ASK YOURSELF THIS:
By Sue Pascoe · May 20, 2026
Let’s say you lend your car to a nice person you thought you knew. Then, they not only total your car, but kill someone else in the accident. Could you forgive them if they expressed deep remorse and wanted to show you, they had changed? Maybe. But if they asked to borrow a car from you again, would you let them? Never.
OPTIMIST MEETING TOMORROW:

BETTER EDUCATED:
This editor ranted about a social media company yesterday that allows all sorts of disparaging remarks. One reader explained, “30% of comments are normally bots or marketing campaigns to incite a reaction.” It worked; it got a reaction from this editor. But now, that I’m aware, I’ll either stop reading them or . . . .maybe I’ll see if I can do better at saying outlandish things 😊.”
MORE WATER:
A reader wrote: “Wouldn't it be nice if LA had two reservoirs of water to help fight the Semi Valley fire? But don’t despair, one reservoir WILL have water, IN THE LATE FALL.” (At the AECOM meeting last night, they said the reservoir would have water in December.) The reader added, “My calendar says that is after summer. Is Mayor Karen Bass planning a summer, fall vacation return to Ghana??”
