This would be called: “I date the fool and pity myself.”
I ask the city of Asheville to ban the use of cars, trucks and other demanding motor vehicles in the five-block radius constituting our downtown. The children operating such machinery cannot behave themselves, and my head is killing me.
Maybe an extravagant idea will curb the excruciating circumstance we continue to tolerate. Big, loud things are rarely important. The economy will survive. Please, think of something new.
