More interested in test scores

A school district administrator here said we need to put turf on the football fields so we can compete better with Kansas City-area schools. I’m more interested in test scores and what to do about that.

Getting outrageous

My dog and I were just about run over by an electric bike on the Parkway system, the walking and biking trail, that was set very high by probably a 16-year-old girl. Twice. I mean, once she almost ran into us, the other time, she just scared the dog. This is getting outrageous. There’s just getting to be too many motorized vehicles on the walkways and bikeways. It seems to me that those people who do anything motorized should be on the streets.

Please

return it

When my daughter was born, my dad took a cart, a cast iron boiler and sewing machine parts and made me a flowerpot that resembled a baby buggy. I’ve had it for over 50 years and it meant so much that he had made it for me. Anyway, someone took it out of my backyard, and I’d give anything to get it back. I had planned to pass it on to my daughter.

The only stooge

The only stooge in this campaign for president is Donald J. Trump. No other former president has acted so childish. This country does not need a person in the White House with this kind of behavior with everything going on in the country today. We need a grown-up in the White House who has maturity, honesty, values and believes in democracy and has no baggage behind him.

No one is perfect

I’d just like to remind everybody that as humans, we are all flawed. We all have flaws. No one is perfect. The thing is, we can work to better ourselves. Not just for ourselves, but for our neighbors, for our families, for our friends, you know, and maybe if we do that and work towards that, then they will pick up the torch and try to better themselves for everyone else.
