Backtalk 11/01/2007

LOVING LOWELL: I hope the Sox keep Mike Lowell. He is such a solid player. They can always count on him. It would be wrong to pick a prima donna like A-Rod over Lowell.

Wilmington

FABULOUS: Hooray for the Red Sox! What a great team. They deserved to win the World Series. Let's do it again next year.

Tewksbury

EXTRA BURDEN: Why do we have to pay for special elections because our elected politicians leave before their term has expired to take other jobs? They should have to reimburse the cities and towns for the cost of these elections, and not be an extra burden on the taxpayers.

Billerica

LOCATION: New Orleans is flooded -- again. Southern California is burning -- again. As long as people continue to live in places they have no business being, we will always have these human disasters. We can do nothing to prevent nature's wrath, but we can be smarter about where we live.

Dracut

BE POLITE: Why is it that so many people have bad manners today? It is so disappointing. No one bothers to say please or thank you or even return a phone call.
Pelham, N.H.

GREETINGS: I don't care what people say, I'm going to say what I've been saying for the past 48 years -- Happy New Year, Happy Valentine's Day, Happy St. Patrick's Day, Happy Easter, Happy Memorial Day, Happy Fourth of July, Happy Labor Day, Happy Halloween, Happy Thanksgiving and last but not least, Have a Merry Christmas!

Tyngsboro

TOO AGGRESSIVE: I am extremely upset and disgusted with the "speed trap" set up several times weekly at the Hunt Falls Bridge Rotary on Route 110 East. I think this officer needs to get a life. He has actually taken the idea of a speed trap from an annoyance and "revenue enhancement" all the way to obnoxious harassment. He needs reassignment.

Dracut

SLOW DOWN: I wish motorists would slow down on our roadways. Is what you have to do so important you can risk hurting someone?

Hudson, N.H.

SPEAK CLEARLY: Has anyone noticed that many of the new movies have dialogue you cannot understand? Most of the actors mumble or slur their words.

Lowell

NICE WRITING: Whoever is writing the copy for the obituaries these days -- it's lovely, just lovely.
