dump because the county does not provide the services. We don’t bring the big loads in, just what we have to to keep our homes sanitary. So, when you government employee dregs get your massive pay raises after you already make $15+ per hour plus luxury perks on the taxpayers, know that it is on the backs of us with fixed incomes! Shame on you! Grrrrrrr

dangerous game of chicken with so many Spokane drivers who don’t understand basic, right-of-way rules. When driving on a narrow street, like 25th Avenue, and another car is approaching from the opposite direction, here’s the basic rule of thumb: if there’s a car parked at the curb on your right, forcing you to pull to the left and pass the car before pulling back to the right, if you can’t do that safely and force the oncoming driver to slow down or stop, then you don’t have the right of way. How obvious is this? Don’t insist that you do and try to muscle past the obstacle before the oncoming car reaches you. It’s unbelievable how many stupid drivers insist that they’re right and accelerate. It’s just like driving on a country road or highway: If you’re trying to pass a car ahead of you, with oncoming traffic approaching from the other direction, if you can’t do it safely then don’t even try. Get it?

pond when it’s hot. My mom says it makes me stinky, but I think it smells yummy, and there’s this funky green stuff that gets stuck on me sometimes, it makes me a weird color, but then she makes me have a bath! Maybe I will see you at the park one day and you will see how happy I am to be with my mom during the day. Sincerely, Mugs

Inconsiderate & Lazy People It’s ridiculous just how lazy some people have become these days. Would it seriously hurt you to park in a non-handicap parking space if you are capable of walking and don’t have any health restrictions that require such? I fully understand that some people who do not require a walking aide (aka: cane, crutches, walker) may need to park closer due to legitimate health reasons. However, it has become ridiculous the number of people who use a handicap parking space that have no health problem other than being inconsiderate and lazy. I myself require crutches to walk at all times for the past five plus years. There are times that I pass on using a handicap parking space if I notice someone that could benefit from using the handicap parking space more than me, such as the elderly who struggle with walking or someone using a wheelchair or scooter. All to often I witness people using handicap parking spaces that have no issues with getting in or out of their vehicle, and walk or run into and out of the store. Seriously people, if you have no business using a handicap parking space then don’t. Chances are you are taking a handicap parking space from someone who legitimately needs the parking space. To those who are guilty of this, quit being inconsiderate and lazy. Re: Boo Idaho If you don’t like our state or the way we do things, just stay the heck out Failure To Yield I am so tired of playing this ridiculous and

Get A Clue My mom takes me to work with her a couple of days during the week. She works long days sometimes, so I don’t get to see her at home very much those days. I sleep in the car, on my big soft cushy cave bed she made from her blankies (and it has a heated pad, too, so I stay really snuggly warm if it’s chilly at all!). I have a big bowl of food and a dish of fresh water and all of my stuffed animals and my chew toys. She wakes me up from my nap to go potty. Then in the middle of the day, we go to the park and I get to run around and play with my mom and visit with the people at the park, and sometimes some of them give me cookies! They don’t even know me - can you believe it! I only get the cookies if my mom says it’s okay though. Then after we play, she drives back to her work, and I snuggle down in my bed for another nap. I like being able to see my mom through out the day, it’s sure better than being stuck at home all by myself. Of course, during the summer time I stay home where I play in the

’S THIS WEEK! S R E W S AN

Customer Service My husband, who is 84 years old and a veteran, has patronized a donut shop since the first week it opened for business. With the exceptions of not being in town, my husband has been there everyday at opening time. He walks, regardless of the weather. When he was still working that’s where his day began. This donut shop was a big part of his life and was truly the heart of the neighbhorhood. Two of our daughters worked there, in fact. About 4 years ago the business changed hands, my husband knew there’d be changes, price increases, menu changes, but he cheerfully continued to go every morning and enjoy his coffee, donut and newspaper. I’ve done some quick math. With the very conservative estimate of $2.00 average per day spent in this establishment over forty-five years, I have come up with a very rough estimate that my husband has spent well over $25,000 in this business. One Saturday morning, several weeks ago there was an unusally long line of customers at the counter when my husband went to pay his bill. He says he probably would have had as much as a 25 minute wait. He didn’t have exact change so he told the cashier he’d catch up with them the next business day. He was told, curtly, to get in line and wait his turn. As it happened, he really didn’t have 25 minutes to wait so he again said he’d pay next time and headed out the door. He was chased down by the new owner who gave him what can only be described as a lecture. Old habits die hard, as we all know and the change to my husband’s morning activities has been a difficult adjustment. We should all remember that when the new owners bought the business they weren’t just buying a deep fryer and a name. They were buying the goodwill generated by over 40 years of courtesy and good customer service. They have a legacy to keep alive, I’m afraid they’ve failed miserably.
