Positive Start
Thank you to the kind soul who left a note on my car in the Gelson’s parking lot on the morning of New Year’s Eve. You noticed that my tires were dangerously worn and took the time to write a thoughtful note. When I took the car in I was told that you may have saved my son’s and my life, as my tires were indeed unsafe. I now have four new tires. You gave me a positive start to 2018, and I will pay it forward.
Workers
Caruso’s workers were supposed to park at the foot of Potrero Canyon and then take a van to the site. However, many workers park in the Alphabet Streets, leaving no space for residents, friends, shoppers, local employees, etc. Imagine what will happen with 400 workers!!!!! Caruso needs to keep his word and bus in his workers from Potrero.
(Editor’s note: Caruso says they have employed additional security guards to ensure that construction workers park in the structure and not on the streets.)
Who Needs Fronds?
People have been suggesting in your paper that palms are not the trees that need protection around our town. Having found a giant ugly frond wedged onto the top of my car this morning, brought down by the rains, let us tear them all out and replace the invaders with real native trees.
John and Ken
Some 2Center was quoting KFI radio shock jocks John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou to attack Mike Bonin. You know they only get ratings by shocking people, not by being right, right? They run a “ghoul pool” predicting who in public life is going to die next. They are successful entertainers, at least if you listen to micro-pond of AM radio, but I would not buy a car from them.
Change
The subtext of so many of the 2 Cents letters seems to be “I don’t like change,” which is interesting because a few years ago I read a quote from a 115-year-old Japanese woman, who was asked for her secret to longevity and happiness. She said it was two words: “Welcome change.”
Longer Days
Do your readers know that after Jan. 7 days are getting longer at both ends—two minutes more daylight every day. That is reason enough to be happy.
