Orchids to
The Republic and Daily Journal for the great reporting and photos of the protest at Camp Atterbury, the most thorough and accurate I have seen anywhere.
the hundreds of people that rallied to protest the use of Camp Atterbury as a detention center.
Patty Pigman for remind us of the steps in preventing sleep-related infant deaths.
the BMV staff for a very efficient, quick and courteous service when I went to renew my driver’s license.
the Columbus Mandolin Orchestra for a great, uplifting Sunday afternoon concert.
the great article by Erika Malone reporting the protest against the potential use of Camp Atterbury as an immigrant detention center.
Gavin Newsom!
the person that stopped to help the turtle cross the road near Otter Creek Golf Course.
Onions to
the escalating gas prices with no sight of the promised $2 a gallon price made by the occupant of the White House, which is another example of his failure and lies.
the president for complaining that the Smithsonian is showing how “bad” slavery was, so what does he think was “good” about that, 100% group employment?
the ongoing death of the culture of our country.
the city for neglecting to maintain the library and visitor’s center parking lot, which is always full of downtown employees and never the people it’s meant for — community members and visitors.
reckless drivers in parking lots.
the would-be dictator who is now planning to invade Chicago and Venezuela.
the illegal presidential edict federalizing the National Guard.
the forming and arming of the “quick reaction force” in Washington, D.C., which will easily be converted to the first “Martial Law Force” by the federal leader.
mayors and governors who have taxpayer-funded security details and then tell us how safe their streets are.
Happy Birthday to
Larry Wheeler, from a friend.
