Opinion
In our area, water is hardly ever in short supply. Droughts are a rarity in Central Appalachia and rain is usually never far from falling.
We’re still dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. Despite the fact that we’re in the beginning stages of reopening our economy, we still have a long way to go before we can declare, “Mission accomplished.”
For all of us, but particularly our children, life after COVID-19 will never be the same.
