The Ritzville Adams County Journal - Eastern Adams County's Only Independent Voice Since 1887

Sorry about not having a column for a few weeks. I’ve had last minute commitments on the day I normally write this column therefore I miss the deadline. Oh sure I could have written it a day early but that’s not my style.

If you look at the March 16 date you might not remember that it was two years ago that the world shut down for two weeks to flatten the curve of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now 104 weeks later it seems that this state finally has decided that we are safe again to not have to wear a mask. I sure hope the kids appreciate their new found freedom.
