This cleaner helps the environment

We wish to commend Cleaner 2000 for allowing us to make an important positive change for our environment and our family. Having been customers of Cleaner 2000 since its opening, we can recommend its unique "wet cleaning" procedure. All types of fabrics have been returned to us clean and fresh without the chemical odor associated with traditional dry cleaning. Feeling particularly good about the environmental improvement this cleaner's procedures promote, we recommend its service to others.

Misty comes home after 17 days, nights

After 17 days and nights, I was desperate to find Misty, my Irish wolfhound mix. She had been running wild somewhere between Campbell and Big Basin.

I hired the Sherlock Bones pet detective. I sent out 1,000 postcards with Misty's picture on them and 500 fliers on telephone poles. I even tried to get the search and rescue team to look for her, but they couldn't. My son searched the Saratoga mountains for days and we realized it would take a miracle to find her.

On Wednesday, Cheryl Kleder of Pet Network called and suggested maybe a pet psychic could get Misty to go to her place on Pierce Road. I was dubious but Cheryl said we had nothing to lose. Cheryl sat at her front window drawing a map for the psychic. "There's two trees to the left, below a creek, ravine and at the very top of the mountain is a great big brown house," she said. She looked again. There was Misty right there in front of the house. Cheryl called my son and he drove there in minutes. Misty recognized my son and crawled to him.

We are the happiest family. Misty lost 13 pounds in 17 days but is healthy. We were so lucky.

Measure G thing is way out of hand

I am delighted to see that there may be a recall election in this fair city [Letters, May 15, Saratoga News]. After the recall is successful, then all of the organizers of Measure G can sign up and run for a city office. Then they will be able to implement their initiative any which way they want.

After all, if the council doesn't know the intent of the writers (and voters), maybe the writers and voters (and all of the fair people in Napa) didn't do a good job of putting things down in the first place. One person is not able to fully implement the intent of the other unless the first person makes himself clear.

The Measure G thingie is way out of hand. It never should have gone as far as it did. If things are not going "right," we always have the ability to vote the rascals out, or even recall them. Now we have Measure G and are also talking about recalling the rascals, and then voting in other rascals.
