Bigfoot And Other Issues
Dear Editor;
[ do say that the picture of old bigfoot look
ed just fine, I enjoy art and also humor and it
seems to help in trying times, and I think that
this is some of that . . . I know who in this coun

he is not disabled he needs his job to support
himself and his wife.
We may need some more new law cars for

but all must be checked into I suppose. I guess
they keep a record of incoming phone calls.
1 heard some one else had an accident
because they did not see . . . Why are folks not
seeing | wonder? Is it poor vision, drinking or
drugs, or overtired, or maybe an emotional pro
blem and the tears are keeping one from see
ing sometimes as they are driving on the
