               DO NOT PASS GO!

   It's January 5th, 2021. It's Monopoly Day!

Who hasn't, at one time or another, been caught

up in a game of Monopoly? You may be surprised

to learn the game was the creation of a young

lady. Elizabeth Magie came up with the game

as a way to teach the economy. She called it

"The Landlord Game" and got a patent for it

on this date in 1904. Of course the game eventually

became Monopoly. It's been customized a bit 

over the years, including special versions for

communities that wished to have their own

shops included on the board. But, basically,

it's the same game that "Lizzy" came up with

all those years ago. Might be a good day to get

your version out and play a round. Just don't

get the GO TO JAIL card!!!! Hope you're well

and that all your NEWS is good!
