疫苗注射/莊峻華

 

疫苗注射/莊峻華
 
新版本武漢肺炎疫苗,已經開始在藥局供應,我剛好準備出門郵輪旅行,因此特地約定注射,這是武肺疫苗第七支,效果甚高,我從來未曾得過武肺.五點抵達藥局,藥劑師準備文書工作,一面又幫忙配藥,藥局忙碌,美國健保普遍,許多人拿藥,藥價也在總統大選中被討論著,大概是疫苗注射利潤高,藥局和家庭醫生辦公室,都一再招攬生意,因為藥局疫苗注射方便快速,所以我就選擇藥局,這藥劑師能幹,又招攬我打一針流行性感冒疫苗,走前再提醒要打一種肺炎疫苗,我說待我從魁北克市回來再打,很有趣的是,這些疫苗注射,都是免費.
 
在我等候注射時,我就觀看藥局客戶前來拿藥,有一女士攜帶女兒同來,幫她翻譯,這是西班牙語裔,小女孩可以當場即時翻譯,非常令我佩服,我也注意到客戶報出生日,然後比較我的年紀和蒼老外貌,很快時間就到輪到我注射.
 
這家藥局不是我住家附近者也,因規模稍大,比起我拿藥的那家較遠,需要開車,約是零點六哩,仍是非常方便,我的老車已經退休,只好開愛美座車辦事.

Life without the desktop computer/Carlos Pueblo

 

Life without the desktop computer/Carlos Pueblo

 

A month ago, my desktop computer was broken due to age and virus. Suddenly, my quiet life changed. I couldn’t spend my daily life on the internet doing my routine, managing my blog, checking my investment in the security stocks and funds, watching Youtube, etc. My son Arthur told me that was due to the age of the computer, i.e. I was still using Windows 7 which couldn’t be updated any longer and there was no way for him to reformat the hard drive; therefore, we should purchase a new model and I agree.

 

While I was waiting, I used my old Smartphone to do the e-mail, check on the cruise line, and do the stock trading, etc. Finally, he set it up for me in a month. Now, I have Windows 11 with my new edition of hardware. I gradually got into my banking and security accounts even though I did run into problems with new logins. 

 

The next issue is how I can go back to my blog work. He helps me to set up the language choice such as Chinese Kanji selection; however, I lose the keyboard this time and I can’t use a Kanji Ju-in print out to write my Chinese composition; therefore, I must suspend my Chinese prose for the time being. I shall figure it out later.
