    Thomas L Knapp|Aug 30, 2023

    COVID-19: Never Let Them Re-Impose the "New Normal" I keep hearing that COVID-19 is back -- but of course, it never really left and likely never will. Case numbers and hospitalizations are ticking upward, something we're likely to see as a seasonal phenomenon from here on out. I finally experienced the virus firsthand last week.

It killed my mother in...

Roundup also has its letter on the hill, but in recent years it has disappeared into the landscape. Jerry wants to bring back this traditional landmark. Why is the landmark not being annually painted? The land has become private property....
