30 Seconds

During this extreme cold weather, please take care of all animals outside. Don't just send them outside in the cold. Bring them in, and give them food, warmth and water. Gotta love those animals.

I recently purchased a Sunday newspaper out of Akron, Ohio. I was amazed. There were 111 names in the obituary section. I'm also amazed and saddened by the number of people who still are so ignorant and call the coronavirus a lie and won't get the vaccination.

I pay my trash bill on time every quarter to the only game in town, and they won't pick up my trash because of inclement weather, or anyone else on my side of the road. But the other side of the road got theirs picked up. They won't credit the bill, and they won't pick it up for another week. Go figure.
