Around Town – January 9

Orchids to …

• the respectful drivers who stopped during the funeral procession on Monday afternoon.

• John Bolton for his willingness to testify before the Senate should Republicans want the truth.

• Aaron Villiger for your great help with my computer, from Gramma Harris.

• Whoever wrote the “OK Boomer” column — that was fantastic.

• Thurman at the Kroger meat/seafood department for always being so kind and helpful, from a happy customer.

• John Bolton for his willingness to testify in the trial of President Trump.

• Kelly Oliphant for getting her driver’s license, from Harold.

• the TV channel who alerted us not to use the current year as ‘20, scammers can then add any year behind it to take advantage of us.

• everyone who realizes that legislators determine the amount of money given to local school corporations which impacts the money available for teachers’ salaries.

• the government of Iraq for telling American military to remove our troops from their country.

Onions to …

• an administration that would even suggest committing war crimes by targeting cultural sights.

• an administration that assassinates foreign leaders and provides no evidence of imminent threats other than their own impeachment.

• those who pay no attention to history’s lessons.

• Republicans for supporting a president who created a mess that will eventually end in deaths, all because all he cares about is himself, votes, and and oh yeah, himself.

• Democrats because of who they are and what they represent.

• Christians following false gods.

• the cartoon with a road sign of all with funny Indiana town names implying this state is “No Where.”

• the rude employee in the local store who said it wasn’t his job to help customers.

• those responsible for the distribution of the annual calendar and the inability to contact to report not receiving it when trying to get it.

• Democrats who don’t want to stand behind the president when he’s trying to fight terrorism and keep you safe.

• the president for putting his interests above the American people, lying, and not draining the swap as promised.

• not including two of the ‘players of the year’ in the decade of top boys basketball players.

• the president who campaigned with the pledge to get the U.S. out of the Middle East, yet started a war with Iran, with no evidence of imminent threat, to justify his actions, apparently only doing so to try and take away the news coverage about his impeachment.

• the president for starting a war with Iran which has isolated us from our allies, increased the threat posed to our service members and diplomats serving overseas and shifted resources from the Counter-ISIS mission.

Happy Birthday to …
