Why I voted no

To the editor:

The reason I voted down the latest school bond issue is that I read that part of the money is to be spent on relocating Memorial Field to a more central location & a 900-seat auditorium. Relocating Memorial Stadium to a more central location is the most ridiculous thing I have heard. Exactly where would this more central location be, the Commons Mall parking lot ? What could be more central then where it is right now? A 900-seat auditorium is_definitely not needed, so I guess they just threw that in thinking we wouldn't notice.

Yesterday we were at a super market standing in line behind one other woman. I decided to leave Elsbeth and wait in the walkway aisle.

We were in the maximum 10-item line, so as I watched a woman in front of Elsbeth got into a debate over the receipt and had to have an adjustment. Then as she emerged, I decided to have some fun with her and I said, "Madam, I am afraid I will have to take you to the manager.
