1. President Trump has granted Michigan Governor Whitmer’s request
to use National Guard troops and equipment for humanitarian missions, such as
food distribution. *** Seriously,
that’s great news! It comforts Michigan’s home-bound seniors to know that if
there’s ever a problem with Meals on Wheels there will always be Snacks on Tracks.
2. Sociologists are saying that even though long
periods of home confinement due to COVID-19 can be challenging for families,
one bright spot is that we’re all re-learning how to communicate with each
other face-to-face. *** In fact, just this morning I said to my wife,
”Since we played Monopoly yesterday, let’s play Parcheesi today. Send.”
3. These days, it seems more and more people are
quoting that old saying, “A man hears what he wants to hear.” *** You
know, there’s a lot of truth to that. For example, when I heard that phrase last
week I thought someone had finally developed a better hearing aid.
4. Law enforcement authorities
are warning seniors of the “Hey, Grandma” telephone scam in which the caller
pretends to be a grandchild, says they are in desperate need of money, and
gives instructions on where to send it. ***
Well, you gotta admire the scammer's initiative; that’s a lot of work for five
bucks and a Dollar Store birthday card.
5. Many health experts are now urging all of us to purchase
our needed goods online and, when the package is delivered, leave it in the
garage for 2 or 3 days. *** Note to family and friends: This year our Thanksgiving dinner will start
on a Monday. Please enter through the garage.
