Onions to …
• the gym owner who fired the facility’s best trainer right before Thanksgiving.
• people who don’t understand bicyclists are not allowed on the sidewalk in the downtown district.
• the person who sent Onions to anyone who voted for Obama; perhaps you’d be better served by sending Onions to those who don’t vote at all which is the real problem.
• all drivers who do not turn on their vehicle’s lights during heavy fog just because it is daylight; your headlights are for other drivers to see you.
• homeowners who should realize that when it comes to outdoor Christmas light displays that sometimes less is more.
• the school district for its hiring process.
• the nurse in the doctors office who lied to the doctor about what I said and canceled my prescription.
