IS IT POSSIBLE that the Ebola virus can withstand normal sterilization temperatures and techniques and that’s why so many assistants and doctors have fallen? — S.W.

DOWN THE TOILET again. Eclipse was not the first to try to sell a tiny jet and they won’t be the last. Kind of like that flying car they were always promising. — J.S.

EXCUSE ME , but why should the Rail Runner be at fault. It did not jump the tracks and hit someone. Please, when are we going to take responsibility for our own actions? Someone please stop the senseless lawsuits. — T.D.K

THE N.M. RAIL Runner Express serves a vital function for many of us commuters. There’s no worry about tailgaters, accidents or road rage encounters. With gas prices the way they are, the train ride is a bargain. Rail Runner is unique to New Mexico and we should support it all we can. — D.P.N.

I ANSWER THE telephone for a large corporation, “Good morning, X,Y, Z & Associates,” and am so weary of callers who mock me with “Hello X, Y, Z & Associates.” Don’t they realize how disrespectful that is to the person on the switchboard? — M.B.

TO THE OWNER of the blue vehicle which I stupidly pulled in front of on Unser recently: I screwed up and I sincerely apologize for causing your heart to lurch into your throat! I deserved the middle-digit salute you so violently waved in my direction. — L.M.

I WAS DISTRESSED to read that the exhibit of models of some of the great sailing ships of the 19th century was about to be replaced by an exhibit about certain extinct otters. Yesterday, I took my five-year-old grandson to this exhibit and we very much enjoyed the model boat exhibit. A place should be found for these beautiful models. — R.L.B.

I HOPE THE US Fish and Wildlife Service has a good supply of wolves … they will need them when they try to repopulate north of I-40. — R.W.

IT SEEMS ODD that people who live with the wolves and the problems they cause with their livestock and wildlife are opposed to the wolves, and those who live a long way off and do not have to live with the consequences personally are for the wolves. — J.S.
