Orchids to

the staff at Nexus Park voting center for efficiency and to the kind woman manning the wheelchair to assist voters with the long walk, I really appreciated your help.

Jacob Kiste at Bender Lumber for excellent customer service.

volunteers at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church for servicing my car last Saturday.

Gillman Home Centerstaff in Edinburgh for figuring out the problem with our new weedeater when the big box store who sold it wouldn’t touch it.

the editorial about school vouchers that penalize public schools.

Mary Ferdon, for winning the 2023 GOP nomination for Columbus mayor, from John Tinkey.

the lady that paid for my breakfast at McDonald’s on Tuesday morning.

Onions to

those who succumb to the imaginary threat of falling prey to obscenity, obscenity is in the eye of the beholder.

the local condominium community removing the dumpster so none of the residents have anywhere to put larger trash.

the “competitive” political parties providing voters such bounteous choice that 40% (i.e. 6,000) fewer of us even bothered to cast votes in the last two primaries compared to the two preceding primaries.

the current administration for revamping mortgage loans where those with good credit pay more and those with worse credit pay less.

our state legislators for giving more of our tax dollars to themselves, and the wealthy in the form of the school voucher program.

failures in border security, crime, economy, energy independence, international relations, and more by our current federal leader.

men who refuse to acknowledge or support their children or grandchildren.

Happy Birthday to

Amiah on No. 13, love Gavin, Nevaeh, and Mom.
