MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL.
HEY, I DON'T CARE WHAT RELIGION YOU ARE OR IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE. MERRY CHRISTMAS. TO ALL OF MY JEWISH FRIENDS ACROSS THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS, I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD HANUKKAH.
DECEMBER 25, 2010 COINCIDES WITH WHAT ALL OF OUR CALENDARS SAY, THE DATE SINCE CHRIST. PLEASE FORGIVE ME LOCAL ATHEISTS, SERIOUSLY. THOUGH, I HAVE TO ADMIT, EVERY TIME YOU WOULD ASK ME TO PROVE TO YOU THERE IS A GOD EVERY TIME I WOULD ASK YOU TO PROVE TO ME THERE WASN'T. HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THAT DEBATE WOULD LAST? CAN YOU IMAGINE? (GIGGLE, GIGGLE, I'm being facetious, I should say). HO! HO! MERRY CHRISTMAS! GOD BLESS US ALL.
NEXT, MORE CLOSER TO HOME DID YOU READ WHERE THE NEW ALBANY CITY'S BUDGET WILL CONTINUE TO HEMMORAGE BECAUSE THAT LITTLE OLD PAST DUE LOAN UNDER OVERTON'S ADMINISTRATION (HOW LONG) JUST WON'T GO AWAY. I HAVE TO ADMIT, I AM LAUGHING OUT LOUD. YOU MAY JUST NEED TO KNOW THE HISTORY AS TO WHY I AM LAUGHING, OUT LOUD.
DID YOU NOTICE THE LOCAL TWITTER BUZZ CONCERNING PRICE? IF THERE ARE THREE (3) PEOPLE RUNNING, INCLUDING PRICE, HE WOULD WIN. DO YOU THINK THIS FACT MAY TELL YOU SOMETHING? MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, THE NOT SO RICH; NOT IN BUSINESS; BARELY MAKING IT BY INDIVIDUALS APPROVE OF PRICE VOTING NO ON THE FINANCIAL ISSUES. SURE, YOU MAY HAVE A BUR UP YOUR HINDSIDE BECAUSE OF OTHER VOTES AND BECAUSE PRICE IS A REALLY EASY TARGET FOR THE PEN, BUT, DOESN'T REALITY USUALLY BITE? DOES THIS FACT TELL SOME HOW A CERTAIN GROUP OF VOTERS THINK? THE VOTER THINKING THIS WAY ARE PAYING THE BILLS THAT KILL, i.e., AS IN MELLANCAMP'S SONG.
THE BRIDGE TOLL OR TOLLS OR NOT IS AN ISSUE (NOT NEEDED NOW) THAT BITES YOU IN THE REAR END. AS A LABOR SUPPORTER I CRINGED WHEN THE UNION(S) NEEDING THE JOBS SEEM TO BECOME MORE OF AN ISSUE THAN THE EXTRA (AT LEAST) $60.00 PER MONTH WE ARE STARTING TO BUDGET FOR.
I HATE THE NEW BICYCLE LANES ON CHARLESTOWN ROAD. THE LANE GOES OUT CHARLESTOWN LANE SO FAR AND THEN ENDS. THE LANE COMES IN CHARLESTOWN ROAD AND THEN ENDS. THE LANES DO NOT JOIN UP NOR ARE THEY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD. ONE BICYCLE LANE ENDS IN A TURN LANE ONTO SILVER. WHO THE HEY AND WHAT THE HEY? AS OF TODAY I HAVE YET TO SEE ANYONE, ON ANY STREET, IN A BICYCLE LANE. HAVE YOU? YOU DO KNOW THEY PLAN TO PUT THEM ON SLATE RUN ROAD, DON'T YOU? FORGET TRAFFIC MAY TRAVEL TOO FAST (VIOLATION OF SPEED LIMIT) BICYCLE LANES MAY (MAY) SLOW TRAFFIC DOWN. IS IT WRONG FOR ME TO THINK WHAT THE HEY?
DID YOU SEE ROAD UPDATES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AND CITY DURING OUR BAD WEATHER THE OTHER NIGHT VIA FACEBOOK? VERY INTERESTING. GO AWAY OLD MAN WEATHER. WE ARE DONE WITH YOU. EVERYONE SAID THIS WOULD BE A WARM WINTER AS OF LAST YEAR; BUT THEN SOME PEOPLE SAID I MUST NOT HAVE READ THE FARMER'S ALMANAC FOR THIS YEAR. HAD TO ADMIT NO, I HAVE NOT. DAGGONE IT.
