RSV
From the Chron today:
Alexandra del Moral Mealer, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo’s former Republican opponent, dropped her lawsuit challenging the results of the election she lost last November by over 18,000 votes, according to court documents filed Thursday.
Mealer filed an election contest lawsuit on Jan. 6, one of 22 similar cases brought by GOP candidates in Harris County.
This is a no-brainer. Mealer didn’t want to be called an election denier for the rest of her life. You can’t be an election denier and have a serious future in politics in Harris County.

Commentary got the RSV AREXVY vaccine yesterday at Walgreens. It is recommended for folks my age. I will be getting the updated COVID-19 vaccine and my flu shot in a couple of weeks. I read where it is recommended that you wait a couple of weeks after you get the RSV to get the COVID and flu jabs. I feel a bit groggy this morning.

We are down to this. 9 games left. We have three against the Royals this weekend. The Mariners and Rangers will battle in Arlington this weekend. We know what it is all about.
This weekend will be the last series of baseball at The Yard for the regular season. Hopefully, they are not the last MLB games to be played at The Yard in 2023. I will be going tomorrow evening and Sunday afternoon.
