ALT An illustration shows five fish with a corresponding love language arranged around a wheel. Words of affirmation go with Burbot; Quality time goes with American shad; Physical touch goes with Brook trout; Acts of service go with Largemouth Bass; Receiving gifts goes with Bluehead chub
ALT A blue Valentine's Card says "My love language is Bluehead Chub". The words "I'll bring you all the rocks you need" appear in a speech bubble above a cut out of a chub.
ALT A green Valentine's Card says "My love language is Brook Trout". The words "Let's snuggle up and touch fins" appear in a speech bubble above a cut out of a trout.
ALT A pink Valentine's Card says "My love language is Largemouth Bass". The words "Don't worry honey, I'll watch the kids" appear in a speech bubble above a cut out of a bass.

At last-minute 9am presser, speaker @JKrowinski says uncle: lawmakers will try to pass pension governance reform this session, but push action on the unfunded liability to next year. That means no changes to benefits, contributions, retirement age or the like this session #vtpoli

As demand for vaccinations continues to be high, we are experiencing temporary outages on our vaccine scheduler. We are working to resolve them as quickly as possible to ensure a scheduling experience that helps achieve the shared goal of vaccinating vulnerable populations.
