Out of the Blue

With the arrival of autumn I mentioned to MrsBlue we should look into getting our COVID and flu shots. She doesn't mess around, and just like that we had appointments yesterday at the state-of-the-art medical facilities of our local WalMart. This was our first-ever experience with Inject-Safe Barrier Bandages, which I had never heard of before. The shots didn't hurt much, and these barriers are said to help, though my arm is pretty sore right now. But amid concerns about a more contagious COVID XEC variant this seems like a small price to pay. I didn't have much in the way of other side-effects, though I'm wondering if I ended up in a fever dream. I have this vague recollection of the Giants winning a football game and the first episode of a new DC Comics television series show being the best new thing I've seen on TV since Shogun. Something must have caused those hallucinations. It was probably the shots.

That Live Science link is interesting but it ends on a rather naive note, to be polite.

Retrofitting modern cities and their glass towers for better heat control isn't simple, but there are techniques that can be adapted to new designs for living better in hotter and drier climates and for relying less on constant summer air conditioning.

It's not going to happen any time soon. Because that would cost money that can't immediately be recouped. Therefore it won't be done. The only way change will occur is if far stricter thermal regulation controls and thermal efficiency are mandated by building codes and enforced by regulation.
