Brain-deprived thief
A letter to the thief or those who insist on ripping off the Markleysburg Henry Clay Volunteer Fire Department. What are you thinking? Twice you stole the Halloween candy that was purchased for the kids. You da Man! Stealing the food bought for dinners to raise money. That’s sweet. But wait, this is the best one yet, gas, fuel and numerous tools stolen from the fire trucks, too many times to mention.
Are you stupid naturally or do you practice? What if your house was on fire? Oops, sorry you lost your house, the fire truck ran out of fuel on the way to fight the fire. Oh well. Help, help, my kid is trapped in this wrecked car that’s on fire. Uh-oh, sorry, we can’t help. You stole our equipment and tools. You are pathetic. Use the brain God gave you. Get a job or a hobby and support us, not hinder us.

With much haste
Regarding the local district justice situation, let’s see if I have this right. Our local judiciary waits until 2003 to act on information received from the 2000 Census.
They will begin implementing corrective measures in 2006, and will complete them in 2008, 2 years before the next census.
If this is the case, can someone explain to me why my wife gets upset when she asks me to do something and I answer, “In a minute, honey”?

Still celebrating Christmas?
It is that time of the year that the trees are starting to bud and the robins are focused on returning to the area for a new generation of hatchlings. What do I see, but a Christmas wreath hanging on someone’s house or lights and decorations pertaining to “Santa” if you will. I see this all over the place.
I decorate for the Easter holiday, and there are those still celebrating Christmas. How difficult can it be to get a ladder and leg strength and take down those ridiculous looking items. It wasn’t difficult putting it up and quite fun one would say.
I believe Santa would have a nervous breakdown to see such a sight on a holiday that doesn’t belong to him. I should add that the Easter bunny probably feels the same. He would probably want to put rotten eggs in someone’s Easter basket, and Santa can’t wait until this coming Christmas to put coal in their stocking by the fireplace. Not to mention not giving them a present under the tree.
There’s an old saying that when someone says, “Wait, I’ll get to it.” The response is, “Too much weight broke down the wagon.”
