Something good
Almost all letters in the paper have to do with some complaint or other negative comment about someone or something. It is very refreshing for
my wife and I to comment about a positive and refreshing experience.
Last night around 4:30 p.m. we were going to Lakeport and had a flat tire. I called AAA and since it was raining really hard and since I’m in my mid 70s, I decided to have AAA change the tire. In retrospect, next time I will just do it myself. I got an agent in Utah (at least not India) and was told help would be there in less than an hour. What a crock! It was an hour and a half before the guy (supposedly from Lakeport) showed.
The good news part of the story is that while my wife and I were sitting there along the side of the road (Hwy. 29) we had two visits from the Sheriff’s department. The first one was a Captain who did a 180 and stopped to see “if we had broken down or needed assistance.” The guy was there in the pouring rain asking if we needed help. About 20 or 30 minutes later, I saw a vehicle pull up behind us. It was another Sheriff’s Car, and the deputy came up on my wife’s window and asked if we were all right.
He was also there in the rain. Both these men were very friendly, and as far as I’m concerned, represent what a peace officer should be. I wish I could say the same about all law enforcement officers, but I can’t. While we were sitting there for the hour and a half, several times we were passed by other law enforcement personnel who must have seen a “no revenue” situation and besides, it was raining.
Kudos to LCSO!

Regarding the shooting in Carolina
I feel that was very tragic and it is time for people to come together with an open mind whether you are black, white, Latino or other nationality, we are all people working to survive together. What you have more or less, does not make you better or worse. I feel that a church is a sacred place for all people because they all believe in some type of God even if your mother has you on a flat rock you still have to admit that there was some type of act of God, otherwise you would not be here.
In the olden days if that was a black person doing that to a white church or any other type of church they would have hung him from the nearest tree. Sometimes I believe revenge is not right, on the other hand those innocent people were in church a house of God it should be safer than being in jail. If I had my say I would hang that nitwit from the nearest tree instead of feeding him, clothing him, giving him medical treatments or life for him which could be 80-85 years. The same poor people that attended that church would have to help support for pay, for his keeping that is totally unfair to the tax payers of the United States of America.
Remember in life what goes around always comes around and you will eventually get your turn.

Right with the word
I am curious as to how Betty Chirco, a Christian, reconciles her positive outlook on gay marriage (RB 7/3) with Isaiah 8:20, “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”
It appears to me that her view does not square with the Bible.
The apostle Paul predicted, “The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine.” 2 Timothy 4:3.
