Dog park won't

save Downtown

They think they're real good at somethin' puttin' a dog park downtown. There's gonna be lots of activities. If they don't get some businesses downtown they ain't never gonna revitalize it regardless of what they do!

Seniors thank

1st Church of God

Yes, uh, I would like to give a belated thank you to the First Church of God for the festival they had for the seniors. We enjoyed it and I'm sure everybody else did too. I know they worked hard at it.

NFL players are

overpaid jerks

Yes, I have an idea for those overgrown, overpaid NFL "men", they claim to be men, they're not men, they're overpaid jerks! Maybe they should spend a couple years in the Army, the Navy, the Marines. Then come back and see how it feels to have someone, um, to stomp on what brought them their freedom to be overpaid and make millions of dollars while other people have died and suffered. I think they're all big jock jerks! Jerks! They don't have an idea and until our schools start teaching our history again instead of tearing statues down and all that other crap they do. No wonder these kids don't have any respect for anybody or anything. Not even themselves. If I was men and women that has served in the service I wouldn't watch a game. I wouldn't pay money to show them and pay big bucks to watch them play something that I had friends that died for and I've fought for. Spoiled brats! Turn 'em off! Shut 'em off the TV!

Animal welfare

raffling crossbow?

I was just wondering if anyone else thought it was odd that the annual fundraiser for the Animal Welfare Alliance is raffling off a crossbow, which is designed to kill animals!? I'm just sayin'.

Signs no good

unless enforced

Yes, please print this. The sign of no bicycles or skateboards in the elderly apartments isn't doing any good if they don't enforce them. We, we see bicycles ten times a day.
