Letter is tongue in cheek, writer says

ColumbiaMagazine.com is fattening?

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

I just want to let you know that with all your pictures of food; all your advertisements for the good places to eat, you are contributing to the obesity of anyone who reads this site.

Everytime I log on and see them I have a battle with my mind and my stomach; wish my mind would win more often...

Keep up the good work. Pen, you should really see if Southern Living could use you as a food photographer.

All in good fun...have a great day.

s/Rebecca Grant

Thanks. The photos do make us hungry, too. We appreciate your comments and hope you know that we subscribe to the Neutralization Diet made famous by Adair County Food Guru Bruce Wilson. Enjoy everything: Simply put, his theory is this: You buy out General Nutrition Health foods, then you can neutralizethose with Krispy Kremes.

City Utilities wants incidents reported when meters are damaged; tragedies can result if meters are broken and gas blows from them

To Lawn Care and Mowing Services, Personal Mowers:

Columbia Utilities has recently had several of our natural gas meters hit by lawn mowers. We had one that was hit hard enough that there was a 1" steel pipe broke, which allowed gas to escape.

This incident was not reported by the person that hit the meter, but later by someone walking up the street who heard the gas blowing. A dangerous situation for this home and the surrounding area was created.
