    Now that's a stretch. I don't have tattoos because of a fear of needles, I don't have tattoos because I don't see the need to permanently mar an otherwise acceptable body.

    Yep, one million dollars per lucky winner each Monday for 5 weeks with the first drawing on 5/24 and the last on 6/21. There's a separate drawing each week for students aged 12 to 18 for a full boat 4 year scholarship to any Ohio University.

    Registration for the drawings began today so I just registered both my wife and I since that gives us 2 chances in 5,000,000 or so, depending upon how many people complete the registration process. I'm feeling lucky!

    Oh pray tell, where are you seeing this? Your constant reaching is ridiculous!

    Apparently it’s working. SO is watching the news and I just overheard that Ohio vaccinations are up 28% since the announcement! Good luck!

    Perhaps these actions also make the point that refusing to be vaccinated qualifies you for a different, higher-stakes lottery.

    My brother was finally able to book his second Pfizer shot yesterday after trying for a week. When my parents got theirs the place gave them their second appointments that same day, but the governor has been shutting down some vaccination sites, so this didn't happen with him. Because of the special freezers required it is hard to find the Pfizer in many settings. The state continues to underwhelm and frustrate with its vaccine rollout. That our state has already reached herd immunity is a tribute to the persistence of the citizens, not the government.

    An average of 570 cases per day over the last week in a state with just 7 million residents does not fit the definition of herd immunity.

    It should not be so hard to get the shot as it is in Mass. The last three times I have been in New Hampshire, they are advertising walk-ins at Walmart, Hannaford, and Walgreen.
