Ball of Confusion

By Karen Kier
Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

The Temptations released the song, “A Ball of Confusion” on the Motown label in 1970.  The song was featured on their Puzzle People album and was written by the team of Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong. The song was a political statement on the chaos and disorder with the pervading times.  The lyrics are still relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic.  The lyrics, “ball of confusion, oh yeah, that’s what the world is today” can certainly be applied to the SARS-CoV-2 mutations, the spread of monkeypox, and the new cases of polio.

At 8:00 a.m. on August 17, a delicate fog adorned the landscape along old Route 30. With school starting on August 18 and temperatures dipping into the 50s at night, it's time to keep an eye out for fog delays.
