HIT (from reader Ray Bryars): To all the young people lined up for vaccines at Dokimo’s. I hope you can convince your friends and family to do the same, so we can put this pandemic behind us.
HIT (from Bryars): To Tom Durkin for his “What’s in it for us?” column. We all benefit from the many things that are available to us. Some were developed many years ago by our ancestors and some were produced by our global friends and neighbors. Look at anything around you and think about how it became what it is.

Too bad that our representative in Congress belittled a voter’s voice. And too bad that I failed to challenge her disdain for a voter’s concern.
