New mattress on backorder? You re not alone.
Furniture Superstore owner Jim Sather said business has been “through the roof, nationally, for every furniture store” since shops reopened last spring. Money saved from skipping vacations and evenings out, as well as stimulus checks, contributed to the spending boom, he said. And as customers spent more time at home, they noticed improvements to be made, local furniture store owners said.

Election dreaming
Updated 4/16/2021 10:10 AM
Once again Jim Slusher is right on. How can democracy (small d) survive without voting? Of course a non-vote is really a vote, a vote to keep on motoring on, no matter where. Anyway, since I am one of those weird citizens that always voted, let me tell you why 85% of people may have taken a pass. I vote in Blackberry Township, a township as sweet as its name. At my precinct at 9 a.m., as we all know voting starts at 6 a.m., I was the proud voter No. 9 voter. So happy I was not in double digits. Yet all the precinct workers totaled at least 10. It is a true showing of American democracy that the election judges outnumber the voters. In any event, I do believe that 56 people voted that day. Except for Waubonsee College which was a vote for 4 of 6 not a one was contested. In fact, one library trustee position had no votes cast that is no, like zero. I mean, really, you cannot get your brother-in-law to vote for you?
