sculptures when three curious girls showed up to ask what I was doing. In about two seconds we were all making funny rock faces together. Good to see kids interacting with people, being creative and exercising!
remove your ad or maybe just have the courtesy to reply. Especially you Adam. Thanks
Cyclists You guys are the ones who came up with the slogan “same road, same rules,” but you don’t follow any of the rules! You run red lights, in traffic you cut people off, you go 15 miles UNDER the speed limit in the MIDDLE of the road. This is illegal as it’s just as dangerous to go too slow as it is to speed. A car doing this would be pulled over. On the road, cars are seen with bumper stickers that say “same road, same rules” and feature an image of a bicycle. It’s irritating. Why are you even in a car if you love your bicycle that much? “Same road, same rules” is a stupid slogan anyway. Can you take your bicycle on I-90 and go 70 mph? No you can’t, it’s impossible. The slogan never should have been created. Cyclists, abide by the rules of the road or get out of my way!
Jeers My Newspaper Starbucks, Wednesday am: You left me a note on my windshield. “How rude to steal the center out of the paper.” First, it is my newspaper; I paid for it. Second, I take one page and leave all the rest for others to read. To add injury to insult, you left the note on my windshield and I didn’t see it until I was on the street so I had to make an extra stop to get it. This reminds me of another instance in a coffee shop in Pullman. I bought a newspaper, read it, folded it and put it on my table while I finished eating. Someone glared at me, snatched it off the table and sat down with it without one word, evidently thinking it was a copy meant for the public. So, please don’t presume you know what is happening and leave anonymous rude notes. Please speak directly to a person if you have a problem instead of doing it anonymously. And most importantly, an apology would be nice. I am well aware that you probably won’t ever see this, and I don’t know who you are, but maybe someone can pass the word on. Two of us had a more unpleasant day than we could have had and I am sorry about that. Thank you. Parking Meters The city of Spokane is installing parking meters east of Bernard and south of Third Ave. They claim it is in response to merchants complaining about the high school students monopolizing street space meant for their patrons. I will now be paying the city over $1,000 a year for parking. Most employers provide space for their patrons and relegate their employees to street parking. Lucky for me I can walk to work and leave the meters unused. Craigslist Posters I’m beginning to wonder if there isn’t something fundamentally wrong with some of the local posters on Craigslist. Over the past couple weeks I have tried repeatedly to contact several people with items for sale in the Spokane area. None of them have replied. What is wrong with you? Why can’t you simply reply one way or the other? I’ve sold several items myself and replying isn’t that hard to do. If you’ve sold the item
Dawn on the Planet of Parents To the parents who brought their preschool children to the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes movie at the Garland theater on a Friday night: I heard one of your children crying in within the first 20 minutes of this violent, entertaining-for-adultsbut-disturbing-for-children movie. Parents, please, I know you love and care about your children, but when did we start deciding that subjecting our children to violence on a big screen is a fun and healthy activity? Children cannot protect themselves from images - these images are very strong and can disturb a child’s inner world. Yes, children have inner worlds, and you are influencing their inner worlds (the seeds for who they will become as adults) by what you choose to expose them to. Personally, I don’t want my 3, 4, 5, 6, or even 10 year old child to go to sleep with images of large man-like apes killing each other violently. Please, choose wisely parents, your children are vulnerable and they count on you to protect them. Khama Really? It’s any persons legal right to remove trees off their own property as they want too. The home owner wanted a 4 car garage. What consideration does he owe you? Put up your trees and shrubs and fence. It’s not your neighbors responsibility to beautify your view. It’s yours. The person being inconsiderate is you! You’re the one who should watch out for Khama. SMH! Jeers Every one of the Jeers, except “Tree Killers” in the September 25th Inlander, boils down to the “Consideration of Others” and “Entitlement” to “Do Whatever I Want” and “Who Cares About Others.” That is what society has become, like a ill-mannered brat! Try being considerate all of the time and see what happens, maybe it will spread!? “Tree Killers”, yes it is sad and it is their property, so they have the right to remove the trees, just as you have the right to plant trees to make up the difference.
RE: Jeers To Pedestrians REALLY this can not be a real jeer? Is there someone out there that stupid and insensitive to believe that people should not be in the crosswalks. If so, this person needs to be put down saying people walking don’t seem to get it. Wow what a bone head (if this is real). He doesn’t care if you’re walking, I wish I knew who you were soon as you got out of your car to walk, I would hit you with mine since you don’t care. Just cause you have a car does not make you important and if you think you’re important because you have one, wow! Again I keep thinking this has to be a joke, nobody could be that *#&^%@&& stupid. I don’t wish bad things on people, but this guy is a deserver of something awful ........is this a joke are we getting punked? Northside Stuff Tosser To the guys in the loud Honda-like car that threw something at me while I was walking down Lincoln Rd on 09/29, I want to congratulate you on your aim. You hit me right on the shoulder. You also threw a quarter at my cycling husband on 09/28 near Friendship Park. It nailed him right in the forehead. My husband wants to return your quarter. I’d love to meet up sometime and show you guys my pepper spray. Sincerely, The pink haired girl.
Concerned Citizen Jeers to those that are running a shameless RE: Pedestrians That “walk” signal campaign against the homeless. is there so pedestrians can walk Instead of demonizing them, we across the streets. If you have to should realize that they are human sit and wait in your dumb ass car, beings, like you and me, who are then tough s*&%. The signal reads down on their luck and need help. Worrying about whether they WALK!!!!! Not DRIVE idiot!!!!! spend their money on booze or a nutritious meal is irrelevant; once you give them money, it is theirs to spend however they choose to. If they want to spend it on beer, shouldn’t they have the right to do that; wouldn’t you, if you lived on the streets and this was the only small luxury you could have? If you don’t don’t want to give money to panhandlers, don’t, but don’t ’S THIS WEEK! discourage others from helping their fellow brothers and sisters. ANSWERS RE: Pedestrians You’re totally right. Those people don’t pay taxes on their shoes like we do on our cars, and they have NO RIGHT to be out on the roads that WE pay for.
