Fault
The $200 stolen from the Saranac High School student is 99 percent the student's fault. Open your locker and put it away.

Illness
I used to work in a day-care facility. It is the parents' responsibility, if their child is sick, to keep them home, not to infect other kids, or the providers, with the flu. My thunder lies solely with the parent, who can't seem to "get the day off" or, even better, do not want to be bothered with a sick child. They'd rather hand them over to somebody else. It puzzles me that the parent can't get the day off from work, but they can afford to take time off for a week's vacation.

News
Channel 5 News at its finest. Tonight we were treated to Gus telling us about how his dog had urinated on a pumpkin at the pumpkin patch. The others laughed it up. They call this news? I could see if the dog was from Vermont, but I don't believe this was the case. Thank you for inviting us into your living room. That's my opinion, what's yours?

Sick
If your kids are too sick to go to school, they are too sick to go to a baby sitter and risk infecting the other kids at that place. Keep your sick kids home. If you are sick ... stay home too.
