In 2019, instead of “The 10 to Watch,” I’m dubbing this one, “Let’s All Watch” these, or L.A.W. for short.

L.A.W. the bored and unhealthy of Rowan to see how much longer it will take for a declaration to become a reality. The parks are not tobacco-free. What got freed was those stinking-ash butt-cans and all those stupid ridiculous redundant, confusing signs. Everyone involved in that fiasco should hang their head in shame.

L.A.W. the Salisbury Post for more information on the 57 new retail service and manufacturing businesses and the over 20 new restaurants in RoCo. Maybe the Post can convince the “chairman of the brag” to declare that, too.

L.A.W. the people driving 54 mph or less in the left lane. You need to get in the other lane. That’s why it’s called the “right” lane because you’re in the wrong lane. Get your A double S in the right lane.

L.A.W. the Salisbury City Council for littering. Losing a child is the most devastating thing that could happen in a lifetime. I can’t even imagine. But has anyone ever thought about the animals that are destroyed by humans doing something that should be stopped? Wildlife mothers lose babies, too. They don’t have balloons to send up to the blue sky. But they do help the earth by planting trees.

L.A.W. for lowlifes planting “sacohockey” (dirty diapers) in parking lots and on the roads while stopped at red lights.

Finally, “Let’s All Watch” and see if the auto manufacturing folks are gonna put turn signals back in cars in 2019. Happy New Year!
