Now that 2020 is finally over hopefully we can all look forward to better things in 2021. There hasn't been a year in recent history more hated and despised than 2020 and most people were more than ready to kick off the new year, myself included. Last year was one of the worst in modern history, even so a lot of you kept your promises and resolutions throughout 2020 despite all that was going on. 

And what to expect it to feel like.

Stay-At-Home orders cannot be enforced, here' why.

The City of Lawton held another virtual Town Hall meeting yesterday (12-10-20) on the city's official Facebook page. The event featured a panel of health experts and community leaders to discuss the current COVID-19 situation in Lawton, Fort Sill. There was also a Q&A session with community leaders and healthcare professionals. If you missed it, we have the all the details and the video for you.

Earlier this week on Tuesday (12-08-20) Mayor Stan Booker along with several community leaders and the Lawton City Council signed a proclamation and pledge declaring today (12-11-20) officially "Healthcare Heroes Day" in Lawton, Fort Sill.

Today's the day (12-04-20) that marijuana could become legal across all 50 states. Congress will be voting on the MORES Act (Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act) that would decriminalize cannabis Nationwide.

Pretty soon the once occasional cold day will be the norm for awhile and we'll be stuck at freezing temps until late Winter, early Spring. As it gets colder and colder you might end up having your hand sanitizer freeze if you left it in your car. So what do you do with frozen hand sanitizer?

The City of Lawton has announced that it will be temporarily closing all facilities to the general public until further notice due to COVID-19. By doing so they hope to help slow or stop the spread of Coronavirus. All of S.W. Oklahoma, Comanche County included, has seen a significant increase in positive cases and hospitalizations.

Funny how that works.

You can't pin blame on anyone.
