Pieces of Me
I love to write. I have a lot to say, or at least I think I do. I wish I had paid more attention in Mrs. Hansen’s English class back at good ol’ CCHS so I can write properly today. I remember back in grade school having to do SRAs for English class. Danny Renn, Misty Johnson and I kicked butt getting those stacks of SRAs whipped out. I remember us being so far ahead of most of our classmates that we didn’t have to do a few levels of them. Maybe if I had, I would know where punctuation goes today?

Demonstrators for Trump/Harris
Last Friday at 5 p.m. there were two groups of people each demonstrating along Highway 61 in Grand Marais on behalf of their candidate for President and Vice President. The group closet to Java Moose was for Harris/Walz while the other group, about 300 feet away along the harbor wall held signs for their candidates of choice, Trump/Vance. While the protesters were civil, there was some ugly comments from passerbys on bicycles to the Trump supporters that was unwarranted. In the past similar insults and hazing has happened to the Harris/Walz supporters.
