Dogs and cats must be left home to die, but you can keep cool.
ReplyDeleteIt should have been opened a week ago. Shame!
ReplyDeleteWho cares, homeless people go to the mall, library etc. Once again wasting tax payer money.
ReplyDeleteIf u can't afford an air conditioner you probably can't afford a pet.
ReplyDeleteA most excellent point.
DeleteWould be cheaper to give all the households that "can't afford" to keep cool, a ten dollar fan, a list of public swimming pools, and directions to the beach.
ReplyDeletethis is by no means a waste of tax payer money
ReplyDeleteI am just amazed at the love, kindness and compassion of my fellow humans.
