Sad. Should ask my daughter if she remembers the decorations.

She lived in The Oaks apartments off Hovey last year. Previous Message Most of you had likely seen the meme. He lived less than a mile from my Mom’s house. He had at least 1000 plastic lit Christmas lawn ornaments on his lawn and on his roof. They were inside a fence so it looked like a Christmas concentration camp. Anyway, he died on Friday. Seems cruel to have happened so close to Christmas.

COVID?*

Saw that one while one of our sons was at ISU. Just west of campus?*
