Shouldn’t the house be condemned? Especially with people living near it. Hey Henry, concerning the North Henry County area - We are getting passed over as far as road repairs go. I feel like the residents here are giving tire and alignment repair shops plenty of business. Please fix our roads! We feel like the grass along the fence, that never gets cut. Hey Henry, I can’t wait until the new schools are finished by the McDonough Post Office and see how they figure out what to do with the traffic in that area. Hey Henry, teach your children and grandchildren how to repair things. You can go to college all day long, but if you can’t fix the toilet you’ll look wimpy to the new wife. There is something noble about the handyman. Hey Henry, for all you folks with prestige tags, you’re driving everyone nuts trying to figure out what in the heck your tag means. Do everyone a favor and put a small sign on your trunk with your license plate deciphered. Hey Henry, we’re the only country that can’t speak our own language. Hey Henry, in the piece I read in the Times last week it stat- ed that our police officers were having to fight to have their medical bills paid when they were injured in the performance of their job functions. They should be compensated 100% and then some for the job that they do. Hey Henry, I remember when Henry County’s claim to fame was being the 8th fastest growing county in America. A sensi- ble person would have thought, “I don’t want to move there.” Hey Henry, I beg to differ about thanking veterans. I think you should thank World War II veterans. They saved the entire world - all the other conflicts are just meddling in other countries’ business. Hey Henry, we choose our own destiny. If your destiny isn’t fulfilling or gratifying, the blame lies with you. Hey Henry, nobody cares what you think of our clothing choices. If I’m going to or from the gym and need to stop and buy a gallon of milk, I’m not about to go home, shower, put on street clothes and go back out again just so your delicate sensibilities aren’t offended by my workout clothes. You have an inflated sense of your own importance. Hey Henry, who says Trump is the worst liar? I think he’s one of the best liars, right up there with Hillary and Obama and every other politician we’ve put in office. Hey Henry, June Cleaver, Ozzie and Harriet is progress? What else shall we bring back? Hoop skirts and horse and buggies? Maybe it’s time you moved to the Villages. Hey Henry, to the person who said thanking veterans’ embar- rasses them - my grandfathers and uncles served, I served. I can say with confidence that a “thank you” doesn’t embar- rass any of us. It actually feels nice because so often, we don’t feel appreciated. So, to the citizens of Henry County, don’t stop saying thank you - it makes our day!
