I don’t really know. I drive past them now and then but have not been on property since I was a kid.

My wifi has been spotty with the Pfizer...

Not yet. We are trying to hit all of the ones within an hour then will expand out. Although Google says that is 53 minutes

I also bought some Trappist Ale brewed at the monastery in Spencer MA. Neat story behind that place

The US has a stockpile of the AZ vaccine just sitting there. Plus we have temporarily banned selling raw materials that could help India manufacturers who are making their own vaccines.

Hit Redemption Rock in Worcester this afternoon. Basically next door to Funky Murphy’s. Not bad. Nothing really stood out as far as their beers. Casual vibe

We were in Bristol on Monday. The difference between greenup down there vs here is pretty significant. Of course there are still a few snow piles around here from last Friday. Lol

Beer

My school has contracted with numerous mental health agencies to help with this as best as we can. They have some counselors set up in the room next to mine.

Yeah. I used to do work there back in the day. Good cafeteria. A friend of mine is a scientist there. The facility in Groton CT is gigantic. Excellent cafeteria.

Yup. And their facility in...Andover? Wilmington? I forget...right on 93 had a lot to do with it. And Moderna of course is from Cambridge and the J&J vax was largely done in Mass as well.

As you (and others) have mentioned it will take a while to gather the data. Can’t call it either way yet

And this study from Japan suggests a rise after a decline https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-020-01042-z

Here is one but it is from just one state (Mass) and early on in the pandemic. I would not take much from it. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2775359

Winds still winding.

I know the Saturn Vs were super expensive to fly. Plus you would need a crew to assemble it. They would need a vehicle aboard that would allow that. Skylab didn’t need much assembly But I agree with your overall assessment

Different purposes. They should have kept something like Apollo going for sure as well as develop a reliable LEO manner system. Budgets, American desires didn’t allow both. The Space Truck idea was cheaper (they thought). It had so many flaws though

Watching the Challenger series on Netflix. I had forgotten about a lot of this. I also didn’t know it was Reagan who directed NASA to pick a teacher. That’s cool

If it is a business’s requirement I will wear one. I’ve never said anything to someone not wearing one. I really wish people would follow the rules set out by the business (and the state in this case) to make it less stressful for the employees.

Beer!

I’m sorta surprised they are requiring it for students since it is a state university and the vaccine has not been fully FDA approved. I personally think it is a good idea but not sure if it would pass legal muster. My sons private university is requiring it for the fall. He will have his second dose Wednesday

And that list is places we have not visited yet... and they are only in Mass... NH has some possibilities as well (Keene, NH, I'm looking at you!)

Looking to check out some new breweries within an hour of my house here in central MA this weekend Sadly, some tap rooms are not currently operating, so this is the list I have compiled: Element in Miller's Falls True West - Acton Tackle Box - Marlboro Sterling Street - Clinton Redemption Rock - Worcester Pioneer Valley - Turners Falls (not sure if they have a taproom open...) Lost Shoe - Marlboro Hitchcock - Bernardston Ground Effect - Hudson Flying Dreams - Marlboro Altruist - Sturbridge Anyone have any recommendations from this list or others?

Congratulations!
