Halloween at Plain Conversations Meeting

Our Democrat Party hosts events called Plain Conversations at a local restaurant/bistro, The Fruited Plain.  We invite speakers who can enlighten us on current issues, and then we have conversations about the issues.  Our October meeting was on Halloween so we were invited to dress up.  The speaker who is our friend, Ruth, dressed up and so did Bob and I.  No one else really did, but they said they all appreciated that we did.  I'm Miss Piggy, Ruth is Super"woman", and Bob is a clown.  It was fun to dress up.  The discussion topic was "Raising the Minimum Wage."  We were presented with the pros and the cons.  It seems the inflation rate has gone way beyond the rate of increase of the minimum wage.  In my opinion, it seems it may be time to make things more equal for a lot of employees by raising the minimum wage. 

Hope everyone had fun on Halloween this year.  We did.
