R. Cumming: Lawn clippings on roads nearly as bad as oil spills

Robert Cumming writes:
Considering highway clean up costs, I've been waiting years since getting a motorcycle license, for the state legislature to come up with a law making it illegal to discharge dangerous grass clippings on pubic roads. Fresh grass clippings on the road are almost as bad as oil in losing control of a vehicle. --Robert Cumming

Joyce Coomer: Ugliness on the Cumberland Parkway

Costly, unnecessary, government-sponsored assault on the naturally most beautiful parkway in America- EW/CM
"I believe I experienced every negative emotion from vengeful wrath to profound sorrow to the depths of despair on my travels this weekend, as well as a few negative emotions for which I have no names." - JOYCE M. COOMER

Between now and Friday afternoon, I have traveled on the Cumberland Parkway from Russell Springs to Glasgow. The scenery was not as beautiful as it could have been.

Sometime in the past week, the roadsides were sprayed with herbicides. I have never seen such a mess.

Hopes sofa sign 'No Dogs' more effective than signs in Columbia

Effective signage

Charles Marshburn writes:
Our old couch has been broken in by our English setter and our golden retriever. I'm going to put a sign on the new couch which will read, "no dogs!". Hope it has more effect than the countless road signs in Columbia. - Charles Marshburn
Thanks, Charles Marshburn - Maybe you could volunteer to patrol Columbia as the a member of the Sign Police. Certainly needed. I think I agree with you, to a degree, but would like more specificity. You may be referring to the one-time sign at the Columbia Cemetery, "No Dogs," which was derisively laughed out of town when it was reported that Shaw Rowe was seen pointing to the sign and saying, "Here, Fluffy, read this." It may be apocryphal, but next to the "bee law," passed by a Columbia City Council, prohibiting bees in the City of Columbia, it is one of the funnier well-intentioned misguided ordinances ever. - EW
