July 30, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

Fully Vaccinated

April 1, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“There is no vaccine against stupidity” ~ Albert Einstein There is no doubt the number one phrase for 2021 will be “I am fully vaccinated,” and the second will be “I am not getting vaccinated.” What’s a person to do? Take the vaccine or avoid it at all cost? Is it all a bunch of… Read More »

Chosen Yet Frozen
