KUDOS TO COLONELS 

ONE MOMENT IN TIME!!!!

 Just a shout out to the students at Wilkes College who this weekend cleaned up the garbage at Nesbitt Park. The students picked up various and sundry forms of trash discarded by the slobs who live in this area. John Maday who is one of the great environmental boosters of this area lamented the fact that people, aka slobs of Wyoming Valley (John is too polite to call them out for the pigs they are but I’m not) said he hoped people would not use public parks as their private garbage dumps. 
Too late John, too late. It is ingrained in the culture here. A friend of mine had a meeting at the Woods last week with an agency head from out of the area. He had to get over to Genetti’s quickly so made a short cut through the Brookside section of Wilkes Barre. He took that road that runs along Hollenback Park directly under the Crossvalley Expressway. Right along the route he told me he was mortified at the garbage that lined the side of the road for as long as the eye can see. (And yes, there was the couch and chair right along the road too). Heaven knows what the guy riding in the passenger seat thought. 
Folks, this doesn’t go on everywhere. There are actually people who use couches, 30 packs of beer, mouth wash, condoms, fast food, soda and microwaves all across the land. The only difference is they throw away the packaging  in their trash and the slobs of Wyoming Valley litter the roadsides. 
We are slobs. Plain and simple with no respect for ourselves and where we live. I spent an hour yesterday cleaning up the garbage from my front lawn. Slobs. 
But hey Wilkes College, thanks for your efforts. They are appreciated if only noticeable for one moment in time. Because as sure as God made little green apples, the slobs will reappear from their holes and litter again.

ATTENTION 11PM NEWS TEAM!!!!!

To the people at the 11PM Edition of WBRE TV Eyewitness News. On Monday night, you reported that the lady pictured below, Margaret Thatcher passed away.

However, as your anchor read a fine tribute to her, your “b” roll showed a photo of this lady, Barbara Bush,  who is not dead.

Maybe the Editor missed it. Or wasn’t alive when either the deceased Thatcher or the very much alive Bush was in the news. Not being picky here…..just saying. 
Maybe you need an editor that might have read a copy of Time Magazine along the way.
