• Daydiana at Walmart on State Road 46 putting the microwave in my car.
• John Freed Insurance for always looking out for us, from Larry and Kathy Rudd.

Onions to …
• people who order lunch delivery online at work without including a tip and then have the front office staff sign for it — avoiding giving a tip to the driver.
• those who say, “you don’t have good childhood memories or you’re from out of town,” about the Crump when I have great Columbus childhood memories — none of which include the Crump — and couldn’t care less about a derelict theater.
• the person who missed the point about signage with the word “firemen” — it’s not inclusive and it ignores the women in the department who do the same job as the men and aren’t recognized.
• the person complaining about poor reception of the IU basketball game when all they had to do was tune to a different radio station to hear the game.
• the Republican city council candidates who won and admit to reaching out to their constituents less and less each term.
