RAVE to the kind, generous lady behind me in line who paid for my lunch at Subway. Several times the cashier swiped my newly bought $15 Subway gift card; it repeatedly said invalid. I offered to go to my car and get the money to pay, but this “angel” in line said, “I got this, just go enjoy your sandwich.
” Yes, there are angels among us; I look forward to “paying it forward.” RANT to the local news station video crew that films New Year’s Eve and Fourth of July fireworks for television viewing. Please keep the cameras on a wide angle view and leave them there for the show.
We do not want to see silhouettes of the crowd or a single explosion close-up. We want to see the entire area for the full effect. RAVE to our neighbors who helped out when our cat escaped and became feral during our efforts to bring him home.
Special rave to the passing stranger who stepped in and scooped him up when we could not and carried him to our house. RANT to my neighbors for letting your 8-year-old set off fireworks unsupervised. It is against the law and 18 is the age.
Guess the law doesn’t apply or being a good decent neighbor is beyond your comprehension. RAVE to the Edmonds librarian! We left a bookmark that my daughter had made my wife for Mother’s Day many years ago in a book that we returned. The librarian called me to tell me that she found it and that she would hold it for us.
She said that she couldn’t bear to throw it out. RANT to King County Metro bus drivers: Three times in the last year I have seen and smelled passengers vaping on the bus. The last time I talked to the driver and he just shrugged and said he would not do anything.
RANT AND RAVE Rave to service workers and waitstaff who love their profession and give great service regardless of the size of the tip. These folks are working hard for minimum wage. Please remember that they rely on our generosity to earn a decent living.
Rant to establishments that solicit tips for workers who do little or nothing to earn a tip, often before the service is provided, and, worst of all, places where the “no tip” option is removed. Really? RANT AND RAVE Rant to the people who leave their dog’s excrement to be dealt with properly by someone else. On my casual 30-minute or so walk I came across three bags neatly tied up and left along the side of the trail in the Green River Natural Resources Area.
If you can’t handle your dog’s waste responsibly, please leave them at home where they can use your front yard. Rave to the folks I see packing their dog’s business out with them. RANT AND RAVE Rave to those courteous drivers on the inside lane of a roundabout who signal if they’re going through, or if they’re turning left.
Rant to those all-about-me drivers who don’t signal because the law doesn’t require them to..
