From the mountains to 6th Avenue
Many Evergreeners commute. It's been described as a commuter community. Accurate. So there is an etiquette to commuting. The first rule: Leave early. Even if you depart for a 9 to five job at 6:30 a.m., you will not be alone. If you like being alone on the highway, go to Montana. The second rule: Leave early If you don't get off til 5 p.m., take a book on tape, because you will be sitting in traffic near Federal and 6th, and entertainment of any kind is helpful. There are polite drivers, like me, who let others sneak in, especially in merge lanes. I try. You probably do too. The one thing I have decided that will not happen to me is that I will not be mangled in a car wreck on 6th Avenue or I-70 in either direction. What do you do to keep this promise to yourself?

I know I wouldn't want to be hit by any kind of gun, BB or otherwise.
So it's with some alarm when I read
one mom's story
about a hit on her neighbor's windows with an alleged high-speed BB gun.
A drive-by shooting, she calls it.
Of course, it could be worse. But the scenario she describes- her neighbors are eating a meal together when the bullet strikes the window - that might scare some folks.
Do you have information about this or do you know anything about BB guns?
I sure don't
If you do, please share the info with us.
