Thank you for printing the poem Sunday July 1. It meant a lot.

A sandwich shop that makes bagels and lox with the capers and all the toppings. Yay!

The “private property,” “no trespassing” and “no soliciting” signs don’t work on these insistent door-to-door salesmen! I’m going simply nuts!

On July 4th I drove by a variety store with gas pumps . . . and noticed the price of gas had gone up 10 cents from the previous day. Six hours later, as I drove by, it had gone up another 4 cents for an increase of 14 cents in one day. We are told that there’s no price gouging in this business, so why does a screwdriver come to mind?
