ON. NOV. 22 I was having complications with some old wounds from Vietnam and chest pains. I am disabled, and my daughter called the ambulance for me, and within five minutes they were at my house with the fire department. They did an outstanding job. Within 20 minutes I was at Eisenhower Army Hospital. They were kind, courteous and concerned about it. They did an outstanding job, as I know they do with other people too. Thank you very much, Hephzibah Fire Department and Gold Cross services. Keep up the good work.

A HUGE RAVE to Investigator Tim Tobias. Thanks for getting another menace to society off the street. This citizen supports you and appreciates her safety.

RANT TO Sarah Palin. Instead of her traveling all over the country making speeches, why isn't she home taking care of her family and knitting baby booties?

THIS IS A RAVE for the Augusta Elks Lodge, who put on a dinner for the veterans for Thanksgiving.

I SAY SARAH PALIN should run for president in 2012.

I'VE GOT AN ANSWER for the Augusta Lynx. Get out of town and be replaced by a CSRA Billiards Championships. That would be more entertaining, less violent, and certainly more approving.

A RANT FOR THE IDIOTS who think we should adopt the Fair Tax.

I'D LIKE TO SEND out a rave to my paper carrier Ozell Greene. We have been receiving our paper for 41 years. Thank you.

I WOULD LIKE TO RAVE to the lady on Richmond Hill Road who always decorates her yard so pretty. Her Christmas decorations are really pretty.

CONGRATULATIONS to Sylvia Cooper. You have really served the Augusta and Georgia political scene for a long time, and you deserve a good retirement.

THIS IS A RAVE FOR ALL the kids that volunteer to help others during the holidays. These kids, who are willing to give up their free time to help others, could sure teach many adults in this area a thing or two.

THIS IS CONCERNING that Columbia County woman. That sex was years ago, and it was consensual sex. She ought to be able to live where she wants to live.
