I like the Spanish language. I just answered someone on the phone asking if I wanted Pico de Gallo on my burrito. I said, "Un poco pico." 😀

Here's a Twitter activity that should get some interest in Ottumwa. We know Ottumwans love animals. But are their pets as cute as others on Twitter? Share a picture with your pals at the @OttumwaCourier on #AllAmericanPetPhotoDay ! https://t.co/VhIDkClO0c

Do you feel bad we have to add 8 snow days onto Ottumwa school year? One board member last night said they think Pekin has to make up 12 snow days! https://t.co/veFdzUQhNL

Amazing, Twitter. To go from Rochester, MICHIGAN to Albert Lea MINNESOTA instantly? Neat trick. I must be doing about 500 mph 🤤. Or use Twitter wrong ...

@coolcam101 The refs should wear helmets.

[Courier Mark @CourierMark]

@TheLastPachuco @Carbon Something about helmets. And how it's too late.

[Courier Mark @CourierMark]

@SonjaJorsen @shellieblum OK. But, I finished reading TWO books last year. Almost. I'm still wrapping up the King James Bible. Don't tell me how it ends.

Yeeha! It is now 4 above zero in Ottumwa. Compared to our record low, this is now 25 degrees warmer. Twenty-five degrees seems like the difference between keeping the house at 65 or keeping it at 90. THAT's a big difference.

Who among us has not shared a laugh over parliamentary procedure? Broken up over Robert's Rules of Order! No one. Ain't funny. Or fun. Well, unless you make a perfectly timed quip during Board Member Takeaways ... (So it's not clickbait, see photo only) https://t.co/8c8eahEzSx
