Tri-Cities Trip
Tri-Cities Trip Before we start, it has been brought to my attention that I should leave politics out of my stories. I agree completely with not including politics in my stories.

New Fundraisers
New Fundraisers Let’s start with something from the “You can’t make this stuff up department.” Two headlines from CNN on the same day. “Trump’s travel ban likely accelerated the spread of the Coronavirus.” This was according to Bill Gates. “Studies show the Coronavirus can spread on airlines.” Okay, let’s start with the first one.
