Orchids to …

• Mr. Underwood for a wonderful, educational column.

• William Garard for his letter.

• the Everbridge system for the new Flatrock River flood warning phone calls, specific to neighborhood, cresting time and water depth predictions, this is a priceless service.

• smart home buyers who refuse to purchase homes that are way overpriced.

• Rikki at the Bartholomew County Clerk’s office for being so polite and helpful when I was trying to locate some old records.

• William Garard for your spot-on letter.

• a maskless and dry Juneteenth/Ethnic expo celebration downtown, how great to see smiles on people’s faces again.

• the two gentlemen at the Harrison Township trash pickup site Saturday for helping the lady in the red Jeep.

Onions to …

• people for parking in prescription pick up spots and then going in and shopping, these are for pharmacy patients, not lazy customers.

• so many elected representatives who are so willing to avoid dealing with the truth about the insurrection.

• a group that claims they stand for faith and freedom and yet would boo someone who stood firm and obeyed the Constitution.

• the church, if you want to get involved in politics, start paying taxes.

• immigration officials for not allowing more immigrants to come into United States so they can fill jobs that no one is filling.

• all the people who are pushing the vaccine that don’t know what it’s gonna do in 10 years.

• the CEO who used the corporate jet for personal use while his employees took a mandatory pay cut.

• parents that do not want Black history to be taught in schools at an early age.

• guaranteed income which means you don’t work for what you have so it will have less value.

• people that can’t just let go of the thought that the former elected official is not the president, you guys are making fools of yourselves.

• the political party voting against free and fair election results.

• the city that lets people stand on the side of the road and beg for money.

• Marxism in America today.

• our taxes and cost of living going up.

• the federal elected official comparing himself to Roosevelt, a wise strategist who spent money to get out of a depression while the current spending is going to put us into one.

• the people shooting their dirty muddy water out of the mud hole to the other field, didn’t we have enough water to deal with this weekend?
