Peeved – Week of 12/23

Residents share what bugs them


New lane lines have been painted on Kerns Road, a road with a perilous past. Several fatalities have occurred, both day and night, on a narrow, winding and unlit country road. Passing lanes are a hazardous addition. Too close to local residences, a false sense of safety and security is given to motorists who break the speed limit. To what advantage? Please remove and install no passing signs.

Mobile Phones; I accept the reality of their near-necessity these days however, if you are driving they create a hazard. If you are a parent, they disconnect you from your responsibilities as a parent. I shake my head as I encounter people in public who have their heads buried deep in the recesses of the wondrous magnetism of these devices while their vehicle crosses into my lane, or their children are running amok. Please, find the strength to break free of the grip those little devices have on you and consider fulfilling your responsibilities in the social network of the OFFLINE world. Thank you.
