Have you been thinking about going back to school or encouraging your kids to stay local for their college education, or to start their college years? There are many colleges throughout Eastern New York and the Hudson Valley. There is one college that has recently received recognition for their online programs.
How did the service/company Premium Schools make their calculations as to who has the best online programs in New York? To be fair, they calculated who was the Best of the Best in all 50 states.

CDC Gives Thumbs Up to Go Without Masks If Fully Vaccinated
I need to start off by saying that I am fully vaccinated and I still honor and respect businesses that are asking us to wear masks when entering their business. However, I wish there was a bracelet I could wear that could help me get away with not wearing a mask because the amount of times I have had to run back to my car to grab my mask just within this past month is rather embarrassing.
I like many Americans leaped for joy when I found out what the CDC had to say earlier today. The updated CDC mask guidance is giving all those who have fully vaccinated the ability to walk around without a mask. However, the judgmental looks that we get from mask shamers may stick around.
