RAVES

Thank You

A big thank you to the person who removed the top of the tree that fell across my driveway. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness (as well as your strength).

One reader’s take on the garbage plate discussion

I had to try that fish stick substitution at my local plate joint. Not only did they do it and do it well, but my plate guy offered me tuna salad instead of mac salad! I was hesitant at first because mac salad is my favorite part, but the tuna and capers with extra mayo were a perfect complement to the plate. It added a fresh bite, a nice foil to the richer meat sauce and raw onion. Dig in with a celery stick instead of a spoon for added deliciousness and health!

Calling the Cops!

My sincere and heartfelt thanks to the fellow sufferers at the Mobil Car Wash in Lakeville on February 8, 2023 from 3:15-3:30 who witnessed a confrontation between Generation Z and a 60s person. During a dirty car day I had a 20 minute wait in line. Once it was my turn a large black truck came at me from the EXIT and tried to play chicken. We were now inches apart, but I kept driving forward to pay. Then the dude exited his truck while screaming that I had cheated (cheated a cheater?), and if I hit him he would sue me. It got even brighter when, upon exiting the tunnel, I saw a Livingston County Sheriff parked right by the door. Somebody had called the cops! Other people saw what was going on, and they didn’t like it. My faith in humanity and common purpose soared. I know it’s only a car wash, but we are all on this earth together and equal. Selfish jerks who cut the line anyplace are not really winning anything but our collective contempt—and sometimes vigilance.

Tailgaters

I’m fed up with tailgaters. No matter how fast or slow or time of day there’s always an idiot who tailgates. With deer and other animals out, it’s plain stupid to drive close. Even in daylight some won’t pass or back off and give space. Maybe your eyesight is poor and you need to follow close, sort of like a guide dog. Maybe you’re in a hurry to get somewhere and safety doesn’t matter. Consider the car in front of you who’s worried if they do have to stop or turn you’ll rear end them. Front and rear dash cameras can be used in court. Remember that next time you tailgate.

"Mind My Own Business?" Yeah, you should

To the person who wrote in condemning 'obese' people for costing you more in health insurance, shame on you. There is NO proof that being in a larger body causes poorer health. There IS a correlation between those two things and that is likely due to poor medical care and trauma caused by incessant weight stigma (by people like you). 95% of people who lose weight on diets gain it all back within 2-5 years. Intentional weight loss is not sustainable. So, keep your non-evidence based and oppressive opinions to yourself.

Sore Eye in Your Town

I traveled through town on a nice Sunday in February, looking at the old buildings on Main Street. I admired the old historical building on Main Street and looked across the driveway when something caught my eye: a pickup loaded with trash, along with trash and debris on the side of the house and back. What a disappointment. I proceeded to turn south. While admiring another building, what caught my eye were saws, trailers, wood; you name it, it was there.

Your town is very old. Why don't main drag streets keep clean? Where's the code office? Do they have one? It has been a long time since we came through this town. We really wanted to see the old buildings, but this was a sore eye maker.
