2.3.2021: You know you're going to have an iffy day when the first thing in the morning your frozen birdbath ... gives you the bird. 34/365 

How this happens: These towers are caused when the surface of the of water freezes first, sealing in the water below. As freezing temperatures continue, and that not-yet frozen water trapped below begins to freeze, it expands, creating higher pressure under the ice lid. Eventually, the pressure will either cause a small crack or opening in the ice where water will start to dribble out -- sort of like squeezing a tube of toothpaste. However, as that water squeezes out to the surface, it freezes too, creating a small bump of ice on the surface. The pattern repeats and the "bump" grows taller and taller until all the water under the main sheet of ice has frozen. And what you have left is called an ice spike.

2.2.2021: It’s been over 30 hours since I had the 2ndCovid-19 vaccination. Minor soreness is gone and really no other side-effects of note. I did fall asleep in my massage chair for a couple hours today, but don’t read too much into that as I’ve done that before on numerous occasions before having any Covid shots. For a moment this afternoon I thought that the vaccination had given me time travel abilities when I spotted these two classic cars. Then I realized, they must be shooting another movie in our area. Oh, well. 33/365

2.1.2021: I was more excited about getting this sticker (for my second covid-19 vaccination) than I was when I got my "I Voted" sticker. 32/365 

 NOTE: (11:20 pm 2/1/21) 9 hours after receiving the vaccination, no side effects or symptoms to report. I can very slightly feel soreness at the injection site. I also should mention, I suddenly have the urge to binge watch Pauly Shore movies.
