  • I expect Black Friday to be a colossal FAIL this year.  It probably won't be, though.  And, there's one item that I'm going to be dragged out of bed at 2:30AM to be in line to get...I hate it.  Hate it, hate it, hate it.

    I have my opinions about Black Friday...about Christmas...about the whole thing.  Ah yes, I called it "drinking the eggnog" last year.

    Christmas lights...I semi-volunteered to put up the lights at City Hall this year.  I'll probably do it around the 1st of December.  (Provided I get the keys to City Hall.)

    The lights at Krug Park in St. Joseph are one of the few true pleasures of Christmas for me.  Another is the Christmas Eve service.

    I said the Grinch is one of my 2 favorite Christmas movies...the Grinch understood the culture. 



  • More random thoughts

    • Snow sucks. Barely made it home...with about 10 minutes to get to the council meeting
    • Heard the new Bon Jovi song - "we weren't born to follow". 
      (IMO - We can't NOT follow something - whether a code of ethics or a perceived wise person)
    • Note to self.  Check pants for holes before putting on.
    • The Bengals pick up Larry Johnson.  I imagine the tweets between LJ and Chad OchoCinco could be interesting.
    November 16 City Council meeting:
    • Treasurer resigned.  Made the senior member of the council (not me, not President of Council) the treasurer.  (Which means he has to sign city checks, along with the mayor.)
    • Still talking about the bus stop question.  Wondered who decides where the bus stops - district headquarters, or the bus driver?  It's a question of minimum distance vs. minimum stops.  (If we had a sheltered bus stop, the guys think, we'd just tell all the kids to go there.)
    • Some people could be helpful in making our town a better place to live...some by cleaning up, and some by shutting up.
    • I'm the only guy on the council with no real idea how to run the tractor.
    • Appropriate timing on bids for clearing streets.

  • Assuming I had much to say...heck, just hit "blog now" and start typing.
    • A week away from my 29th birthday.
    • An inch or so of snow...which makes driving a real pain.
    • I used to be a more prolific blogger - in real life and in political.
    • Census estimates say that every city in Doniphan County has lost population this decade.
    • "you'll only miss the man...that you wanted him to be...shut up and drive"
    • Wish I'd done the Friday Flyover last week.  It would've been near the France-Belgium border.
    • Surprised...down to 201 pounds.  Not trying to drop the pounds...but I was pushing 230 just a few months ago.  Or maybe more than a few months ago.
