Singer Carly Simon’s two older sisters died this week after losing their battles with cancer.

Joanna Simon died on Wednesday after a battle with thyroid cancer, one day before her 86th birthday. Her sister Lucy, 82, died on Thursday of breast cancer.

Most likely to our tiny Cow Town in the form of a new fire truck or EMT vehicle, or an expanded fire station, a park, a dog park (my vote!) or to the football team, of which Beau is an alum.

Those sound like nice choices! Any one of them would be greatly beneficial to your community!

I was just reflecting today how yesterday's titans of industry built school buildings, libraries, public parks, hospitals—but today's zillionaires get into political manipulations, foundations and PACs not to serve the whole country, but to destroy the Constitution. Or mess with human biology, like Gates and Fauxi. You wish some of them would just repair a superhighway or a suspension bridge or build an effective recycling plant. Those things could be named after them and do a lot more good.
