Cafes unprepared the following problems happened Over the 4th of july weekend at various army and air Force Exchange service outlets in Baum older. On Friday which was payday the Gas station was out of Gas which by the Way happens nearly every weekend. On the 2nd, the hot dog stand was out of hot dogs cheese cokes and straws. On the 3rd, the Burger King drive thru. Was closed which is also Normal and would not be tolerated by the Burger King corporation. It was closed on the 5th As Well. All cafes stores were out of ice All weekend. But the main problem is that these Are weekly occurrences at cafes stores. They should have known this was the busiest weekend of the summer yet they did virtually nothing to prepare for it. V j. Not having Gas on payday is Jura Complete Lack of organization and customer service. I Hope someone from a fest front office reads this because i have not heard one bit of feedback on the Many complaints i have filed with cafes. A Jon a. Renfro Baum older Germany a a a a a a Hillary Dildo Heads your front Page Story on Rush Lim Baugh june 30 says More than you realize. Obviously there Are a Hillary ditto Heads running the stars and stripes. Your examples of factual errors were Petty trivial and irrelevant to the critical issues of the Day. I suppose rushes comments on liberals health care Gay rights and extreme off fhe Wall views of environmentalists and feminism Are without error / More important i know without a Shadow of a doubt that you would never print a front Page Story on the Clinton administrations lies deceptions scandals and manipulations. The Good news is that the administration realizes its policy arguments Are not holding up to the scrutiny of the american masses its decision to resort to character assassination rather than intellectual arguments and open debates is a sign of weakness and fear. The news Media a privilege of unbiased reporting As been abdicated in favor of Goebbels style journalism. Perhaps you should consider a name change a the stars and stripes amp pravda. A Hugh a Paterson or. Simbach a Germany a the knives it now appears that Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were brutally murdered by a Large fighting knife. How Many More people have to be slaughtered before these assault weapons Are taken off the streets ? As a concerned citizen i propose a group be founded called a pocket knives inc.,&Quot and that a death clock be erected in times Square to inform America of the number of cuts that occur with knives. Our founding fathers in their simple Wisdom could not have imagined the Advance in knife technology Constitution should not be considered in this matter. It is Way past time for a constitutional convention anyway those ancient Laws need a Good tampering. What were those old timers thinking of anyway Banning knives is your Basic no brainer. Knife owners and collectors should take up other hobbies like Reading or extremely accurate Media surveys have shown 95 percent of the people surveyed think assault knives should be banned. It is past time for authorities to take charge in this matter As we know the average citizen cannot be trusted to use Good judgment. Once these Nasty assault knives Are outlawed and Only the authorities have them America will be a safer place. At that time the authorities can move on to More Laws for the common Good like Banning baseball bats scissors rocks Etc. A Jack Hensley Rhein main a Germany.

I commentary 1 footloose in Europe but still fancied Home by Joyce Gabriel Stamford Conn advocate this column is a special thank you to my husband who insisted i go to England for three weeks to tour the country with my women friends. Greater love hath no Man than to take care of three Young boys and a menagerie of animals while mom sojourned in Europe. Usually Peter cringes when invoke his name in a column. He a been known As the Man who can to do laundry the Man who hogs the to Remote control one among the Many Middle aged while men out there who can make us Middle aged White women crazy. But with this selfless offer he put himself right up. There with St. Francis of Assisi and Mother Teresa. The gift my husband gave me for three weeks was to be totally Carefree for the first time in years. I found myself with the one commodity i never have at Home a free time. I read i walked i talked 1 had Tea i went sightseeing i my of jeeps Pant you just know the feet nazis would take the . Foot Bau. And run with it by it a Eyen did needlepoint. The trip represented a time out of my regular life a kind of College trip abroad in Middle age. Right before i left on the trip i kept thinking i go that i possibly. But my selfless husband was right there insisting that i go no matter what. And then. I was airborne. Travelling Solo. No longer a wife and Mother but a woman on my own. Interestingly enough the passenger sitting next to me was a a Giuong Mother whose husband had stayed Home with their two Young children while she went to England for a week. We talked a lot about feeling strange to be going off by ourselves for pleasure without our families. Yet when we landed we almost bounded out of the plane ready to set off on our adventures. A the luxury of quiet evenings writing postcards and chatting with our friends the Broderick who entertained me As a House guest for my first week. For the following two weeks i travelled with three other women. Among us we drove and navigated through the highways and byways of England we took trains and handled More Luggage than we thought we could we went sightseeing and drank Tea and had a Good cry together Over the piano. I would Call Home every other night talking to my three sons and my husband making sure everyone and everything was of. It was a strange feeling not to be at the Center of their lives. On the other hand my Energy seemed boundless. There was just so much More optional time to have fun. I Felt Freer than i had in years. But by the time the vacation was Over i was ready to come Home. I missed my family. Still i realized the great gift they had Given me by letting me go off on my adventure so i could come Home and Tell. Them about How Beautiful the Stone Wall of a Castle is As the last Light catches it at Sunset. And so that they could Tell me All the adventures they had had without me.
