      <description><![CDATA[What is life? I think it is what you make of it.
Some enjoy it others just want out. But a few of us are stuck in the middle.
As most of you read in the paper I did what I thought was a good thing. A thing I did for years.
 I tried to help others.
But this time I helped the wrong one. I tried to help two men who was pulled over on the side of a road only to be attacked and cut up.
Why bother? I don’t know that answer yet. On my way home last night about 2AM I seen a car on the side of the road and never even helped. Never even stopped to see if they were ok. That is not Bill.
 Gun shy? I don’t know.
Some times I wonder why we have to live such a messed up life but other times I think there is a reason. I don’t want people to stop helping others but to just be careful in how we do it. Some times a call to 911 will work better to help some one. Don’t put your self in a bad spot. But let’s not give up on others. We are here to help others. I think I need a new lesson on that.]]></description>

I'm fine with that.  
What I do not agree with is all the public intoxications.  If you are not puking or passed out on the sidewalks or destroying property, then leave us alone.  I'm sick in tired of government protecting us from ourselves.]]></description>

I can’t help but to wonder are the police officers not always after drunks?
I was almost sure I read this wrong. I would think that the Bluffton city police and the Wells county sheriff’s deputies are always doing their jobs and busting any one who is drunk while driving. Tell me if imp wrong.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I agree. I asked for paid for and was given a permit for an out building but not long after I received the permit and was about done with building they wrote me a letter and said they pulled my permit? WHY? Because he was not sure how I was coming with it. Ok!
I told him to get glasses because I did build the building and it was in the field. I think they need a new head person that is what I think. How can this county give a business like B AND K Auto parts a hard time after they lost their main shop and office? This county needs jobs and we all know this so why put this company on the back burner and make it possible for their workers to be laid off?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I agree with most of Mr. Miller's ideas but have to disagree on one of them.  One of the things that aggravates him is &quot;People who think the speed limit on Ind. 1 between Bluffton and Fort Wayne is 50 mph.&quot;  I may be in the minority, but I am in my 70's and my reaction time, I'm sure, isn't what it used to be.  I just feel much safer when I hold my speed to 50 mph.    And my car operates more efficiently at 50 mph that at any other speed.  With today's gas prices, holding to 50 mph is a plus for me.  Would it be better for me to risk my safety (and that of others) and use more gas just to keep Mr. Miller (and others lead-foots) from being aggravated?  And, after all, designated speed limits aren't for minimum speed, they are for maximum speed.  Where does it say you MUST drive at the designated speed limit?]]></description>

Really was disappointed went to see the tractor pull on Friday evening scheduled for 4:00 pm to start finally gave up and went back home it still hadn't started at 5:15 pm.   Why schedule to start a certain activity at a certain time, if you aren't going to follow through.  Won't bother to go next year and waste my money for nothing, it is to hard to come by now days.   Poor organizing if you ask me....  Call me disappointed..]]></description>
