“Bob Dole, the plain-spoken son of the prairie who overcame Dust Bowl deprivation in Kansas and grievous battle wounds in Italy to become the Senate majority leader and the last of the World War II generation to win his party’s nomination for president, died on Sunday. He was 98,” the New York Times reports.
Whoo hoo! I scrolled back and found your posts on Wednesday evening. I never came by that night because I'm head-down on a deadline. (Must have a 30 page research document complete by next weekend!). I *might* make it. But, oh wow, I can't believe I've been watching for you all this time and missed the moment!

Puerto Rico has the highest percentage, as 74.5% of the total population is fully vaccinated.
DeleteAll the New England states are over 70% except, of course, New Hampshire.
