To the editor:
Spring is near and soon the wild fruits and vegetables will be growing and ready for harvest — fiddleheads, strawberries, raspberries, apples and more. Picking these has been an accepted practice for many years. But wait, here comes Augusta closing in for further investigation on how this should be regulated.
When are they going to stop this type of lawmaking and get to work doing something useful. I am willing to bet that the trespassing laws we now have are more than adequate to handle any problems that may develop.
I believe that if Augusta would just go away on this one that it would take care of itself. This is not a battle between the north and the south. Does anyone realize how much of these fruits and veggies just rot on the vines unharvested? Lawmakers should find something to do that has slightly more meaning than this, then they may be able to accomplish something with some real meaning.
Well, I have to go now and call Augusta. I am trying to have toast with strawberry jam, but I don’t know if I should use white or wheat bread. I bet Augusta can help me with this one. What do you think?
