SUMMARY: The US federal government is offering free COVID-19 tests once again. Starting Monday, people can order up to four rapid antigen tests per household. This $600 million initiative aims to strengthen the country's preparedness for the upcoming fall and winter seasons. The tests can be ordered online or by phone and will provide results within 30 minutes. This initiative comes after a three-month hiatus in which the government did not offer free tests. In addition to the tests, an updated vaccine has been rolled out by the CDC. Doctors recommend getting vaccinated as cases rise during the fall season.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi Petrified Forest, located in Flora near Jackson, is a unique national forest in the southeastern U.S., presenting a natural history of Mississippi. Discovered in the mid-1800s, it opened to the public in 1963 under Bob and Shirl Schabilion. Formed around 36 million years ago through natural processes like flooding and glacial movements, the petrified logs are remnants of ancient trees, once over 100 feet tall. Visitors can explore the nature trail, view exhibits in the Earth Science Museum, try gem mining, or camp at the site. The forest also features a new pavilion for events and a gift shop with souvenirs.
