It makes me a little sad that the founder of this great event had to pass sponsoring it own event. Thankfully it will continue, thanks to Vitamin Cottage. Published in the October 28, 2008 Times-Call Thanks for reading!

The idea for this cartoon came from a article in the October 22, 2008 Times-Call by John Fryar.
2034 is a long ways away! The rest of Colorado will have passed Longmont by. Even 18 years is too long of a wait. If we are on the way to be fuel efficient, we need more public alternative transportation now, not in 18 years, let alone in 26 years. The FasTracks project sure seems to be moving at the speed of snail.

Do roadside memorials hurt anyone? No. We should just let them be.

Who steals a 150 pound pumpkin? The idea for this story came from a story by Scott Rochat in the Friday, October 03, 2008 Times-Call It would take a bit of planning and some man power to take a pumpkin of that size. A pumpkin so big could be called great. That's how the joke came to me. (Sorry Charles, I just had to do it) It wouldn't be funny if it weren't for you.

Come on people! Stealing candidate signs is just low. Let's not have it come to this. If you can justify sign stealing, let me know your mind set. Published in the October 6, 2008 Times-Call Thanks for reading!

Call me kookey, but how can one man lead both the Police Department and the Fire Department. Will it really "save" tax payers money? What about the extra hours of miss communication between the divisions. Also, can the Fire Department trust that Butler has their best interests at heart. I am sure that he's a good man, but a discouraged department might not think so.

After reading the insert about the Longmont Humane Society's new Allen Center in the Times-Call Special section, I felt that it was the nicest place. What animal would not want to sit, stay, and spay at the new modern facility. I also thought animal control officers would be overwhelmed with eager animals trying to get into the building.
