Now I have to admit, for me, Leprechauns are right up there with Greek Mythology. I remember in school learning about all of the gods and goddesses and in my head, I'm yawning.

For an area that is not included in what is considered "Tornado Alley" we must be some sort of "Tornado cul de sac" or something here in Vinton. I have to admit when I heard the sirens go off, I looked out the window.

Part of my job is filtering the emails that I get. One of those is a list of recalls. Each notice includes which states products were released. If I recognize the company, I'll usually share that information.

Dear Editor, It is dumbfounding and depressing how political the atmosphere on the Covid-19 virus has become.  What is true and what is misinformation?  How can one make any sense out of what is coming from the White House, President Biden, and the medical bureaucracy?  And to really muddy the mix we have the mainstream media weighing in.

Have you ever spent time to figure out how you'll get your debit card replaced without it affecting you? Believe it or not, it can be an ordeal, and I hate ordeals.

The truckers, those mad, terrorists, the racist, thugs, had to go and start a convoy. The silly truckers think that it's time to lift mandates. Oh yes, they did.

To our many readers:  Greetings and Salutations. I wish to announce openly and without reservation — I am not a strict Republican — I was once a voter for Democrats as well as Republicans, but in the ’80s or thereabouts I realized the Democrat Platform was way out there from my political thought.
