GOD BLESS THE U.S. Coast Guard.

THIS IS A RANT to the thief who stole the 5-gallon container of gas at the end of the driveway on Wood Valley Road. It's trash like you that's convinced me to get a gun permit. Get a job and then you can buy your own gas.

THIS IS A RANT to the gas stations that are selling gas that has water in it. You should be fined because it is messing up some people's cars. It should be mandatory to check for water in gas every year.

TO THE PERSON telling Columbia County residents to stay in their own county, we will. All of the businesses worth anything are moving to Columbia County, so yes, we will stay here and spend here.
