A bad joke about a local reporter. Shouldn’t have sent it, but I did. Shows how the lust for ink overrode manners and good sense at times.

These troubled times remind us that it is always good to be prepared. Now that we know it is possible for the normal economy to shut down with the appearance of a new virus, it would behoove all of us to come up with some kind of job we can do from home.
