Dear Roofing Contractors Working On The Apartment Across The Alley:
Mmm, your roofing tar sure smells good! Good thing I like the odor, since you’ve parked your tar truck under my window all day long. That heavy thing you dropped that made my entire room shake was sure cool!

Dear Southern California Drivers:
It’s not that hard to get into the left turn lane for that turn you’d like to make up ahead. Just plan for your turn and get over when the lane opens up! Easy, eh? There ya go.

I’d really appreciate it if you could follow those instructions and thereby not block my lane while you wait to make a left turn into traffic. Because that lane is plenty big for you.

Dear Yves Brand:
Mmmm, those vegetarian chili dogs you make are sure tasty! Those are going to be a regular in my fridge!
