Just as good

I was in my Camry stopped behind a new Lexus. I wished I could have told the driver, “My car looks as good as yours but only cost half what yours did. Sorry.”

Stupid idea

During these tough times who in the city had the lame-brain idea to erect a granite memorial to honor city employees who had died — not in the line of duty, just died? A real stupid idea.

Gas is barbaric

Consider calling state Sen. Ed Harbison to get him to support SB232, a bill to provide humane euthanasia of animals in Georgia’s animal control facilities. Currently, animals are euthanized in gas chambers, which is barbaric.
