Thank you to the Medicine Hat Pickleball Club for hosting a great tournament. We came from Kenosee Lake, Sask., and were not disappoint­ed with both the competitio­n and friendline­ss of the community.

Ticked Off

At the Post Office “system.” We have a mailbox key, no mailbox, no home delivery and have to drive to Kipling Street during office hours to get the mail. Not good enough.

If they would ban trophy hunting and trophy wives.

Tickled Pink

About all the people complainin­g about photo radar. It’s a lot cheaper than having a police officer give you a ticket. And if you don’t want a ticket, don’t speed.

Ticked Off

How many birds are killed by wind turbines, or by tall buildings? Maybe the people concerned by the oilsands can tell us that.

Ticked Off
