Book Shelf honors volunteers

In recognition of April as Volunteer Appreciation Month, the Book Shelf recognized over forty volunteers at their annual appreciation breakfast Tuesday morning. The Book Shelf is the fundraising arm for the Coffee County Adult Literacy Council and has been described as “a gem of a bookstore in downtown Tullahoma”.

Bullets flying left to right

The third assassination attempt on Trump in two years by a leftist, and the Southern Poverty Law Center’s grand jury indictment for paying the Klan and other remnants of race groups to stage what happened in Charlottesville, tell you all you need to know about the current Democrat Party. Reagan and Trump were shot at. Obama, Biden and Clinton went through no assassination attempts. Bullets are flying in one direction: left to right. None of these Democrats even had known threats, unless you count Hillary’s lamp throwing attempts on Bill Clinton.

Dear iPhone, I need a break

A friend of mine recently lost his iPhone. I’ll call him Jack, since that’s his name. (He doesn’t read my column, so we’re safe here.) For about 24 hours, Jack’s life was a mess. He couldn’t focus on anything except his missing phone. “My whole life is on that phone,” he said. “My money, my passwords, my pictures. I’m lost without it!”

Do you sing as often as you should?

I don’t remember my mother singing much to me and my brother during our formative years. (Technically, I’m still in my formative years -- if you count forming calluses, wrinkles, reasons to go to bed before nine…) Sure, Mom did a dutiful job of singing in church (while Dad hummed), but there wasn’t the oneon- one, “patty cake, patty cake” experience seen in some families. (SOMEWHERE I came up with the misheard “The Farmer in the Deal,” but I don’t think there was a maternal aspect to the transaction.)
