Editor:
We hear a lot of talk about the things that make the Coast special, but no one mentions our most interesting resource - our crankiness! Every Friday I wait by the mailbox for Coast Reporter. Why? For the letters, of course.
A never-ending litany of complaints and objections about everything under the sun: invisible waves rotting our brains, secretive politicians, bagless shoppers, smelly civic projects, bird-eating cats, garbage-leaving weekenders, Target Marine and one-way streets. Who knew?
What a pleasure it is to read the ridiculous rants of my fellow citizens. That's our strength - complaining and objecting.
Let's celebrate our strength. I suggest an annual "silliest letter" contest. There could be monthly nominees with their letters reprinted. The winner could be announced at a gala dinner while the other nominees gnash their teeth.
Now there is an event that would bring some attention to our town.
I'll be happy to act as a judge.
