Backtalk 10/31/2007

GOOD TIME: I want to thank "Lowell Unleashed" for organizing Wagapalooza on Sunday, Oct. 28. It was nice to get together with other people who enjoy their dogs. My dog really enjoyed it, too. A dog park in Lowell is what we have needed for a long time.

Lowell

TOO MUCH SPORTS: Many of us are fed up with the excess time given to sports on television. About 15 minutes out of every hour, we get some news and most of it is a rerun of previous sports reports. Keep television fair and for all of us, not just the sports lovers.

Groton

BETTER TIMING: They need to fix the lights on Lakeview Avenue in Dracut. Trying to get onto the avenue near Phineas Street, I waited seven minutes for my light to change with no cars coming in either direction.

Dracut

DROOPY DRAWERS: There has been talk about making a law against wearing your pants very low, with your underwear showing. Listen: If these guys want to walk around looking like circus clowns, let them. They obviously think they look "cool!" I just laugh.
Lowell

LIGHT IT UP: I'm glad the Riverwalk lights are turned on. It looks nice and it's safer, too. Whomever is responsible for that did a great job.

Lowell

TRAGIC LOSS: It's so sad that Theresa Frye has lost her young son in such horrible way, She has been my kids' school nurse since they started school and is such a nice person.

Lowell

DANGEROUS: I'm not surprised about the man who got hit by a car in Dracut. Our kids have to get on the bus at 6:45 a.m. in the dark and cold. They should not be starting school so early.

Dracut

OVERBLOWN A-ROD: Once again, the news media and sports announcers blow the whole aspect of a glory moment for the Red Sox. You mean to tell me that selfish A-Rod news was more important than the Red Sox in Game 4 of the World Series -- that what he wants could not have waited a day to talk about? A kid who battled cancer and overcame all odds and most media focuses on A-Rod. Sad.

Tewksbury

NO CREDIT: I will do everything possible to steer my child away from public service. They are undervalued, underpaid, and criticized for being as human as the rest of us. Go for-profit, and leave the selfless work for someone else's child.
