Many thanks to the cute little lady that paid my bill at the Dollar Store Friday evening the 12th of May. It has been passed on already.

Welcomed by Batavia

I moved to Batavia just about a year and a half ago, but it did not take me long to fall in love with this place. As I lived most of my life in the Northtowns, this area has been such a breath of fresh air. I have the pleasure of working in customer service, and the vast majority of people I interact with are kind and decent people. The small businesses around here are supported and mostly thriving, the neighborhoods are mostly clean, the parks are many, charming, and also well-kept. All of the people I have personally met in this school district and even municipal system are at worst decent, if not warm and helpful.

Gratitude for all of my wonderful neighbors and those who contribute to the abundance of joy there is to be found here in Batavia. I’m glad to have made it my home.

Small Vent

Although the intent is great, some people don’t understand Memorial Day. It’s to acknowledge and remember those who DIED for our country. Veterans have their own day of recognition. One thing most don’t realize is that Active Duty military are not Veterans. After they’re off active duty, unless dishonorably discharged, they’re Veterans.

No loud muffler law in [local town]

I live in [local town] and have 2 neighbors with loud mufflers. I have called the police 3 times but we have no law about loud mufflers. They come and go at all hours and run their car right under my bedroom window. I have asked them to fix their car but no luck. I’m tired of getting woken up and so is my better half. Had to vent… mufflered out.

Really?

What’s wrong with this: a pickup truck passing cars driving 65 in a 55 zone. The tailgate is down. The bed loaded with multiple rakes, gardening equipment, tree branches and a gas can. Nothing tied down. I would put money down that if anything bad happened after hitting a pot hole or bump, the driver would continue on like nothing happened. Where has intelligence gone?
