Well, Nancy Pelosi gave in—finally—and signed the big Corona Bill that will hopefully give $1,200 in stimulus dollars to each taxpaying adult. The bill was stagnating for two or three days on her desk before she finally yielded to pressure and wrote her name on it. And what was her “excuse” for holding the bill up? She said she had to take some clauses and words out that “you know who” (Trump) had in it to divert much of the money to billionaires and CEO’s and thus, stealing from we worthy yet suffering taxpayers. So, I guess the money is on its way—to us. I hear the money will be sent to our banks for direct deposit and all you billionaires and CEO’s can just leave the bank lobbies and go home.

News traveled slow. Grandpa probably had heard little about the flu when he boarded the train there in Wister to travel to Fort Smith for a song leader’s conference. George Boyd was the song leader at the Free Will Baptist Church there in Liberty, a nice little church next to Mountain Creek in the shadow of Wolf Mountain.
Read moreCan I catch the Coronavirus? Why not? Seems like the Pope has it. Well, his staff members claim the Pope only has a cold, but he is into his second week of cancelling events. Looks suspicious to me. And the Ayatollah’s top aid just died of it. Since I note this virus is zeroing in on those of the “cloth” it has made me more concerned for our own local pastors here around Allen. I haven’t seen any of our local clergy coming down with this yet. But I think we should keep an eye on them. I saw Buddy Drake,
