Thumbs up, Thumbs down

Thumbs Up…

...To Thanksgiving, a great reminder to appreciate everything and everyone we have. Also a great chance to eat way too much and enjoy some football.

...To the last month of 2020. The worst year in recent history is just about over, giving us the chance to make 2021 the best it can be.

...To a possible vaccine for COVID-19, a great scientific breakthrough that will help us control the virus. 

...To the election being over; for no matter who you support, the political ads are gone and we can move past this election.  

...To wearing a mask. Just put it on ladies and gentlemen, it is not that difficult.

Thumbs Down…

...To the holiday COVID spike. While it is hard to be without family during the holiday season, it is the best way to keep everyone safe and healthy.

...To the death of Diego Maradona, a soccer legend who will be dearly missed. 

...To the new mystery illness in India that has hospitalized over 500 people. Hopefully it can be controlled quicker than the coronavirus.

...To no holliday parades this year, because although safety is very important it is still sad to see Oshkosh without a holiday celebration.

..To bad WiFi, an unfortunate aspect of online learning.
