• It has been so nice having The Salvation Army people sing and play the trumpet as they ring the bells. Loved it.

• I wonder if the people driving around with the tacky wreaths on the front of their cars are the same ones who slump over their carts in Wal-Mart and the grocery stores. They probably have tattoos also, maybe lights on their Christmas trees.

• It appears that the commissioners along with the ACCAB have devised a method to increase our tax base in Griffin and Spalding County. A tax on our “pets,” right now it is applied on dogs. Perhaps in the near future it will be expanded to cats, rabbits, horses and other animals. This is a political scheme by the ACCAB to require more spayed and neutered animals.

• What is with all these people advertising on television telling us that they are morons?

• My Two Cents has given me inspiration on new ways to annoy nitwits. I now slump over my shopping cart at Wal-Mart with my shorts showing, buy Scotch on Sunday, and put my cruise control on 55 mph while in the left lane in my pickup with the wreath on its grill. If my wife will let me, I’m going to get something obnoxious tattooed on my forehead. Keep the ideas coming.

• I really enjoyed the Gift of Lights at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. It was nice to have something like that close to home.

• Life is good.

• To the writers who seem so offended by actors portraying members of the opposite sex, I would like to bring it to your attention that in Shakespearean theater centuries ago men took the role of women in plays because women were not allowed to act. Also, I’ve never heard of anyone complaining about comedian Jonathan Winters dressing as a woman.

• If the city of Griffin takes the highest bid submitted for AV equipment for the park, why bother to put it out for bids in the first place? Oh, yeah, it’s taxpayers’ money they are spending, not their own.

• I cannot believe that the county commissioners want to establish a pet tax. This is another example of Big Brother government being out of control. Next, they will order all of us to have microchips implanted in our foreheads, so that they know where we are and what we are doing.
