HUGS & SLUGS: It’s a 4-4 tie!

Did you return someone's purse? Take a set of golf clubs? Drive through a stop sign? Then there is a hug or a slug for you this week.

HUGS & SLUGS: It’s a 4-4 tie!

HUGS: A huge hug to the kind gentleman and the clerks at a local grocery store for returning my purse to me.

SLUGS: To whomever took a golf cart and two sets of golf clubs from shed No. 69 at the Granite Pointe Golf Club. May Karma find you. A disappointed senior

SLUGS: To the driver who blew through two stop signs in Rosemont on Sunday. You think because you have a fancy car the rules don’t apply to you?

HUGS: To Uphill dog owners who walk their dogs on leash, from a cat owner who recently had her elderly cat treed by a dog not on leash. Thank you for respecting the rules and not endangering my old kitten. It could have been so much worse.

HUGS: A wonderful poetic hug to the young lady poet at the Garden Market who crafted a very pertinent poem. May you continue your word creations which contributes to the goodness of our world. A grateful recipient

SLUGS: Slithering, slimy, substandard secondhand slugs to the folks who knowingly donate dangerously faulty, broken and/or useless items to charities. Since you’ve saved some bucks on dump fees, why not buy something that actually works, and donate that?

SLUGS: To the vehicle owners who toss their cigarette butts out of their vehicle windows onto the bush and dry grass along our beautiful Kootenay roads. Has Rock Creek and Fort McMurray taught you nothing?! If you have to smoke, please extinguish and dispose of your toxic waste considerately or give your body and all of us a break and give up!! A disgruntled living-on-the-highway home owner

HUGS: I’ve had two bad luck days on the road. One was lost car keys that were found by two strangers who helped. God bless them both. The next was a flat tire on the way home from Castlegar. A young lady and her daughter stopped to help and showed me how to change a tire. Then a young fellow stopped to jump in and take over the job. How lucky I’ve been by the kindness of others. In Friday’s paper I counted 12 hugs and four slugs. Wow! What a great week, don’t you think?
