Folks on Plain Road East must be getting pretty desperate if they are concerned about the noise from the proposed dog shelter. Hey, come my way. Now we have almost continual concerts about a mile away at the brewery and they play til 10 or 11 p.m. Good if you don’t work or like rock and roll and maybe if you don’t have little kids who need their sleep, like the neighbors.

I think the dog shelter opponents are grasping at straws and don’t have a paw to stand on. How many hoops are you going to make these animal lovers and helpers go through? Seems to me that you don’t know the definition of noise like the trains that goes by our house at 80 mph 10 times a day laying on the horn from center of town to the crossing by the school and the 50 buses driving by our house as early as 6 a.m. and the rooster next door who starts his crowing at 3:30 a.m. and most of the day.

I wish I had such piddly things to worry about and you should consider yourself lucky that a lawn or garbage business did not snap up the land. Then you would have something to crow about.
