LETTER: Uber and Lyft too risky during pandemic

In response to your recent story on Uber and Lyft:

I am retired and worked about eight hours on weekends. Because I have physical problems, I cannot do much more, but I made some extra money and got out of the house.

I have been told by many riders that they see a lot of drivers such as me who work part time. When COVID hit and the shutdown happened, I decided I had had enough. Too risky. I am sure a lot of older drivers feel the same. Perhaps when everyone gets vaccinated, the drivers will return.

LETTER: Clark County cracks down on street vendors

A lot of us walk or jog in the summer nights when it cools down. The juice vendor was a wonderful break before starting the return half of our exercise. Alas, never more.
