THIS IS A BIG RAVE for Martha Stewart from the Augusta Care office. She is simply the best and she really, really cares about Augusta. May God bless her.

A RANT TO ALL the people who think gasoline is an entitlement. If you don't like the price of any product, don't buy it. We all should be lucky that we're not paying $10 a gallon.

TO THE NICE gentleman who paid for my lunch June 8 at Ruby Tuesday in North Augusta, thank you.

COACH JIMMY LEWIS does a great job and he does the best he can with what he has to work with.

PAUL BROUN, it is totally hypocritical for you to tell your supporters that you wouldn't run a negative campaign and that Barry Fleming is calling you all sorts of names, then five minutes later turn around and call him the forces of evil.

WHAT? NO GOLF without Tiger Woods? I'm sure the world will survive.

COLUMBIA COUNTY, in spite of your education and your wealth, you are no better than the rest of the CSRA when it comes to treatment of animals.

I'M TIRED OF PUTTING all these applications in and I'm the best cook there is and they won't hire me, but you see signs everywhere saying they're hiring.

I WANT TO RAVE to my next door neighbor who brings in my paper and also the mail every morning rain or shine.

SO, MR. HARBIN'S DUI case is delayed for the fifth time in search of a witness. That's to laugh about. The time I got a DUI the only witness needed was a police officer.

I'D LIKE TO RAVE about Rosemary at the Columbia County Sheriff's Office. She was very friendly, and did a great job in setting us up for the Health Watch program. Keep up the great work and thank you.

COLUMBIA COUNTY animal control, please patrol Lavista Drive during the daytime and the nighttime. It is impossible to sleep out here.

A RAVE FOR THE LADY who put out the rave for Magic Carpet Clean. Because of her, these guys came out and cleaned my carpet, and they are the best.
