Well I heard a good one as I shopped in West Seattle. I was told about the wonderful roadway that was finished. Oh, but was it? My source said that now they are putting in the new sidewalks. But first they must tear up some of the street to complete the project. I wonder who hooked that cart up to the horse?

Also I shop a lot by mail because I do find some things cheaper than I would in stores. But now I have been calling to see if items are made in China. If they are I tell (the catalog personnel) that I no longer want to receive their catalog. I think American products are made better and are safer for consumers. I buy cloth diapers that I wear as a turban because they are always nice and white. But the last ones from Gerber's are from China-they shrink and don't hold their shape. Please ask our leaders to bring our business back home.
