Going mobile

New week. New life! 
The Who says it for me – Going mobile 

News blues

I’m off! Johannesburg, Paris, San Francisco  houseboat in Californy!
…where, ironically, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the state will offer $116 million in prize money for coronavirus vaccinations.  Maybe I’ll get lucky!
The state’s reopening is pegged for June 15, and on that day a drawing will be held to award 10 vaccinated people the top prize.
Another 30 people will win $50,000 each, with those drawings starting June 4. Anyone 12 and older who has received at least one shot will be eligible. And the next 2 million people who get vaccinated will get $50 gift cards.
Ohio this week announced the first $1 million winner of its “Vax-a-Million” contest, as well as the first child to win a full college scholarship. Colorado and Oregon also offered $1 million prizes.
New York is raffling 50 full scholarships to children 12 to 17 to public universities and colleges in the state, selecting 10 winners each of the next five Wednesdays.
So, we live in a world, now, where, if you can’t trust people to “do the right thing” – vaccinate against a pandemic – you pay ‘em. 
Capitalism wins!
