visits to household in China
Re: “Bay Space night time markets a foodie’s delight, with artwork distributors, music and extra” (Web page F2, July 2).
Thanks for sharing the details about the native night time markets, and with the ability to see the meals market pictures made me nostalgic.
The meals and music, particularly, made me consider the market that I visited whereas I used to be in China earlier than the pandemic. The circumstances made me recall the relations and mates in China as they’d been with me within the native night time market 4 years in the past.
Restricted flights from the US to China are the explanation that I stayed right here within the Bay Space this summer time, and because the summer time kicks in full gear, I hope that there will likely be extra direct flights to China in order that I can journey once more to see my household and mates.

Founding Fathers rightly
involved about faith
In response to the unique letter of June 30 (“Elimination denies cultural significance of the cross,” Web page A6) and the letter of July 5 (“Nation’s greatness rests on greater than Christianity,” Web page A7) concerning the cross on the hill and our “Christian values” as a rustic, our Founding Fathers have been justly involved concerning the potential pernicious impact of faith on the brand new nation.
I invite everybody to learn the final a part of the final sentence of Article VI of the Structure which reads, “… however no non secular check shall ever be required as a qualification to any workplace or public belief below the US.” As an extra exhibiting of the neutrality of the Authorities in the direction of any and all religions, George Washington visited a Jewish temple in Newport, R.i., the place he welcomed the Jewish individuals as equal Americans and declared that bigotry has no place on this nation.

Hauler making it
more durable to compost
I’m a agency believer in composting meals waste. After my trash service supplier requested us to begin composting, we went out and purchased a 3-gallon container and compostable baggage. We have been capable of cut back our trash by 50%.
Now, they are saying the luggage we’ve got been utilizing for a number of years aren’t compostable. They need us to place meals waste straight into the yard waste bin. They’ve additionally requested us to not put bins out until they’re full. It’s conceivable that uncooked meals waste will sit within the bin for a number of weeks.
The baggage we use are licensed as compostable. I’m hesitant to only toss my meals waste so it could sit within the warmth for a number of weeks. I believe they should enhance their course of so these baggage could be composted. I’ve kin residing in different cities who shouldn’t have this downside.

Court docket’s determination doesn’t
honor civil rights martyrs
We the individuals suffered an egregious blow to our freedom this vacation week from a Supreme Court docket that has till just lately been a protector of our rights. We’re being “groomed” for a return to the “good previous days” of being instructed, “We don’t serve your type right here.”
Within the ’60s I used to be with a gaggle that was refused restaurant service as a result of one in all our members was carrying a Star of David. That was the primary time I heard that unhappy phrase.
And but, that’s what the malefactors of nice energy in our wicked Supreme Court docket are setting us up for. They’re taking again the human rights that earlier generations of justices and lots of martyrs of the civil rights motion fought for and in some circumstances died for.
We should not allow them to achieve forcing us again to these grim earlier occasions.
