As a little boy growing up in Hollister, I remember my dad

My absentee voter ballot sits on the coffee table mocking me.

I almost hesitate speaking of this. The journalists’ jinx can and will strike at any moment. Recognizing that, admitting it and respecting it, maybe, pads any consequence.

"I live in the area of New and Roop streets right behind the outlets. There are noise cannons that are blowing from sunrise to sunset absolutely terrorizing the neighborhood dogs. In my particular case, I have a German shepherd who has been terrorized without any break for several weeks on end. I know there are alternatives for scaring these birds off beside making constant noises all day. I am wondering if I am the only one who is going through this hell with my dogs. Is it something that other people are concerned about as well but aren't necessarily doing anything about it? I was going to see if I could get some community action going here to make these folks realize that this noise pollution is unacceptable torture of animals. There are absolutely alternatives for them to keep birds away from their crops. This is a very selfish act on their part in my view and is torture for the animals."

It's garden question-and-answers. Remember, you may e-mail
