Letters from our readers: A mayor's role; aiding planetary health through; mirrors, headlights and 'peanut' cars.
Really, it just means ‘a lot of rain’ Reading the recent story about the big rainstorm, I saw the dreaded term “atmospheric river.” Whatever happened to the term “Pineapple Express”?
A building lot in my old neighbourhood was clearcut, a dozen mature trees slashed to the ground, the yard paved over. This is often standard practice.But the key to the recent article on Helps’s retirement was the lament from the developers’ lobby about losing an ally. They are major contributors to heart disease, several cancers, stroke, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. Whole food plant-based diets are healthy and disease protective.
Subjecting animals to these horrific conditions and such suffering is hardly the act of a humane society. Our society has been accused of “species-ism,” as we would not allow our cats and dogs to be treated this way. If people driving the peanut car and having issues with headlights burning their retinas would learn how to adjust their mirrors, it wouldn’t be an issue, and I guess less people would be punched on the road.Those parked cars help to calm traffic I’m one of the folks who live on St. Charles Street. We’ve put up with traffic for 35 years.
After much agonizing, I thought going out as a pirate would be a pretty safe bet. I’d incorporate all the clichés: the ragged clothes, a black eye patch, a wooden leg and matching crutch, a dagger clenched between the teeth, and the obligatory parrot on the shoulder. I would be the envy of every kid on the block.
