It’s a sensible first line of defence. On my family’s farm, uninvited people too often drove onto our property, often at night—to cruise the machine shed, barn and driveway. Eventually we installed a stout gate, which we kept locked at night and when we went out, and the unwelcome incursions stopped. (We gave the gate lock combination to emergency services, as well as our trusted caretaker.) —Cia G. A LittLe Love My husband and I love our two Smart cars. A couple of years ago he got me a personalized plate that reads ITIBITI. I get a lot of pleasure seeing, in my rearview mirror, people smiling and taking pictures of the back of the car. I’m glad to see people get a chuckle out of that. We have a four-year-old granddaughter who used to have a tongue-twisting pronunciation for the phrase “a tiny little bit.” We loved the way she said it so much that last year I purchased a plate for my husband’s Smart car that reads BITILIT—our granddaugh- ter’s amusing pronunciation. We were very happy to get both of these personalized plates on our first try. —Susan S. Thanks, and You’re Welcome! I found the artIcle “Higher Learning” (Fall 2018), which dis- cusses the impact of cannabis on legislation and driving, to be very educational. I am the Reeve for Camrose County; we’re creating a bylaw to help deal with the issue of cannabis and driving. Information on the topic is valuable to us and your article will be very helpful to my fellow council members and our staff. —Don G. AMA InsIder WInter 2018 7
