BEEF TO THE BEEFER for complaining about the editor allowing so-called right-wing hate speech regarding rainbow crosswalks. Clearly, you hate free speech and differing opinions. Perhaps you should move to a fascist state since you seem to want to lead Canada in that direction. No, thank you.
KUDOS to Brad Reid for helping me with my blinds and other tasks over the Christmas holidays, and a big thank you to Jken Dell for the introduction. It’s so nice to know that there are still kind people out there who will help a stranger.
BEEF to the Sooke News Mirror for burying the Letters to the Editor column in obscure places instead of placing it on the Editorial feature page. The articles now in this location may be interesting, but they do not represent the opinions of Sooke residents, who need this prime location as a vehicle for expression. Shame!
BOUQUET to Isaiah who brought my mail to my door after receiving it by mistake in his mailbox. Many thanks.
BEEF to the patrons of the gas station. When the lineup is 10 cars long, how can you think it’s OK to leave your car at the pump while you go into the store? There’s plenty of parking nearby. Why isn’t consideration for others just common sense?
BOUQUET to a wonderful wife and partner who 50 years ago on New Year’s Eve said yes to my proposal. Love you very much darling.
BEEF to the dog walkers who wear dark clothing on our rainy, windy nights. Several of my friends, including myself, have had close calls when rounding corners and suddenly having to slam on the brakes to avoid jaywalkers and their pets in residential areas. Please wear reflective tape to prevent accidents and ensure your safety.
THANK YOU Island Health caregivers and case workers. Our family is so appreciative of your care for our father. You made a very difficult time easier to navigate.
