One of our rural VA clinics has been short a physician for 3 years, but they finally had a candidate who was slated to start in the next few weeks. Now the offer has been rescinded due to the hiring freeze. #ThanksTrump for worsening rural healthcare access for veterans.

A little bike ride sunset view palate cleanse. Cars streamed by next to me, none of them able to take a moment and soak up this view. I passed several other cyclists after this sitting and doing the same thing - taking in the peace and calm of a beautiful sunset.
