Anything for a buck

I took my child to a Barnum and Bailey circus years ago. I was horrified. They were using baby elephants in their act. I wondered then what the Show Me Center was doing sponsoring such a terrible thing for children to see and be given the impression that it was okay to do that to another creature. But of course, it was for money, as is everything else. Anything for money, and it doesn't matter what.

Still have good people

I just want people to know considerate, helpful and thoughtful people here in Sikeston. During this last snow, the trash man pulled my trashcan up underneath the carport, which I appreciated. And also, I have a neighbor across the street that has made a couple of trips over here to bring my papers in so I didn't have to get out in the snow. I just wanted to give them a thank you in the paper.
