Dandelions
If you let your grass grow real tall, the dandelions don't grow so well. Unfortunately, the city promotes a dandelion growth environment.
Besides, think of how supportive all those dandelions are for honey bees!

Editorial: Parking plans
Hope everyone remembers this at election time. Seems some people might be voted off the island.
To put it in recognizable terms of a self-appointed more-equaled rights group,
If those two residents don't like the congestion of living by an University, don't live there.

City agrees to create resident-only parking zone on street near KU campus
Excepting this is a case where giving permits to people who live in the area is not the case. It's discriminating against certain people who live in the area in favor of certain others who live in the area.

Yep. And maybe those two houses should too. Maybe no street parking should be allowed for anyone.

You fail to realize the issue. This isn't about two parking spots. This is about everyone paying for the benefit of the few. And it isn't about these two parking spots. This is about trying it out, and then doing it other places. But not all places.
What would be fair is to making all parking toll parking. Or no parking on the streets at all.
Some people have nothing better to do than to make everyone pay for their benefit.

You must realize just because someone else is doing something doesn't mean it is right nor legal. Just because people are getting stoned in Colorado doesn't mean we need to, too.
Everyone pays taxes. Why shouldn't they get the same chance to park like anyone else? I am amazed sometimes....

Letter: Wildlife warning
Regarding rabies (or not), here's an interesting read and bias:
http://naturalrearing.com/coda/a_rabi...
"It is illegal to vaccinate them for rabies because the vaccine has only been tested on domestic species."
Well, now, isn't that an interesting bit of information. Just because it hasn't been tested. Looks like some would suggest "better safe than sorry", but instead it is made "illegal"?! Why? I just find that absolutely fascinating. Could it be ........ nah..... that couldn't be true, could it?
But as far as testing, has it really been tested, scientifically tested, whether domestically or otherwise? According to what I found, the idea was started by the fraud, Pasteur, who vaccinated 19 people who were "thought" to have been bitten by a rabid wolf. Only 3 (15%) died after taking the vaccine, so the flim-flam man declared success. The wolf was never tested for rabies. But hey, if you're a vet, why not promote it. Maybe it is true....

What about handicapped people? Will they be able to park there?

What if there is no parking in front of your house? Do you get a refund on your taxes? What if you have more people with cars at your house than there is space in front of your house? What if you live on a cul-d-sac? Why should people who are living in the city at a residence not be treated the same as others and each one be given street parking?
Discrimination is what you are promoting.

If you are a resident and you don't have a private reserved parking space in front of your house, you are being discriminated against. Looks like the sorority and fraternity houses need to show up at city hall and demand where their reasonable access to parking spaces in front of their houses are and demand the city provides it at taxpayer expense!
