Week after week, I have been reading the paper hoping for some good news only to read about the collective “shooting ourselves in the foot” news. Last week, I was invited to the fireworks for my friend Kelsey Harrell’s birthday. I wasn’t able to attend. However, I was lucky enough to view from my windows across from the fort. The display was wonderful! As we were watching, I made the following statement: “You watch, someone is going to complain.” Lo and behold, I pick up last week’s paper and there is a whole section dedicated to the complaints. I’m so happy Kelsey got her birthday fireworks and I’m glad Scott Bradford made the statement he did. Can the Negative Nancys turn that frown upside down? For the love of Haines, can we all just chill out? Please?
