SLUGS: To everyone involved in the logging above Nelson. Ugly clear cuts, ugly thinning, ugly forests. Our beautiful valley is getting ruined by clear cuts.
SLUGS: To the City of Nelson for not doing more to promote official Trash to Treasure Days at least twice a year. Maybe it would prevent folks from always putting free stuff on the streets everywhere, sometimes not even their own street!
HUGS: To the wonderful woman who accidentally backed into my motorbike, left a kind note, and promptly paid for it to be fixed. So happy to live in the same community as people like that!
HUGS: To all the kind pedestrians and drivers on Baker and Josephine for assisting us in rounding up our runaway puppy. She narrowly escaped being run over. We are so grateful to the angels on foot and behind the wheel for their collective efforts.
SLUGS: To myself for failing to stop on my bike near Selkirk’s Mary Hall on April 14. Sorry to woman in white car.
SLUGS: To the new bocce courts at Lakeside Park. The space should have been dedicated for something that is actually needed, like pickleball.
HUGS: To the woman who stood in the middle of Front Street today to redirect traffic around a huge pot hole that just opened up and could have damaged a car or caused an accident.
SLUGS: To smokers who toss their cigarette butt onto the streets and sidewalks. Particularly I saw someone at Home Hardware smoking out the back entrance and just toss the cigarette in the lane when he was done. I wonder after a week or so of this fella smoking how many cigarette butts lay out in that lane. Come on, pick up your lazy butts.
