[Dear You. . .]

Dear lady in the blue car in front of me on 31st Street,

Thank you for slowing down and very obviously pointing to the shoulder, I got to see the deer in the forest preserve! How neat to see six deer together in the picnic grove!


To the guy in front of me a little farther east on 31st Street,

I usually take that stretch of 31st a little slow because of the deer. I think I saw the doe step off the curb at about the same time you did and I was just about to change lanes when you tapped your brakes. My mom and dad see a deer there almost every Sunday either on the way to or coming home from church. I don't like to go that way because there are deer there so often, plus they blend in with the trees. I like to see them but I sure don't want to strike one. I'm glad you slowed down.

So glad you got to see the deer and everyone - humans, deer and cars, stayed safe! I had a deer cross in front of me on the way to choir the other night on a fairly busy road, I slowed down and then stopped, as she chose a spot with a fence blocking her from the woods, and I was worried she'd spin back around, but she just turned to run along the fence until she got to the opening, which wasn't too far away.

I have three deer cross my back garden most days. They used to stop for a while but now (since they have eaten everything edible) they just cross to the neighbors garden. Fortunately, we all think its magical to be able to watch them so they are welcome to decimate all our shrubs during the cold, snowy winter. Of course we may feel quite differently in spring.......

Your university pal

Dear Delaware State Police.............

DO NOT come banging on my door again at 1 a.m., unless it's an emergency regarding MY family. Got that???? When I answer the door barefoot and in my p.j.'s and half asleep, do I really look like I've seen the crack hoe biach next door that moved in a few months ago????? Do you seriously think that I would socialize with the likes of that???? NOT!!!!!!!

And thank you for leaving all the flashing lights on, on all 7 of your cars that were in her driveway, and of course for your chopper overhead with it's searchlights that turned night into day for the next several hours. I really didn't need any more sleep after you woke me.

At least you could have informed me what was going on. Yeah - my son heard yelling and banging coming from her place about an hour before my rude awakening. Did she assault one of her boyfriends again, and then flee the scene? - or maybe she even killed someone??? I saw the coroner's van and 4 unmarked cars leave her place around 4:30. Or maybe you guys killed her?????????

Yes - very inconsiderate of you not to tell me what was happening. Now I have to investigate the situation on my own.

Y A W N ...........well maybe after I get some sleep.
