Last Update had an article about author Amy Alcon and her book Good Manners For Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck.  Update mentioned article in book about trash left on Venice curb and note Amy wrote to dropper.

Amy wrote back that in addition to the note, she further bundled up the trash and returned it to an address she found in trash.  All Update can say is “What a nice neighbor that is to take the time and spend the money to return an individual’s personal trash.”  That has got to be the epitome of good manners.

Amy, the “Advice Goddess,” is a syndicated columnist in 100 newspapers, the most local being the LA Weekly.

“I write an award-winning, science-based, nationally syndicated advice column that runs in about 100 papers across the U.S. and Canada. It runs locally in the LA Weekly (online only).
