✆ It’s Howdy-Doo-doo time. There’s too much of this dog waste around. People obviously need to be reminded to pick it up. The city should support clean-up efforts by posting signs and notices and the doggie houses, but don’t post them on the trees, as nails do damage trees. Instead, post them on street signs, telephone poles, street lamps and the like.
