Saturday morning while I was wandering the highways and byways of Vienna, I had the chance encounter to meet up with our Mr. Leach. He was not happy with a blog I had written about him growing Pot. I said that Pot was an old colloquialism for Marijuana and that the Hemp he was growing were Marijuana Plants. He thought for a few seconds, guess he realized he was talking to a stupid person (which I have no problem admitting too), and got my point on what I had written. The rest of the conversation I am going to keep pretty much as a personal one even though a lot of ground was covered.
If you folks knew where he was planning to grow his 25 acres of Pot/ Marijuana, maybe some more hemp? You pick a word and follow the dots. So, I do believe he has or will very shortly have his license for the Franchise/ Monopoly going in here?
I did not get a chance to talk to him about his supposed little shop on Grand Central. It if is true he is going to put it in there, I would question just how stupid the City Council Planning Commission can be? And if I am right, he is on that Commission?
After a few minutes, he said he had to be in Charleston where the Teacher's were I guess protesting again. I can only suspect, he is representing some or all of a given group?
But he also has ideas on higher office, what better place to convince voters?
Was out on the Town Sunday Morning and noted that gas is down to $2.28 for the moment. Who knows where today?
Drove over by the Park to see what it looked like and it was a mess. Water all the way up by the tracks on the North end. Guess that drainage ditch works both ways by Harper's? The water was up to the Memorial base and along the edge of the parking lots. Don't think it has crested just yet? Plus more rain coming in the next week. We may have been very lucky it snowed so hard Sunday afternoon? Takes a bunch of rain to make an inch of snow. But, it will be melting so the issues will continue not just here, but upstream..
Interesting to think on the C8 in the air, the rain, the ground and how it will all make its way out to the Ohio and down stream as the flooding subsides? The mini golf could have doubled for a huge duck pond. I don't ever remember in my brief years here seeing it all so flooded along the West side of the tracks?
I am going to put a pretty interesting post out tomorrow (Tuesday), and see who really gives a Tinker's Damn not just about that area, but about those kids/ that school?
It is my hope, that none of the kids in that School get harmed by someone coming out of the Shop, that do not know how to control themselves?
It can be just driving while stoned; maybe giving some pot product to a kid who than gets into a whole lot of trouble? There is for sure, something missing in the mentality on 29th Street?
The Daily Blat in the 12 February 2018 "Their Opinions" Column talked about the issue with the PEIA payments and pay raises. As the Employees, mostly the Teachers and their group, made a lot of noise, crying and screaming, Mr. Justice found the $29 Million to keep premium at the current level for another year. No cost to the State Employees, but the usual unspoken Health Coverage costs. No one seems to want to talk about the 2% raise, plus the supposed 1 1/2% annual increases. That as noted before will be a 3 1/2% for one and all.
The boys and girls in Charleston or even here need to show what they will be getting as a Total increase package in wages and a freeze in the cost for the benefits.
Folks, you are getting played just like is going to happen here, maybe more so?
I do not think anyone does not deserve something? But as long as we believe the B.S., being fed to us, we are as I have noted, getting had.
This is nothing more than the Election Year kick in the you know what? The Legislature is so unprepared to address this issue and Mr. Justice is all in for the Votes.
This will cost a lot more than $29 Million dollars. "nuff said".
