Sean Connery - The Coolest Bond Ever!
(CNN)Sean Connery was a movie star, like few before him and practically no one since. Made famous by the role of Bond, James Bond, the Oscar-winning actor established himself as much more than just 007, although his standard-setting work in that role is surely the most indelible aspect of his screen legacy.
Sir Thomas Sean Connery was a Scottish actor and producer. He is best known as the first actor to portray the character James Bond in film, starring in seven Bond films between 1962 and 1983. Connery was in smaller theatre and television productions until he got his break with the Bond films. Wikipedia

ALBANY – The county health department is dealing with a coronavirus outbreak among its staff, as hospitalizations in Albany County hit their highest level since June 1.

“This is an example of our employees doing the right thing- wearing a mask, social distancing, frequently sanitizing their hands and still contracting the virus," McCoy said.
The county did not say what role the staffers played within the department, or if it has been able to trace the transmission source.

Albany Planning Board rejects proposed Stewarts
The company’s first application was rejected in August.
ALBANY – The city Planning Board rejected a Stewart’s Shops application for a Washington Avenue store, 5-0, for the second time in three months earlier this week.
“I believe you have a great product; this is just not the right location for that, said board Chairman Al De Salvo after the vote.
Neighbors had spoken out against the proposed store at the corner of Colvin and Washington avenues, arguing that it would increase vehicle traffic and didn't fit in with the character of the neighborhood. The proposal would also require demolition of two homes in the area.
