Maybe you could make that a bit more clear.

Michael,
Second line "ad fount" ????
last word, last paragraph, "ternary"
Give me a hint on these, please.
I am assuming that your Rooney must not be licensed in the town of =
Westport. So now you can't legally bring the dog to the beach at all????

I'm glad to hear the RTM will be reviewing the latest =
winter regulation for Compo Beach. This is just another example of the =
overregulation we've been seeing in your town. I find it ad fount to the =
Connecticut Yankee spirit and to butcher a paraphrase "Another person's =
paranoia should not be my problem". To the best of my knowlege there =
have been no reported problems that demand a solution.=20
=20
I have three Daughters aged 7, 5 and 1, and our favorite winter =
activity is going to Compo Beach with our dog, I might add, with my =
wife's blessing, after a long winter week. We run around, walk the dog, =
dig the sand, climb the jetties, play fetch in the water, collect rocks =
and shells and generally are a family. The girls love the playground. I, =
being a reasonable parent, keep a watch on them all. Dozens of times a =
day little ones come to pet and meet Rooney, our dog. We've done this =
for years, as have other parents, and there has never been a problem. So =
what are these new rules about? Am I going to be forced to break the law =
by having Rooney with me or to break the law by not supervising the =
children. Or better yet maybe I should leave the kids at the house while =
I take the Rooney to the beach? How much family time do any of us have?=20
=20
I am a normal guy, humble, hard working with the Metro North =
monthly ticket, up early and home late. I am not a member of PETA, or an =
activist at the town meetings. Nor, am I one of these folks that think =
dogs are people. I have never been disappointed in Westport until now. =
Never before have I seen an issue forced through by the few wielding =
power in the face of such strong opposition. =20
=20
Scrap the new rules. There is no problem at Compo Beach, this is =
truly a non-issue. Only problem is in the minds of bored people with not =
enough to do and the effects of their itinerary.
