“To The Gentleman Who Jogs in the Mornings: Please wear some reflective clothing! Or even a reflective headband! As a motorist and a fellow jogger and cyclist, I am keenly aware of the dangers of traveling any stretch of road. Wearing dark clothing only adds to the danger to yourself and everyone else on the road. Please, for your safety and mine, put on something reflective! Or at least light colored.
I even have a spare reflective jogging vest… which I will give you!” • Jackson in Randolph

As parents begin to age, and we take them in to live with us, outfitting a home for their care can be a new challenge.

“One of my pet peeves: bagged dog poop just tossed wherever like a huge bagged colorful flag saying “I’m now sequesturd in a plastic bag, but I’m still poopy, and everyone can see me now.” Why in the world would someone take the trouble to bag the poop and then leave the bagged poopies all over the place? On a run with my wife the other day, I picked up 5 of them. FIVE! (am I not virtuous?) I’m really puzzled by it: why bag it and then pitch it wherever? I mean, isn’t it better to just leave it unbagged? (not that I’m suggesting that at all, no, not at all) instead of adding a bag to it? There’s got to be some logic to this widespread practice. People are generally logical by their own lights, just not by other people’s lights. Is it that the dog chooses to poop right in front of everyone, and so one just has to bag it or face massive disopprobrium, but then later one, when no one is looking, it’s easier to dump the poop? I volunteer my trash bin for bagged poopies: feel free to bag it up, tie it off, and leave it in my bin. But do tie it off, so my bin doesn’t smell like poopy.” • Jacques in Burlington
