  • Use your turn signal in life

    A couple of weeks ago my son earned a “uniform citation” for failing to use his turn signal.
    At the time I thought how trivial and wondered why such a citation was necessary.
    I’m sure there’s a life lesson in there somewhere... much like the “always use sunscreen” lyrics from the late 1990s that was delivered as a graduation speech and later became the basis for a song.

  • Informed voting

    To the editor:
    Now that we know what “marriage” is, we can place this into the same context as what we must eat! Let’s see what’s next. I know we’ve been told wat kind of car we must buy, but let’s go a little further. What sporting event must we go to? Maybe we should eliminate opera, classical music and just listen to jazz!
    Christian values are almost ancient history, let’s forget who we are and live whatever way we want to! Can you imagine the slippery road we are going down? Come on people! Wake up!
