Dear So and So

Dear Marissa at Serfas,

I can't believe how awesome you are. First you entertained my ridiculous request to see if you guys have a long defunct pair of Force 5 sunglasses in clear blue with rose lenses. Then when you didn't find it in the computer, you literally went into the warehouse and dug through boxes of sunglasses until you found a pair. And then you called me back and offered them to me for a 50% discount.

I broke my pair of clear blue Force 5's in a car accident in 2006 and my second pair didn't have the rose lenses but I broke those in 2008 somehow. I guess I just didn't love them as much without the rose lenses. My day is MADE. You are the best. Now I can ride across the USA in some rocking brilliant blue sunglasses, and see properly on cloudy days! THANK YOU. I will send a letter to the company to tell them how awesome you are.

Thanks.

Dear fellow local citizens,

I'm disappointed in all of us. The sample ballot for next week's primary was in the paper today, and, thanks to our closed primaries, there's no reason to show up. Only 2 things will appear on my ballot: I can choose between Pres. Obama and "uncommitted," and between my beloved state senator and a candidate who has withdrawn from the race (and so votes for him will not be counted). That's it. Everyone else, down to city council, is running unapposed. We can do better than this.

I think the sec. of state's prediction of 10% statewide turnout is optimistic... What a way to run a democracy.

[Pax]

skhill, that is just sad isn't it? Although I can see why no one wants to run, I was asked to run for city council about ten years ago, I told them no way in hell. I wasn't about to have my entire life made public in the local press.

Smoking does that no favors. School starts next week, get your act together. Now.

Alexis, let us know how cutting smoking goes for you. Sooner to banish, the better. It gets harder 10, 20, 30 years later in life.

Shootingstar, it's actually not too bad, I'm mostly a social/situational smoker, so I only smoke when things get highly stressful. I've been able to quit cold turkey with no problems. This time, though, my body is giving me the extra kick to quit by becoming extremely irritated with cigarette smoke.

Dearest Uncle!

You must be excited to see me racing after all those years we watched you climb through the categories. The fact that you decided to gift me your Louis Garneau Gennix R1 frame to build up is evidence enough. This saves me... welp... let's just say the price of the frame alone exceeds what I expected to spend on a complete bike. I shall enjoy giving it life again

WOW!

Dear body:
Core work. Got it.

Dear apartment managers,

Raising the rent by $250/mo? Really?! And not including parking? Much as I hate to move, I think you'll have a vacant apartment soon.