VICIOUS LITTLE CIRCLE CONCERNING THE MONEY OWED TO FOX AND COTNER (& THE OTHER WHO'S NAME I FORGET) ABOUT THE SEWER MONEY GEORGETOWN OWED DON'T YOU THINK?
THEY SUED IN THE NAME OF THE SEWER BOARD IN ORDER TO PROVE GEORGETOWN OWED US X AMOUNT OF $$$$$ (DOLLARS) AND WON. SOMEONE (WHO?) DECLARED GEORGETOWN WOULD JUST GET OFF OF NEW ALBANY'S SEWERS (EVEN THOUGH THEY ONLY SEND LIQUIDS) AND BUILD THEIR OWN PLANT (WHICH WILL HANDLE ONLY LIQUIDS FOR THE GEORGETOWN AREA) AND IT WOULD BE IN EVERYONE'S BEST INTEREST NEW ALBANY NOT COLLECT THE OLDDDLLLDDD PAST DUE MONEY (SCREW NEW ALBANY SEWER PAYERS). YES, WE OWE THE MONEY. YES, WE SHOULD MAKE THE SEWER BOARD PAY IT.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT NEW YEAR. 2011 WILL PROBABLY CONTAIN EVEN MORE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENINGS OR EVENTS, BUT IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.
PEACE, LOVE AND HAPPINESS TO ALL.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE INTERNET?
THE ARTICLE YOU POSTED PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THE WIKI LEAKS (ONGOING SAGA). DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE INTERNET IN GENERAL IS DOMINATING THE NEWS AND HAVE OUR FAMILY TALKING ABOUT INTERNET POWER, INTERNET ETIQUETTE, THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION, AND THE POWER OF KNOWLEDGE.
IT'S TRUE THE INTERNET HAS OPENED DOORS NO ONE EVER IMAGINED AND HAS CREATED MILLIONS OF JOBS. IT'S ALSO TRUE THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND THE INFORMATION POSTED THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET (WHETHER IT'S CORRECT OR NOT) HAS BECOME AN ISSUE IN AND OF ITSELF, ALONG WITH ETIQUETTE AND TEACHING OUR YOUNG ONES INTERNET ETIQUETTE.
WE AGREED SCHOOLS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TEACH INTERNET ETIQUETTE BUT SHOULD COME DIRECTLY FROM THE PARENTS (AFTER ALL, THAT'S WHERE CHILDREN LEARN HOW TO ACT AND SPEAK). IF THE ADULTS ARE POSTING AND TALKING TRASH THEIR CHILDREN SURELY WILL. BUT, WHAT IF THE ADULTS DOING SOME OF THE POSTING, ETC., DON'T HAVE CHILDREN AND AREN'T WORRIED ABOUT THE ISSUE?
THE NOW INTERNATIONAL DEBATE AND PROTESTING AND COMPUTER HACKING RELATED TO WIKI LEAKS IS, TO US, ALMOST OVERWHELMING. WE WERE TALKING WITH NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS IN A SMALL SETTING AND A RETIRED SCHOOL TEACHER WAS THE ONLY PERSON TAKING ISSUE WITH WHAT WIKI LEAKS PUBLISHED AND WHETHER THEY HAD THE RIGHT TO DO SO. THE MAJORITY, WHO UNDERSTOOD WHAT WE WERE SPEAKING ABOUT, FELT THIS SITE HAD EVERY RIGHT TO PRINT THE INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
WE WERE RAISED BEING TOLD KNOWLEDGE IS POWER AND THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR IGNORANCE. AT THE SAME TIME, THERE WERE NO COMPUTERS AND THE WORLD HAS CERTAINLY LEAPED FORWARD THROUGH THE INFORMATION AGE.
ISN'T AUSTRALIA A "LIBERAL" COUNTRY? THEIR PUBLIC STATEMENTS ON THE WIKI LEAK'S SAGA IS "IT IS OUR COUNTRY'S FAULT". PERSONALLY, ALL I KNOW IS I FEEL STRANGE IN EVEN SPEAKING AND WRITING ABOUT THE SUBJECT. THEN AGAIN, WHAT DO I KNOW?
