Wednesday, May 31, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon LETTERS Continued from page 2 their behavior for a while I decided to call them “press rats.” It was like mass confusion as their little legs, tails erect, propelled them to and fro as though looking for an opportunity to generate the latest fake news. Every once in a while a group of them, as though alerted to a breaking story, would scurry back into there “deep state” holes praying that an impeach-worthy “anonymous” tip was finally found. In general it became obvious these press rats loved to dig up worthless dirt everywhere they could find it. One crazed press rat in particular, I named it Rachel, would dive in and out of its hole constantly, seemingly desperate to find that nugget of hope for credibility and fame. I later did some research on the press rats and found them to be true liberal rats as well; so against right to life they will even eat their own young. Who would have thought watching these “despicable” little animals would be such an interesting analogy to everyday events? Jeff Mackey s s 19 some did, thinking there might be a hearing problem on my part. No, I hear fine. I read so many outraged neighbors in The Nugget regard- ing the noise disrupting their tranquility. I have to wonder, did they know there was an airport nearby when they bought or rented? And the noise an airport makes. What if it was a train sta- tion, and more trains came through due to a new business? Where does it end? Where will you take it? Our house, like many, is in a flight path of our gem of an airport. Again, noise pollution? NO. I do hear the traffic on Highway 20 though. Now maybe I can rile up some neighbors and we can put a stop to that. People of the universe, we are not alone. We live, work and hopefully thrive with each other. Consider the ripple effect. I felt ashamed and sad- dened by this loss. This behavior is not something to be proud of. Linda Peck s To the Editor: Wow. Congrats people of Sisters Country. My hat’s off to you if I ever wear one. I just found out that our young, brave entrepre- neurial folks with the skydiving business at Eagle Air pulled stakes and are now operating in Madras. I was surprised to find this out, but upon reflecting, who could blame them? We certainly did an awful lot of that while they were here. Doing business, bringing in business to Sisters. But alas, the “not- in-my-backyard” folks ran them off. I work next to the airport. I live four miles outside of our sweet, beautiful town of Sisters. I never experienced the “noise pollution” that Sisters Saver Expires 6-27-17 Pet Urine & Stain Removal Carpet Stretching & Repair New Customer?
