We had just finished up the setup as we deliver the L shaped ones in 2 pieces and then install the appliances and serving bar after they are tied together onsite. It was after dark when we pulled out from that one.

My observation of hunters are gleaned from personal experience. After a night of observing at Mt Pinos, California, I wake to the sound of gunfire early in the morning. I know it's hunting season so I quickly pack up the scope as others do the same and depart the winding road down the 8000+ foot mountain top. Now, because I know that hunters are in the area and some of them are idiots, I take it slow around the bends and sure enough, one of 'em has his 4x4 parked in the middle of the road while he's standing on the side with a pair of binoculars and a rifle slung over his shoulder. Anybody else driving down the mountain and around that curve probably would have rear-ended his truck. I 've seen that kind of behavior more than once just like I read about hunters shooting illegally in faded light and hitting another hunter wearing proper attire or not...
PS: And before I get all the nonsensical replies that more people die in car accidents, train wrecks and the like, this is another example of a +1 mortality, ie in addition to the latter. Get it?

For this particular thread, the point is other countries have started vaccinating much sooner than the US, so the Trump mantra of taking credit for "warp speed" is hype. 
And we're talking about getting the vaccine to the population at large and not a tiny segment of it. So who gets it first in the USA? It's up to each of the fifty states to decide so there's fifty different ways that could happen. There's no federal mandate. That's what I mean by a cluster----.

I would politely suggest that the development of such effective vaccines so quickly is a success story at all levels - the federal level included.  Maybe another president could have inspired the scientists and engineers to get it done about this quickly.  I doubt any could have led us to vaccination more quickly.  Maybe the president had little to do with it.  Isn't that always the case?  I think that about so many things the president is blamed for too. 

So, I stand by my kudos to Trump and his administration for Operation Warp Speed.
