10 October 2013 Dear Mr. Editor‚ I am writing this letter in hope of legalizing motorcycle lane splitting in more US states. Motorcycle lane splitting is currently only legal in California and in a few other countries.

A carrot becomes weak‚ an egg becomes hard and spiteful‚ and a coffee bean changes its surroundings. I am all of these. I am a carrot‚ an egg‚ and a coffee bean when I face adversity. How do you make gold soup? You put twenty four “carrots” in it of course. I like to think of myself as having a pretty thick skin‚ but that can all change

An Extra-Large Editorial (Subjectively Speaking) What does the word "large" mean these days? No‚ not that‚ ya pervert! I’m referring to the diminishing use of it in proper context. Ordered a large Coke lately? You probably wound up with the one that was one size smaller than the biggest they had. To me‚ large means if there are three sizes‚ it’s the biggest one. Apparently there are those in the retail industry who disagree with me. Sometime‚ without my knowledge‚ small was renamed as "regular‚"

To the editor Should an entire class of students be hindered in their learning if one of their classmates decides to have a day off school? I think not‚ and the majority of parents and students would believe the same. However in her 12/2/2013 article about the government’s Truancy Penalty Susie O’Brien would have you believe that missing a few days of school really isn’t that big of a deal and that really the parents should be the ones deciding what’s best for their child not the state government
