I'm confirmed antibody positive. I can't be passing covid germs to anybody.  why should I wear a mask?
(I assume we should, if we chooses to continue, move this to one of the numerous covid threads.)

I'll pass.

People that won't wear masks because they're "sure" they had it or they "have antibodies."

Iv'e never been there but why can't they just let people drive thru for access but keep all the concessions outside the park closed and not let people do anything outside the park?

Because it's a lot easier to say no than enforce restrictions. They don't owe it to us to give us what we want. It's their land, they don't want, and it's about time we respect their no.  Additionally, it's more likely they'll regret access than regret disallowing access.

Whoever posted here (can't find it now) the hack for screenshots - using the Windows-Shift-S keys - thank you! I started using it, and it's great! I also love the editing pane that you can open after taking the screenshot.

Is this much different from hitting the Print Screen button to save a screenshot to the clipboard?

Chabad of Jackson, Kalispell, Missoula, and Bozeman

Nice.  When we were in GLAC, YELL, and GRTE almost two decades ago, there wasn't a single Chabad in all of MT, ID, and WY.

Anything to do in Chicago these days?  What's the story with restaurants?

Are passport stamps from now-closed visitor centers available elsewhere?

It wasn't so clear that you wanted 3x day minyan.  @Something Fishy 's "interesting thing" might be what you want, although you can certainly do plenty of awesome day trips from Anchorage on your own, some flying, some driving, some on the Alaska RR.

Anybody thinking about going to Alaska in August?  Want to have a minyan (will have a sefer torah), and tix are only 25k miles on Alaska Airlines so it's super tempting...

Stay in Anchorage?  Nice size Chabad.

Indiana Dunes, IN (2020) (Just a quick visit to "be yotze". Doesn't really count as much.)

Was Wind Cave NP closed? Didn't go just to be yotze?
