There are more than 150 dog breeds listed by the AKC. When did you last hear of any other dog besides a pit bull mauling, maiming or killing someone? So yes, let’s single out a particular breed in Hobart.

I just came through the great city of Crown Point and there are signs hanging up that say “shop local.” In a town that has so many bars it’s kinda tough. I think they need to modify that to “drink local.”

Senior citizen residents in Gary public housing are not being treated fairly. The hallways are nasty, the elevators don’t always work. Help us.

I’m one of the poorest men in Gary but I don’t think it’s fair that rich people have to pay more taxes. Who needs to pay more taxes are these people who leach off of everybody else, don’t work, get food stamps, free rent and everything else. It’s not fair the rich should pay more taxes to pay for them.

Had the most amazing experience at Pesto’s restaurant in Valparaiso on Wednesday evening. A very thoughtful couple gave our waitress money to apply to our dinner bill. Thanks also to the very honest waitress. We will pass it on.
