The new year arrived in Creston and seemed pretty much like last year.
Leota Workman, age 85, passed away after a long losing battle with Alzheimer’s disease. The daughter of Hershel Pepper & Gay Davis Pepper Miller she worked for years in the postal system. Burial at Pine Alley.
A woman whose daughters apparently were not known for their culinary skills, advised them to do well they should marry men who could cook. Somewhat later she modified her statement to say, “I did not mean to cook meth & crack!”
John Griffin lost his cell phone somewhere in the Creston & Burning Springs area so if anyone found one please let him know. There has been lots of searching.
“Cheryl” posted a comment on the Ridgeview News that she was upset with the Creston news. Perhaps she is one who worships Dr. Fauci, who, by the way, has not practiced medicine since 1963. She said that she thought that Alvin tried to run her over Christmas Eve in Creston. To set the record straight, Alvin & his wife were 900 miles away visiting their only two grandchildren.
Speaking of Dr. Fauci, the local folks who had his virus have now recovered. It was learned that in 2003 VP Dick Cheney put Dr. Fauci in charge of biodefense and thus Fauci was answerable to no one but was able to hand out $billions for “research” so, as they say, “money talks”. When the Big Eared One said to stop gain of function research because it was too dangerous, Dr. Fauci, via Eco Health, sent the $$ to the Chinese Communist Germ Warfare lab to continue the work he said was “worth the risk”. Also, it has been learned that there are/were numerous US funded “research labs” in, of all places, Ukraine. In 2017 Dr. Fauci said that president Trump would face a pandemic. Now either he was a prophet or he was just letting folks, who needed to know, to understand what would be coming. If Dr. Fauci’s job was to keep us safe & prevent pandemics, he was a miserable failure.
Most local folks believe in the sanctity of life and oppose the killing of babies. Occasional Cortex, noted for her depth of understanding & wisdom, said that abortion was a Jewish sacrament “Our Jewish brothers & sisters are able to have an abortion according to their faith”. It would seem that the representative misunderstood about Molech, a non Hebrew “god” who, it seems, has more followers now than in Old Testament times.
There is a big push for “digital dollars”. Of course, this would mean that “someone” would then be able to trace every transaction in the nation. This would be in addition to the IRS requirement for reporting any transaction of $600 or more using IRS form 1099. This would explain the hiring of 87,000 armed IRS agents who would not be going after the “super rich”.
The price of local Pennsylvania grade crude rose to $79.26/bbl. with condensate, formerly called Appalachian light sweet fetching $63.26/bbl. while Marcellus & Utica light brought $70.26 & medium $79.26/bbl. Natural gas on the NYMEX was $5.332/MMBTU and in 2022 the United States became the world leader in the export of LNG [liquified natural gas].
