Funny thing I have noticed is that few of us are as good looking at 50 as we were at 30; at 60 or 70, we are for sure showing some wear and tear. But if one tries to look for something good in us, they will/ should get past that one is getting bald (even the ladies), maybe a few pounds heavier than 30 years ago and not quite as able to run a mile in combat boots in 5 minutes. I for sure can't anymore.
I try to be very respectful in avoiding those NOT in an Appointed/ Elected position. If they want to be part of the action, that is another story. But if they stay out of it; I for one will not bring them in if at all possible. But time will out as in most things. I expect after the other day to be personally attacked more and more often to hide alleged wrongdoing. Especially as I have made it clear that I am NOT leaving town. I like this Community and all the really good people in it. They deserve better...........
Seems as usual when someone is talking money for something some one is paying little or nothing. A good example is Mr. Flinn, an Asst. Superintendent I guess for Wood County. Says this new program called the School Building Authority. Says will cost Wood County people less to pay for say the new school in Williamstown. Would like to ask him; who do you (think), is putting up the money for the new program? Everybody but us in Wood County? Pay me now or pay me later; you will pay me as the saying goes. In this case, we pay TWICE. Always a line of B.S., to make people think the candy is free.
Had someone come up to me yesterday afternoon and ask me if the filing for City Council was still open? I said no, closed in January. Person was a little down on missing it I saw. So advised could file for a write in candidacy. A little tough but still a chance. Reply, "too much trouble and not worth it". I said, you said you wanted to be on the Council and you could do a good job? Seems if not worth the effort, than one would NOT do a good job.
DuPont as you all know went for a delay in further trials on the C8 until after the appeal on the first one was done. Judge said NO and I guess the game is on with more trials to come. Interesting I think?
Was told by a retiree from DuPont recently that he has gotten some idea that DuPont is trying to take their pensions away from them? He said because of all the cost on the C8 issue. I don't know they could take the pensions? Thought DuPont rank and file were Union? Is gonna put a big hurt on those guys if the pension plan gets busted all the way? Time will as in all things tell us more.
Was surprised that some of the City folks are still talking to me. But all stop as soon as Himself shows. Is always a chuckle to watch the behavior of grown adults who seem afraid to be human? 'nuff said'.
