Wear a Mask!
I agree with Ms. Ewing and applaud her efforts to keep her immune system strong and healthy. Even if she gets infected by the COVID19 virus, she might be one of the asymptomatic cases because she is conscious of the benefits from diet and exercise. She may never have to cope with more than a slight cough.
However, asymptomatic cases are ALL contagious too!
FED UP!
I am fed with almost all activities that are on scene in our great nation that I shed blood on foreign soil so some thugs have the right to PROTEST and burn our cites to the ground with little resistance?? Wonder how a city can operate without a police force???
Not only that, the politics and many NGO’s.
Our Town: Conflict and Community
Conflict is part of our town’s historic character. Conflicts between settlers and Indians, conflicts between various factions among settlers. Political and social conflicts. Long-time residents and descendants of Mason have survived these conflicts and seem to have embraced them as integral to the rich past of a vibrant town.
Conflict is inevitable in an imperfect world.
Where have all the quail (or frogs, lizards, and turtles) gone?
Anyone who is over 60 and grew up in Mason County knows that wildlife in the county today is very different than it was in their childhood. They may remember quail hunting, when many coveys of quail could be seen every day.
"Ouch!"
Once during a worship service when I was a Campus
Pastor I took hold of a coed’s arm while “passing the
peace.” She immediately cried out in pain, “Ouch!”
Unbeknownst to me the girl had been welding (yes,
welding) in short sleeves and had received a bad radiation burn on her arm.
My reaction, after quickly turning loose of her arm,
was to feel badly about having caused her pain.
But it was too late.

Happy Birthday to Susie Jordan on July 3.
Many Happy Returns…
Uncle Mort isn’t his usual self. His 108th birthday is at hand, and he’s hung up on whether to have a “real” party, or join the growing list of folks who are “computer Zooming” to celebrate special occasions. (Printers are shaking their heads, turning out fancy invitations with the word “virtual” in big type.)
“Maybe I’d do well to throw a ‘virtual’ party,” Mort mused.
Summer Reading officially begins on July 6! Kids will have the chance to “Read for a Treat.” To participate, kids in grades K-5 can stop by and pick up a bag with a book log and some fun surprises inside! And be sure to check out our next virtual program: “Rob Holladay’s Magical Balloon Show” on July 7.

Getting Wet in a Dry County!
I get bemused glances from visitors to Mason County when I describe our home as the wettest dry county around. We have numerous bars around the square, and beer is available at the grocery and convenience stores, while wine is easily found at an increasing number of establishments in the area.
