Wrong Mountain
You have no doubt heard from many readers that the correct answer to question 1 (c) in the Nov. 18 edition of “Trivia Cafe” is FALSE because the premise is incorrect.
California’s highest mountain is Mt. Whitney, not Mt. McKinley. Mt. McKinley is in Alaska and is now officially called Denali.

RE: “Sorry Siri” by Rita S. Losch (Open Mic, Nov. 18) I can’t stop laughing. And you wonder why I don’t follow Siri driving directions? LOL!

Why Hawaii
State Sen. Bill Dodd on Thursday, Nov. 19, defended his participation in a policy conference at a Maui beachfront luxury hotel as the coronavirus surges in California, calling it “business as usual” in his job as a lawmaker.
Last I read Hawaii was careful with mainlanders, so quarantining was not in effect? Who paid for this trip as Sen. Dodd is from a purple county? Couldn’t use Zoom, Live Meeting or GoToMeeting?
