I had a call from the Police the other day. They said they had a report that my dog was chasing some kid down the street on his bicycle. I told them that my dog does not have a bicycle.

For me, mulching is out of the question. My yard is already full of leaf mulch. I have 50 trees that drop leaves, as well as several pines that drop needles. Cedar Rapids has stated it cost about $3 per household to pick up leaves, which I would gladly pay. I agree with Cloudburst that burning was the solution. I have talked to several Supervisors about this. Jim Houser, Lu Barron and Ben Rogers seem willing to try to find a solution. Brent Oleson could care less, which will be remembered next election. NOW is the time to contact the Supervisors if you live in the County or Robins or have been affected by this. Look at www.linncounty.org to find their email address'.
