Hooray for Charlie Brown. You finally got the smoking bill passed, effective July 1. Charlie, you are the greatest man I know.

If you love Garrett’s popcorn in Chicago, a little place opened in Hobart, right on 3rd Street on Lake George, that rivals Garrett’s. It’s called What’s Poppin’. You will not be disappointed.

There is a regular contributor to Quickly who should be a comedian. I really enjoy the quick-witted responses to some of the comments. We all need more humor in our lives.

Has anyone bothered to read Gary native Veronica Faye’s murder-mystery “Gemini Jones — My Past Came Knocking”? It takes place in Gary and it really is good. Two very strong African-American women are at the center of the mystery. I think you will love Gemini Jones.

To the lady who almost hit my car with hers at the Schererville Walmart, please try to drive safer. I know text messages seem important, but I think my life and my wife’s are more important.

Salespeople,I do not want to hear your political views. I’ll choose to take my business elsewhere.

Sometimes, the best advice is simple — be nice!

Quickly, on July 4, my mother, Velma, will be 80 years young. She always reads your column, so it would make her day if you would tell her “happy birthday.” Thank you, Quickly!

Does the Miller Brewing Co. really think it just invented putting two holes in the top of a beer can? We were doing that years ago with our church key can openers. One hole on one side, one on the other. What goes around, comes around.
