But it's a backlash from those who lost and they're trying anything they can think of to ensure they always win.

QOP legislators are not making it harder for everyone to vote, just minority voters who historically vote Democratic.

How are things going?! Now that the governor has gotten vaccine sites going here in New York, I'm hoping that you've gotten yours. I got my second shot (Moderna) on Sunday at CVS in Saratoga. Shot #1 was no problem, but I did feel under the weather after shot #2 for a day, but I'm still extremely grateful to have finally gotten it!

I'm 3 weeks past my second Pfizer vaccine and all I can say is, WHAT A RELIEF! I lucked into the vaccine really. After scheduling an appointment 300 miles away in Potsdam, my new neighbor came over and made an instant hit with me. He owns a company that got a government contract for vaccinating nursing home/assisted living residents in the surrounding counties, and some of the residents didn't want the vaccine (for some unknown reason) and as long as they had extra vaccine already thawed out, he was having relatives of employees/neighbors etc. vaccinated rather than wasting the vaccine. Once again, I fall into a vat of shit and come out smelling like a rose. Hey, I can't help it if I'm lucky, right? I'm not relaxing my safety habits though. I still have my grandchildren and other people to think about yet. Glad to hear you've gotten the "magic juice" coursing through your veins as well. It sure lifts one's spirits, doesn't it? You still have to take care of the eastern side of the state though, so keep on your toes! I'll handle everything on the western frontier.
