Answer to Question 1

Metes and bounds are the distances and boundary lines of the property starting from a designated place of beginning, traveling along the boundary lines until returning to the beginning point. The role of metes and bounds is to provide a legally accurate description of the property. The use of natural monuments, such as trees or stream beds, is gradually being replaced by in-ground concrete markers or iron pins.

Answer to Question 2

The accuracy of the description is critical. Only the land described is transferred. If the description is not accurate and part of the parcel is omitted, the portion omitted is not transferred and remains in the ownership of the grantor.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
