WHEW! TOO MUCH TURKEY

A GOOD THANKSGIVING WAS HAD BY ALL OF ME AND MINE THOUGH WE MAY HAVE TO ADMIT WE ATE TOO MUCH!

AND, THE THINGS WE DISCUSSED AT THE KITCHEN TABLE, WHEW! MAYBE WE SHOULD COIN IT "THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY" (credit Clint on that one).

WHERE DO WE START? SATURDAY WAS A GOOD DAY IN DOWNTOWN NEW ALBANY. A LOT OF PEOPLE SHOPPING AT STORES THEY'VE NEVER BEEN TO, A LOT OF GOOD FOOD EATEN AND A LOT OF FRIENDS OUT AND ABOUT. SOMETIMES WE WORRY ABOUT ALCOHOL SPONSORED FUNCTIONS BY THE CITY (BASED ON LAWSUITS AGAINST COMPANIES AND THEIR CHRISTMAS PARTIES), BUT HEY. WE GUESS THAT'S THEIR PROBLEM. WAIT A MINUTE - THEIR PROBLEM IS OUR PROBLEM - BUT HEY, WE CAN'T STOP THE FREE WINE AND BEER. WE SAW A VERY BAD WRECK ON SPRING RIGHT BEFORE STATE STREET AROUND 1:30 AM BUT WE CAN'T CONTRIBUTE THIS INCIDENT TO THE FESTIVITIES DOWNTOWN.

WE ARE GLAD TO SEE THEM USING THE BIG GREEN MACHINE THE CITY WORKS ON THE PARKING GARAGE WITH TO HANG CHRISTMAS LIGHTS THIS WEEKEND RATHER THAN OUR FIRE TRUCKS AND FIRE MEN. WHO EVER THOUGHT OF THAT IDEA WE GIVE A THUMBS UP TO.

GOOD ARTICLE ON THE POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE NUMEROUS DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS BELONG TO AND THE LEADER, VICKI. HANG IN THERE.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE SEWER LINES IN THE SEJ NEIGHBORHOOD BEING "Y'D" (TIED TOGETHER) WHICH ARE AS ILLEGAL AS HEY. WE FELT THE DEVELOPER PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE PADDED HIS ESTIMATE ON THE CONTRACT TO COVER UNFORESEEN COSTS (THAT'S BUSINESS). BUT, WE DO NOT FEEL THE CITIZENS SHOULD PAY TO CORRECT THESE LINES. THE CITY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THEM AND WORK SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THEM LONG BEFORE MR. PAUL GOT IN THERE. THIS ISSUE IS EXACTLY WHY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT STAYS ON NEW ALBANY'S BUTTOCKS AND WE CAN'T GET THEM OFF. WHY DIDN'T THEY GIVE MR. PAUL THE SEWER MAPS?

WE TALKED ABOUT THE WIKILEAKS WEB SIGHT. WE CHECKED THE SIGHT OUT BEFORE THEY WERE BLOCKED YESTERDAY AND READ THE NEW YORK TIMES ACCOUNTS. FASCINATING HOW TECHNOLOGY HAS OUT PACED WORLD GOVERNMENT BUT THEN TECHNOLOGY HAS OUT PACED PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING, DON'T YOU THINK?

SPEAKING OF TECHNOLOGY, TODAY IS SUPPOSE TO BE CYBER MONDAY. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE SUPPOSEDLY GOING ON THE INTERNET TO BUY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. DOES THAT MEAN CORPORATE EMPLOYEES, PRIVATE BUSINESS EMPLOYEES AND GOVERNMENTAL EMPLOYEES ARE USING "THEIR" COMPUTERS? IT BEGS THE QUESTION!

WE WILL LET YOU CARRY ON WITH THE DISCUSSIONS OF WHAT YOUR FAMILY MAY HAVE TALKED ABOUT OVER THE TURKEY AND HAM.
