Many people have strong opinions about the COVID-19 vaccines, or about how vaccines are being distributed. What are your thoughts?
After a year in which we had a new virus and no way to fight it except with masks, social distancing, and staying isolated, having an effective vaccine is a game-changer for sure Last year my friends and I hiked nearly every Sunday None of us had access to the vaccine, and some of us are over 65 years old We put on masks and quizzed each other about our carefulness in avoiding groups and people outside our households We got lucky; none of us ever tested positive for Covid-19 Now we are all vaccinated and boosted, and we get into each others' cars and drive out to the wilderness areas together with barely a qualm Last Sunday I invited two new people to join our group One of the more careful members of our group asked whether the additional people had been vaccinated They had, and we had a wonderful time on a beautiful winter day

Have any government policies had a direct impact on your life lately? If so, talk about the policy that’s affected you most and the impact it’s had.
Government Checks Sent $600 Our yard is home to this owl. My neighbor is quick She has spotted him twice In our woods. . I winder what is the symbolism Does he represent anything? He enjoys our trees I wish I could spot him one day. . I thought I heard him Earlier today at the mailbox. The government respects Artists?!?! Really ?!?!! Yes. Covid stimulus check for me? Two solo art exhibitions cancelled This past April both ruined Today blame a man twice impeached. DJT this name appears on my check. A small amount of dollars from a man Who golfed a FULL year in office As president. My career worth $600? I think I heard my owl today I do not know what his presence means I study his image in the photograph And take solace in nature’s beauty.
