Where is it?
Do you say this more often than you used to?
Gary says he is aggravated by losing his glasses he has misplaced and spends time looking for them.
I can agree. In fact, I lost my glasses recently. I remembered putting them down very carefully to take care of them. I could just “see” where they were, except I couldn’t “see” where they were placed!

During the retail revolution of the past 33 years, The Mississippi Gift Company has ridden the wave of marketing trends across every part of our digital age, while preserving its distinctive southern charm, warmth, and hospitality toward customers.
Cindy and Tim Tyler were newlyweds, fresh out of college in 1993. They had little more than a great idea and a bank loan when they rented a small space in downtown Greenwood, planning to make corporate gift baskets with Mississippi-made products during the Christmas season.

Dear Editor:
I have found the back-and- forth between Robert Wise and Peter Gilderson interesting, but I'm compelled to address Mr. Gilderson. It must be cozy living in his world of denial...nothing to fear! He recently countered that he had listed 11 "achievements" of Trump's, so I wish to counter those:

Portrait painting is about attention, and Bouldin knew this. But place was just as important to him in all this work, even when he painted national figures.

Below is a political opinion column by Russ Latino:
COVID money masked the true cost of Mississippi’s Medicaid program. Now reserves are depleted and the budget is exploding. Mississippi dodged a bullet when Medicaid expansion efforts failed.
Mississippi lawmakers scrambled this session to plug a Medicaid budget hole. The Division of Medicaid sought $390 million more from the state for FY2027 to cover the existing population of recipients.

With regards to “One Street/2,000 Residents” I’m reminded that vast problems are not solved with half-vast solutions. Jackson needs wins, and perhaps “One Street” or “One Lake” will provide a win. But even if successful, neither project offers a vast solution to Jackson’s vast problems.
The real drivers of Jackson’s future are the growth of UMMC, Baptist, the VA, and Merit hospitals; the expansion of the Jackson State campus; and sustained private-sector investment from companies like Amazon and Entergy.

Energy is the big story so far in 2026. First was the military incursion to snatch and extract Venezuelan President Maduro on 3 January and subsequent plans to control and redirect the flow of Venezuelan crude from China to U.S. refineries.
On 28 February the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran. The Strait of Hormuz was closed two days later. That changed everything. Not surprisingly that has rattled financial markets in a manner rarely seen. Shutting off 20% of the world’s oil, gas, LNG and fertilizer dislocates critical supply chains across the globe.
