U.S. Steel. We expected something was coming and yet it hits so hard after all the efforts to keep them going in Granite City - a town struggling enough without this loss.
Not just Illinois but Comcast Xfinity is finally coming clean about the data breach that for the last week I had suspected they had. Was forced to reset passwords which I’ve never had them do before. I guess it happened back in October.

What’s become of Oswego Willy? Haven’t seen him posting in a while.
- Rich Miller - Tuesday, Dec 19, 23 @ 8:59 am:
Moe, OW decided to take a pause. He’s fine. No worries. Life happens. Things change.

Need to bake some lebkuchen today for Christmas since the grandkids asked …

State Bureaucracy
My wife created a reading project to gather books, clean them, and then give them to prisons, jails, children’s homes, etc.
The state is now expecting her to create a spreadsheet with ISBNs, fair market value, titles, authors, etc.
So much for giving to and helping the incarcerated. What once was a gift has now become a literal job (a couple thousand books).

@ Rich: thank you

Sounds like auditors / documentation requirements run amok.

Keith Wheeler is first class.
I like both new changes at the Big Chamber. Now if only they could actually focus on small business. Walk the talk.

Hat tip to Mrs. H-W.
That sounds like a very worthwhile project.

Also was wondering about Oswego Willy and glad he’s okay.

Best thing I read all day(bp)
I wish him, and all of you, a Joyous Christmas and Holiday Season.

Glad to hear OW is fine.
I need him to come back and keep me from my general wayward path.

Peace be with you each and all.
