Orchids to

John Krull for his spot on column.

the FBI for eliminating the threat of the sale of our top secrets by the former president.

the county highway department for patching the bridge by the Petersville collection site and ditch mowing.

the columns by Bud Herron and Bob Neimoeller, very entertaining.

Bob Neimoeller for his excellent, humorous letter to the editor.

Bob Neimoeller for his amusing and accurate description of a 70th high school reunion.

Onions to

the local radio station airing a weird radio program overnight.

the low part-time pay scale for bus drivers, they must be as qualified as full-time, no wonder there’s a shortage.

the representative whose Nazi quote is ironically defining how his crazy party of right wingers spread disinformation to constituents.

the post office for not delivering the ads packet to their customers.

the store that does not honor its 15% coupon.

the food pantry worker giving out food to family and friends who don’t qualify for it, save the food for the less fortunate families.

the county highway for not mowing back the roads like they were doing a couple of years ago.

installing parking meters downtown which could cripple those businesses struggling to recover from COVID.

the commission, who should “park” for the idea of installing parking meters downtown.

thinking the shift lead at a fast food restaurant or a mop boy is smart enough to determine the fate of a criminal in a jury trial.

the blathering of the guest writer in Saturday’s paper.

those who think they’re convincing people by submitting the same tired insults over and over.

Happy Birthday to

Chris Mitchell, from your family and Donna.
