Double Vax. Hooray Canadians!

Image
A lot of reaction to my picture and post in facebook. "Baby Boomers - Hippies in the sixties/seventies would hold up two fingers to make a Peace Sign. Now we use both use hands and it means, I Got my Double Vax!" It could also mean V for Victory over the Covid virus. Hooray! It's all good. I am happy that Canadians in great numbers are getting their double vaccine against Covid-19. see Health Canada Stats as of June 25, 2021. Things will hopefully get back to normal soon.

More interest in Chicken Soup edition 'Be You' and glassblowing thanks to Maddie Binning's article.
