On Wednesday, the county cut the grass along the road and hit my mailbox post. The Post-Tribune was knocked out of its holder and shredded. I let my carrier know, and she replaced it a day later. Thanks a lot.

Look at them flock to the polls through all sorts of adverse conditions in Egypt. Here, we get 33 percent and they call it a massive turnout. How disgusting.

To the person who replied about the Civil War cemetery on Lake Park Avenue and U.S. 6: I would like to thank you very much because my son and I are doing a paper at school on the Civil War. They are very interesting.

Why is it the car driver’s responsibility and fault if someone on a motorcycle dies? Of all the motorcyclists I see, maybe 5 percent are wearing helmets. They swerve into cars, tailgate and go way to fast. If they don’t care about their safety, why should I?

The state 911 funding is almost nothing compared to the cost of the mandate. Let them keep that pittance. Refuse the mandate.

You people who showed up with lawn chairs and your children to watch the hostage crisis in Valparaiso are beyond dumb. A stray bullet could easily have killed you or one of your children. Don’t you have a brain? Police need to arrest these people for child endangerment.

I halfway agree with the lady who stole the neighbor’s dog because it was chained outside and neglected. Lady, if it should happen again, call animal control. No pet deserves to be chained to a shed, tree or anything else.
