If You've Made it this Far. . .

Today Ranger received an announcement concerning Department of Veterans Affairs Flu vaccination availability for this flu season, "from November 1, 2007 through January 31, 2008."

And why did they send this after the flu season is in full swing? Why not prior to the 1 Nov. 07 advent of the season? News flash: old farts need their shots before the flu season starts.

Further note: the VA health system is touted as a spectacular example of expeditious health care in our country.
