Griper (last issue) about speeders on Hwy. 150 from Williard Road to Oak Ridge Elementary. Amen! All the parents who didn’t buy the hype and didn’t give their kids a COVID-19 shot. Sandy and all the ladies at Sandy’s Beauty Shop. Let there be no doubt… truly, there are angels among us. The neighbor (in Summerfield) who helped us when our dogs were missing a few days before Christmas. Definitely a Christmas miracle! Words can’t express how thankful we are. Stokesdale Fire Department and firemen for giving me and my grandson a tour of the firehouse on a cold day. My grandson said he’s thinking about being a fireman (or a storm chaser). The family on Haw Meadows Drive in Oak Ridge for putting up the amazing Christmas lights display. Our family went out many times to sit and watch the lights. Thank you for taking the time to do that! The young man who runs all over Oak Ridge morning, noon and night. I admire your dedication (however, please wear reflective clothing and/or a headlamp – you are very hard to see after the sun goes down). Everyone who decorated their homes and yards for Christmas.
NCDOT. In the spirit of diversity and inclusion, why is “NC Law Prohibits Driving When Impaired” only in English on the Amber Alert signs along the interstates? Educators who believe “childhood innocence… is detrimental to children’s well-being.” It would be “better a millstone be fixed about your neck and you be cast into the sea.” You will not escape God’s judgment. Griper complaining about Greensboro Science Center’s menorah lights (Winter Wonderlights show). Jesus was Jewish, and He was brown – keep talking like that, you look like a clown. You say you love all, yet act like this. Go back home, and mind your own biz. People who run their thermostats at 80 degrees so their kids can wear shorts and T-shirts while barefoot. You’re one of the reasons for Duke Energy blackouts! Drivers exceeding posted speed limits on N.C. 150, Williard Road to Oak Ridge Elementary. I see this almost every day. I’m often tailgated, honked at and even passed within the double yellow lines. More enforcement will improve safety.
