<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> Bruce, I respect the passion you bring to this problem of trash and defecation, </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> and I hope you succeed in raising awareness and getting it fixed. </FONT></div>
<div> </div>
<FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> </FONT><div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> I know first hand how people can both feel attacked and attack back when </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> strong emotions are expressed over the need for improvement. But take heart, </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> many of us agree with you - at least basically - even if we do not feel your </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> level of frustration. </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> You may find more traction after the Christmas Cheer Season has passed </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> and it will help if you can appreciate that some of us are just not experiencing </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> the problem as much as you are. Come to think of it, the fastest way to solve </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> this problem is for you to stop walking Edger around these parks. (Just joking! </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> Put your eye balls back in their sockets).</FONT></div>
<div> </div>
<FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> </FONT><div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> I urge you to apologize again to those offended - and to accept my apology </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> to you on behalf of others, and please don't feel you are alone on this. You're not.</FONT></div>
<div> </div>
<FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> </FONT><div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> I have a few ideas on how we might attack the problem - although I don't</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> really have the time right now to write them up. I hope to share those</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> thoughts sometime soon.</FONT></div>
<div> </div>
<FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> </FONT><div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> At this time of year, we look to build positive experiences with family,</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> friends and community - it's a time for warm fuzzies. Of course, then </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> we stress ourselves out over it - especially when our expectations for</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> cooperation or warmth are not met. In this regard, it is both the warmest </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> and the coldest of seasons. Many a feud has started at Christmas dinner.</FONT></div>
<div> </div>
<FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> </FONT><div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> So I wish you and everyone ever offended by you or me, peace of mind.</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=3> And I wish you all the very best.</FONT></div>
<div> </div>
