IT SEEMS LIKE a good idea to put advertising on the sides, and insides, of our buses. It has been done for many years in other cities.

WOW, THE CHRONICLE really laid it all out for us about the gang activity in our fair city.

FOUR ADULTS, TWO infants, late appetizers and spilled tea all added up to an automatic 15 percent gratuity at a Belair Road restaurant. Regardless of the policy on parties of six or greater, that is wrong.

A STRONG RAVE for the judge who had the courage to give long sentences to three convicted men. There's little worse than taking the property of another.

OK, COMCAST, you lured me into your triple play for a year, but not again. The TV reception is terrible, and the sound continually goes off. But I guess you get what you pay for.

THIS IS A RANT to the OB nurses at Doctors Hospital. A new mother asked for assistance with breast feeding, and you never came to help her. Consequently, she is bottle feeding. What a shame.

TEACHERS JUST THINK it is their right to have their child at the school where they teach. The cheating that happened in Columbia County is happening in Richmond County too.

THE GRIEF OVER LOSING the $68 windfall I would have gotten from the property tax rebate Gov. Sonny Perdue vetoed was short-lived. However, the grief over his comments about war critics was not.

THIS IS A RANT to the young man driving the silver Saturn Saturday morning. I would just like to know why you cut in front of me at the red light.

IF YOU WANTED to know more about the PTO at the kindergarten orientation, why didn't you ask when she asked if anyone had any questions?

FEMA NEEDS TO DO more to assist the tornado "refugees" in Kansas.

A RANT TO SOME local TV preachers: Why all the screaming and yelling all the time? Some folks get enough of that at home. No thanks.

THE BASEBALL STADIUM downtown is a great idea. The only problem, no parking, but that can be fixed by using the Golf and Gardens. No one goes there anyway.

A RANT FOR The Augusta Chronicle for not posting my rant about Sconyers for still flying the old Georgia state flag. Taking care of your own?
