if the turn around on northern ave ever gets finished
nor do i care if george thinks i am a bigger asshole than my friend john
i could care less of all of downtown drowns in a sea of card board on the busiest day of the season
i really do not care if my punctution or spelling or grammer is ever kerect.
i do not care if the castle cable tv reception has more snow than we saw today
it does not bother me that our entire vb all ran unopposed
i do not care that the new dock is wider than it should be
could care less about the sunshine and open meeting laws
if a politician manages to stay on a board for over 30 years
if the sewer projects makes it or not
if the mayor and his wife have an entire wardrobe with mayor and mrs mayor emblazoned all over
if the vb all gets shirts that say i am with stupid
if all the bars downtown go topless
sign ordinance does not bother me....i hope every square foot of sidewalk is covered with them
that the police budget is growing exponentially
about tazers and tactical weapons or the bikes that will never get used
if the local politicians laugh like little kids because i have given up
nor does it bother me if the dpw buys a whole fleet of trucks and beats the shit out of them
it does bother me that the vb will try to get rid of jimmy the meter man
but i am working on not caring about that also
if i ever step into the big m
that i am a loser and that nobody respects my blog
i really do not care if i never see the words anonymous said ever again
those are just a few things i do not care about.....the list is long....I am gonna take the whole list of things i used to care about and put it in a bucket and label it the fuckit bucket.......end rant.....end blog
Late last summer the Village Board decided to put a turn around at the end of the Northern Ave. It was to help the snow plows and garbage trucks maneuver on the dead end street. At the time I thought this was a good idea. There was some concern about this and several residents of Northern Ave attended a VB meeting. One concern was the wild life that occupied the wooded area at the end of the street. Deer, geese, loons, rabbits, and foxes have been seen at the edge of the woods. Another concern was how will it look? DPW Supt. Millett said that he would keep an eye on the project and make sure that it was finished.
Lets get back to the wild life. Supposedly, somebody called the D.E.C. and blew the whistle on the village. This could have been somebody that lives on the street or it could have been whomever Does it really matter who called the D.E.C.? Not really, but the fingers were pointing and somebody was going to suffer. Just recently the Mayor felt Obligated to call the D.E.C. because someone supposedly dumped an unknown liquid down a village storm drain. That did not seem to bother the Mayor, not one little bit.
Below are pictures that I took today of the turn around at the end of Northern Ave. It is obviously Not finished, but I am sure it will be finished sometime...........It is an eye sore, actually an embarrassment. I have seen the work that our Village DPW does and most of it is top quality. So why does this turn around look jagged, it does not even resemble a cul de sac. The answer is simple.......the Village Board is holding a grudge by leaving this eyesore as is, so the people on that end have to look at it everyday. I know what some of you are thinking.....maybe it is a case of out of site out of mind. This could be, but I doubt it.......click the thumbnail below for a map of why I don't believe it is an over sight.
I was at a place today where I feel very comfortable. In my element so to speak. It is a place where you never know what is going to happen....or when! I love that feeling, it is exhilarating. Drinking a cup of coffee, a friend popped in and dumped a comment and then he was gone as quick as a fart dissipates in the wind. It was his attempt at a kick in the nuts. Let me share it with you....
Jim, why can't your blog be more like Mayor Graham's blog.....can't remember what he said after that, because I tuned him out. But I told old ****** doodle that Jeff Graham is a pro and deals with politics not only on the local but county, state, and federal levels. I am just an amateur local political blogger nothing more. His comment was almost like saying to one of your kids...."why can't you be more like your brother"!
...But the poor cable reception will remain. Looks like we are stuck with Castle Cable TV. The VB made an attempt to get Time Warner into our village, but unfortunately it is a "no go"! After you watch the all to familiar snowy channel from this Poltergeist clip, listen to the short audio clip from last weeks VB meeting.
