    They aren't throwing them away because a politician said so, they are throwing them away because they have a short shelf life once thawed. The politicians come in to play as far as who can get the shots now (which they are loosening the criteria to help combat the loss of vaccines). This isn't just a NY thing btw.

    The Cascades south of Jefferson is a nice spot. Short hike and only a half day or so required for the whole thing. Driving included. The lower trail is closed for safety reasons these days, but still worth the 1/2 day. The easy hike crosses the creek several times and is a scenic trip all the way.

    Our favorite is Linville Falls. It was part of our honeymoon travels 21 years ago so it has a special place to us.
    Our kids love trails and hiking. Being beach babies they don't get much of it.

    I have a cute little one bedroom condo in a beachfront boutique building in DBS - free stay to anyone who DID NOT vote for Trump! Just kidding, it's pricey. ;)

    Understood, but my point was the leaders could have loosened restrictions earlier, but the nurses were not to blame as buckeye tried to paint.

    how are they not to blame, they refused, because if i am right, they did not think the vaccine was properly tested. it got approved, they should have done their jobs,imo.

    I think there may be a mix up about which nurses you are talking about.

    It has always recharged me just going over the bridge and seeing the ocean. It actually is great for a quick extended weekend. I put it on AirBnB and it's booked through June.

    Nice! Do you have a link? I usually take a short summer vacay in St. Augustine but wouldn't mind driving a little further south to help out a fellow Gator.

    so people in kansas die due to scared nurses, hate if they were in a operating room, might faint at the site of blood.
