Dear Fix-It Guy: I wonder if you can help me. When we put up our storm windows this winter, we noticed that there's a crack in one of them, and it's letting in a lot of cold air. How do we fix it?Signed,Bob and Alice WoodsPortland, Oregon

Dear Bob and Alice: Well, it looks like you need a new storm window! But if you can't afford a new one right now, you can always go to the hardware store and get a plastic sheet to put over your window on the inside. It may not look pretty, but it will cut down on a lot of the cold air until you can replace the window. Sincerely,The Fix-It Guy

LETTERS

Irony at its finest

Last week, the Hero Springs Herald published a story that said that city officials are considering changing the name of the Monty Burns Expressway to the George Washington Expressway. If officials are going to waste taxpayers' money to make new street signs and so forth, the name should at least be accurate. "Expressway" is quite the misnomer. There is nothing "express" about this road because traffic is always backed up. Maybe "Snail Path" would be more fitting.

LITERARY POINT OF VIEW: 300

Alfonso's parents never expected much from him. It is not that they did not love him, but rather that they had watched him develop many bad habits when he was growing up. They watched him abandon projects because he felt he was not working to his full potential. They watched him jump from interest to interest, rarely focusing on anything. They thought these habits would set him up for failure. They were wrong. Alfonso began learning and writing about music when he was 15. His tendency to quit working on something that did not live up to the expectations he had for himself made him a great editor of his own work. His tendency to jump from interest to interest made him knowledgeable about many different kinds of music. Today, Alfonso is a well-known writer. His parents are quite proud of him.
