A small team of nurses and support staff set up tables and medical supplies inside the Open Hearth homeless shelter for men in Hartford.
Shelter clients and employees, all masked, lined up to register at a check-in table. Geriann Gallagher, an advanced practice registered nurse, brought clients over one at a time to her vaccination station. Austin Anglin, 67, sat down.
“Have you ever had to use an epinephrine pen for a swollen tongue or shortness of breath?” Gallagher asked.
“No,” Anglin replied.
“I’m going to use your left arm today, right?” Gallagher confirmed, before cleaning the area with an alcohol wipe and using a syringe to inject a dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine into Anglin’s arm.

As dignitaries filed into their seats for President Joe Biden’s inauguration in Washington, D.C., roughly a dozen people affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement in Connecticut marched to the front of the state Capitol in Hartford.
When they arrived, they expected armed Trump supporters.
“We’re not going to be held back at home staying safe because of idle threats of armed Trumpers being here,” said Al Mayo, a Gales Ferry resident, over a megaphone.
He spoke over the hum of military vehicles stationed outside the state Supreme Court across the street. No Trump supporters met them in Hartford, but National Guard troops were standing nearby, weapons in hand.

We tend to think of the United States as the home of all things bright, shiny and new, not a land of ancient cultures and archaeological sites that fascinate history buffs and experts alike.
That’s what happens when one operates on assumptions and misinformation, instead of truths and cold, hard facts – we end up with metaphorical egg on our faces.
In fact, there are several places in America that rival some of the most important archaeological sites in Greece and Rome. Sites that are truly ancient.
Sites that date back thousands of years. Sites that continue to offer insights and valuable information to the folks who study America’s geographic development, as well as the country’s Native populations who lived there long before Columbus crossed the Atlantic from Europe.
