This is just a comment on the cartoon in Wednesday’s newspaper. According to The Wall Street Journal (Dec. 21), the U.S. dollar is worth 0.9412 euros. However, it takes 131.70 yen to make one dollar, and it takes 70.25 rubles to make one dollar.

I’m grateful to have attended the St. Charles Christmas pageant. I do not know the identity of the blonde-haired angel in the top row. She danced without pretense, choreography or objective. She danced with the pure joy of being a child at Christmas. Here’s a warm thank you to staff and performers.

The Dec. 20th article in The Lima News, “Schools deal with tax issues” reminded me of a couple of articles that I have routinely shared on social media. These articles (“Handing out tax breaks to businesses is worse than useless,” Bloomberg Business News, March 17, 2017; “The most socially just tax,” Progress Magazine, Sept. 24, 2019) discuss the problem of and solution to the tax issue being dealt with by local area schools.

The January 6th Committee has released its report.

On Monday, my husband was out in our Kia Soul at the eastside Walmart. The Soul suffered a breakdown and couldn’t be driven.

My friend and I were at Panera Bread on Sunday moring. Twin girls age 6, Mabel and Mona, came up to us and gave each of us a homemade makeup bag, just as a little Christmas gift. How sweet of them, and unexpected.

I would like to say a big “thank you” to the table of four who paid for my meal at Lock Sixteen on Dec. 8. What a surprise when the waitress said my meal was paid for by you. You were gone by that time, so I hope you are reading this.

I want to thank the two young men driving a flatbed truck on Nov. 30. I was headed to the YMCA in Lima, and a dump truck was headed towards me on the west side of the refinery, when two objects flew up and out of the truck.
