My dad used to shovel them as a little boy to earn extra money. Ugh!

Kudos to that witness.
I wish all the Pointe's could set up some sting operations with cars and…Read More bicycles and nab more of these punks in the act.
I'd volunteer my bike or car (with valuables inside).

Didn't this city have a hiring freeze on? Now the residents will pay pension benefits, sick leave,…Read More health insurance while the streets are full of holes? Let me guess, they will come back for another Headlee Override as soon as they are sure they have their political carcasses returned for another term in office. Is this Detroit - east? Isn't anyone learning anything about the impact of legacy costs from reading the Detroit situation?

Larry it would be pretty sweet. I could have used those back in the day. Salvage Man I don't think…Read More there is a concern that a person having a glass of wine is going to plow through a massive statue or decorative island or whatever it becomes. Unless you're the one who had phallic symbols drawn on your face in makeup at a party. Then a glass of wine might do it.

Booze doesn't cause accidents. Driving like an idiot and not caring because you're drunk causes…Read More accidents.
That said, we don't need bumpers on the road because we have bumpers on the car!

I feel sorry for the GP Shores police - they get some of the craziest drivers in SE Michigan on…Read More Lakeshore Road, and the GPYC and Osius Park fences take a beating too - crazy corner at Vernier & Lakeshore.

My dad taught me many things, one lesson came when I was about 6 years old (I'm 52 now!) and I had…Read More told a fib (who knows what it was about). He knew (of course) and although he didn't say a word, I saw the hurt in his eyes and remember to this day, the importance of honesty even when it may be hard. He also taught me to never make a decision in anger or in haste, to be careful with your money and never put more on the credit card than you can pay off at the end of the month, if you were going to do something, you might as well do it well and that family is the most important thing we have. My dad is also the most generous man I know ~ the saying "he would give you the shirt off his back if he thought you needed it" must have been written about my dad. Thanks, Dad! Love you!

My Dad used to say, "Everybody wants Your money!" One morning, very early, I was sitting…Read More at the kitchen table getting ready to drive to classes at WSU. My Dad was standing at the kitchen sink, washing some dishes and singing the song "Row, Row, Row Your Boat gently down the stream, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life is But a Dream"... and he turned to me and he said, "You know Carol, Life is But a Dream... And now that I am even older than the day that he spoke those words... I know them to be true.

Although my dad, Harold Behler, passed away many years ago, I still think of him often. He and mom…Read More encountered many hardships over their married life, including the death of a baby son at age three, living through the Great Depression while owning a small dairy business in Plymouth, and then another business failure in the late 1940s. But dad was never bitter or even seemed down spirited because those problems. He taught me to have a positive outlook on life even when things are not going well. He died at the early age of 63 in 1959, but I can still remember how his voice sounded when he called me by his special nickname for me....."Dade". My older brother, who passed on last December, used to say that Dad "was a man who never met a stranger" because of his friendliness and ability to strike up a conversation with perfect strangers. Guess he learned that ability while a milkman back in the day when he delivered door to door for Plymouth Dairy (late 1920s and 30s). Cloverdale Dairy (1940s) and Twin Pines Dairy (1950s). He was a wonderful role model for me as a father of two daughters.
