My letter to the Georgia Department of Transportation

Who is in charge of installing traffic lights? Do they drive anywhere these lights go up? If they did, I would think they would put more thought into their installation.

The lights in this city are ill-timed, if timed, and likely, are not timed, turning from red to green whenever. This is probably one of the most significant contributors to traffic congestion.


Georgia DOT's solution to all traffic issues: more lights!

So my question is, what qualifications do you need, and what sort of accountability measures are standard for the people who make the traffic signal decisions. I know some downs syndrome kids and a monkey who could do a better job with this than whoever is doing it throughout Fulton and Cobb county.

Specifically though, and in all seriousness, the lights on 17th and McCaslin by Atlantic Station are absolutely unnecessary. And if they have to be there, make them smarter. They hinder through traffic on 17th, which actually has cars driving down it.

Secondly, the light on State St and North Avenue is useless. All you need is a sensor for State St traffic because otherwise, there's no reason for North Avenue to catch a red there. State St is not that busy.

Since the public you are supposed to serve can't seem to hold you accountable, please try to respect yourselves and do your very best at work. What you have been doing is haphazard and irresponsible at best.

Kiss of a Dolphin, written by Dreams for Kids founder and President, Tom Tuohy, was featured at the Maui Writers Conference and was premiered at Soldier Field in Chicago, has been praised as “amazing…a remarkable story of courage and fear...a powerful book – reminding anyone of all that is right in the world."

Hey Joe! How's it going? I've got a Papyrus sighting for you. Peace, Ty

The character Jan Levensen from the NBC show The Office, has rolled out a new line of scented candles named "Serenity by Jan" sporting a logotype with non-other than Papyrus:

Hope all is well with you Ty. Thanks a lot!
