Yes, we apparently showed some intruders the door last evening here at our senior highrise. They were none other than the mayor and his too-numerous entourage, who were asked to leave, I'm told, because they insisted on knocking on our individual doors.
I refused to answer my door - nothing new there - but jeepers, one would think that repeated requests not to disturb our elderly residents wouldn't fall on such tin ears. Speaking of tin ears, we had another bad incident where the perpetrators parked in our lot and then one of them jumped an elderly resident when he was en route from his car to the front door. This old gent takes a drug that thins his blood as a preventative against blood clots and he bled profusely. A life-threatening incident from the sound of it. I do hope our civic leadership, whomever they turn out to be, can embrace the notion that seniors have the right to peaceful enjoyment of their "golden" years. Putting these two examples of selective deafness together would make a nifty editorial cartoon had I only the drawing skills to render same. Fred Markus, Phillips West REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
