I called the city Public Works Department this morning to ask if they would be removing a big tree that fell in my office’s yard, since the tree was on the city side of the sidewalk. He said if on city property, yes. I gave an address, and 10 minutes later a three-man crew was there and totally removed the big tree in an hour.

Bored? Want some excitement in your life? Next time the drive-up person at McD’s asks you to pull up into a spot and wait for your order, say No! Just sit right there and wait for your order.

Squawker is right about one thing, except no squawkers care what you say about the Bulldogs. Whether they go 12-0 or 0-12 they are still our team. Unlike your bandwagon fans who only pick a winning team to root for. That is not a true fan. Seriously is Alabama really your team? I don’t think so.

Thank you, Mr. Fletcher, for pointing out in your on-point column and beautifully written story about Donalsonville the differences in the reaction to Hurricane Michael by the people there and the people in our community. Sad.

I think I am going to the gas station and prepay for a tank of gas I may need in two weeks. That is exactly what you are doing paying in advance for Mediacom services. Take a look at your bill summary. The bill I received today, 11/17/18, is for a period of 11/23/18 through 12/22/18. Payment is due 12/4/18. Paying 18 days in advance.

Who is going to pick all those plastic bottles out of the mulch they dumped on the ground by the mall-bound entrance to the bypass from Slappey? Never seen so much trash deliberately dumped on state land. The contractor needs to clean this up.

Carlton, I read where you did not vote. I’ve read some of your columns: From all of us who did vote, thank you for not voting.

How can we expect businesses to come to Georgia when our people are not even smart enough to count votes?

Facebook conspired with the Russians to elect Donald Trump, and now Facebook is denying everything … just like Mr. Trump.

Another heroin overdose. When is law enforcement going to arrest someone for selling dope that is killing people? Enough is enough.

Carlton Fletcher and Terry Lewis: Finding the facts deep in the shadows. Keeping local politicians honest.

Forget Russia. We better worry about the Democrats meddling with the election, especially that little blonde down there in Florida.

I guess Dawson’s really going to Hades in a handbasket now. I found out today our new mayor is being advised by our former Mayor Wright, who has been indicted for several crimes.

Squawker: I didn’t notice how so-called fake Christians recoiled, but I did notice how Satan gets plenty of room in the Squawkbox through your evil mouth.

This is to the Calhoun County DFCS and the people who came in to sign us up for D-SNAP: They were so professional, and I appreciate everything they did.

Miss Abrams, maybe God’s plan wasn’t for you to be governor, but I’m sure there’s another position for you working in the great state of Georgia.
