Vaccines for COVID should be mandatory

Letter to the Editor
Tuesday, December 7, 2021
Dear Editor: I. Do. Not. Understand. Why. People. Refuse. To. Get. COVID. Vaccinations. Then when they get COVID, they expect medical staff to help them, when they wouldn’t listen to them and get vaccinated in the first place.

You may have noticed the Betterhalf had a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye. All of this came from a short story with a much delayed ending. Let’s begin this tale from about a month ago when our grandson and his wife dined with us.
Nebraska co-captain Austin Allen watches helplessly on what turned out to be his final snap wearing the scarlet and cream as Iowa snags the game-winning interception with less than a minute to play in a 28-21 loss to the Hawkeyes Friday. Allen is set to begin training for a potential pro football career in the coming months and will enter the NFL draft.

Austin Allen’s first game in Memorial Stadium was a tough pill to swallow. His final one wasn’t any easier.  Oz, a then-junior for the Aurora Huskies, made one of the more impressive high school catches I’ve seen on the right sideline with his team down 25-21 on a 4th and 16.

Everything finally started to fall into place for Austin Allen in Badgerland.  Well, except for one thing.  The Nebraska co-captain had the game of his life Saturday, catching seven passes for 143 yards in Saturday’s road game at Wisconsin, a single game school record for a tight end.

TBH, LOL changes in lingo can be confusing

As we get older the word “change” carries a whole new meaning and it’s one that occurs more often and is also one of more frequent personal dread. “Change” now interrupts my comfortable routine and lifestyle more than I would like although I also must admit “change” in some instances has been good.
