to keep circulating since it doesn't effectively reduce transmission as much as other vaccines do. Honestly, they should have come out about this more forcefully earlier on, I think. The Minister came out with the party line that all vaccines are safe and effective. He refuses to have engage in any discussion about Sinovac's lower efficacy.
