I like listening to Bread 🥪, which is the maximum soppyiness of music 🎶 that they play ▶ on the oldies station not that anybody listens to the radio 📻 anymore.
Corydon Township | Lest we Forget |McKean County, PA
Kinzua County is often spoken of as a beautiful place and attractive to tourist. Nearby, to the north, was a little town that had its attractions too, now swallowed up with water and seldom spoken of. The name Corydon.
We do not know how Corydon got its name. It was located on the Allegheny Plateau in a fertile valley through which the Allegheny River flows. It was situated between two Indian reservations, Seneca to the North and Cornplanter to the south. Along the shore were many interesting plant, cattails, willows, thorn-like plant, and fragrant blossoms. Here and there towering trees grew. People enjoyed boating and fishing on the Allegheny, gathering bluebells on Brown's Island, gathering wild crabapple blossoms, getting arbutus, lady slippers, marsh marigolds, wintergreen-berries and, in the autumn, bittersweet which was prized for the winter bouquets. Chestnuts were plentiful then as well as wild plums.
A Californian who visited Corydon, years ago had this to say: "The Corydon, Warren and Bradford area of Pennsylvania is as lovely in natural beauty, residential appeal and genuine hospitality as any spot I have yet seen. Through the Allegheny Valley I have seen the fundamentals of real living and unblemished works of nature at its best. The Pennsylvanians of this area are blessed with a setting for the unexcelled".
What it’s Like to Receive Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine – D Magazine
The Pfizer vaccine involves two shots taken three weeks apart. Casanova says the first shot, which is merely an introduction that allows the body to get used to the messenger so the immune system can start developing antibodies, had nearly no impact. He said there was some soreness where the injection happened, but other than that, he thought he had received the placebo; he had no symptoms.
Three weeks later, when he received the second shot, he was sure that it was the vaccine. The second shot is a booster, which allows the immune system to kick into action, creating antibodies. The response was noticeable but didn’t last long. He experienced flu-like symptoms, with some chills as he went to bed. By 3 a.m., the symptoms were gone.
It should be noted, the vaccine is not introducing the virus to the system, and the symptoms are just the immune system doing what it is supposed to do.

A second COVID-19 vaccine now also appears highly effective in preventing illness following exposure to the virus that causes the disease.
The biotech company Moderna Inc. said Monday that its experimental vaccine was 94.5% effective in preventing disease, according to an analysis of its clinical trial.
