Dear Editor:
Now that I’ve joined the ranks of the senior senior citizens, I realize how much I appreciate all the help residents give me as I go about my business in the city of Palm Coast.
For instance, opening doors for me, grabbing items off the high shelves in the supermarket, the list goes on.
I would like to thank all the good citizens of Palm Coast (and you know who you are) — a great big thank you indeed.

Dear Editor:
My husband noticed something that completely eluded me: "Look at the people you allow to cross in front of you in a parking lot. They never wave or acknowledge you."
I didn't believe him, so I tested his observation. I drove back and forth in the Target shopping center in Palm Coast from Target to America's Best and back again. Not one person waved or looked my way.
It didn't matter if they were crossing at the crosswalk or not, it never happened. I thought maybe it was just the time of day, so I tested it out in the morning, afternoon and early evening. Nada. So, if a car stops for you to cross, it would be a nice gesture to nod, or wave or smile. It's not that hard to do.
