The vaccine was the key. If you have a chance to read it, Smallpox: The Death of a Disease by DA Henderson was fabulous.

This is why they were able to eradicate smallpox. Clear symptoms, short incubation period, and no animal hosts.

For me, cherry pie.

Got my flu vaccine a couple of weeks ago. Waiting for my 6 months to be up in December for my next COVID shot.

Good news but the summary says "so far" re resistance. Don't underestimate bacteria.

I'm in denial.

No to either. I read some of Fforde's books including "The Eyre Affair" (which I read before reading "Jane Eyre". Wasn't my best move.). Thanks for the heads up on "The Last Dragonslayer". "The Princess Bride" is on my TBR list.

At my local bookstore, the person was checkiing out my books and saw I bought one by Esther Freisner. Asked me if I ever read Terry Pratchett. I said no. Bought two of his books and then all the others in the Discworld series.
