Most of us would probably agree that there is a lot of frustration and anger going on in America these days that didn’t start with the pandemic but certainly was exacerbated by it. Our next guest is a working artist that has decided to address this situation with a participatory art project entitled “Just Let It Rip”. Mike Switzer interviews Melinda Hoffman, an artist who works and lives in Mauldin, SC.

Just when we thought these unprecedented times couldn’t get more partisan, another controversy divides our country on a holiday weekend, no less.
Salt on watermelon? Or no salt?
Hyper-partisan divide
The divide seems to be along picnic lines, specifically Fourth of July picnics. Those who don’t see eye-to-eye can’t seem to respect other people s taste buds and get on with the seed-spitting contest.
In an informal Facebook survey, The Daily Reporter asked readers to vote.
“As the July 4th holiday approaches, we want your input. Watermelon: Salt or no salt?”
“No salt” won by a small margin. “Salt” voters are calling for a recount.
