Happy Thanksgiving!

New Director to be named to the CCIA Today

I read in today's News of Cumberland County that Steve Wymbs might be removed as the head of the Cumberland County Improvement Authority.
Well, my sources say its a DONE DEAL the CCIA board WILL dump Steve Wymbs and put Doug Rainear's brother Don Rainear as Executive Director. Some prominent politicians went to CCIA Trustee Sumner Lippincott and told him to be party loyal and let Steve go. Al Kelly has assured Lou that Sumner will fall in line this evening. the CCIA will change, and not for the better. What does Don Rainear know about managing a landfill or recycling?
Well, it appears that Lou will use his new and improved political muscle to control the CCIA and all that taxpayer money. Of course the local papers will just jot down the info...

If it were my dream..

Taxes would not rise after an election.

Lou Magazzu lost the election

I have no debt

I get all the overtime I want

Southern Dems don't control the health care debate

3rd Friday November 20 2009

3rd Friday came around this month. I was looking forward to getting home by 6-6:30 since I was driving to work instead of taking the 408 bus. I was driving to pick up used windows. . Went to Carl's book signing of his new book called Bar Exam at Bogarts Books. It was a festive event. Saw folks I used to see all the time who I have not seen in quite some time. I visited Isabelle and was told of a fun event at the Rainbow Lounge. It was here I was told of the latest Millville political goings on by another friend of mine. Of course the local papers did not cover them in deference to their boy Lou Magazzu who now with a win in this past election will I suppose, cash in and consolidate his hold on Cumberland County politics with deals and rewards for those who do his bidding. I am just fustrated that this kind of politics is coming closer to being the rule of the land in Millville, Vinland and Bridgeton. This will be investigated further in the future

Meanwhile, in more mundane news, Millville will be raising its real estate tax up by 9 cents per $100 assessed. The cost of health benefits will make up over 5 cents of the 9 cents. The Levoy Theatre renovation has begun! Great news it is for sure. I do hear that the political macinations are far from over. Well, its 6:19pm and I am having an early dinner.

Windows to the Future

Friday, I drove to work since I was in search of old discarded windows that were advertised on Freecycle on the web. I went to Overbrook at the 6400 block of Sherwood Road and could not find the windows. Carolyne told me over the phone that there were windows at 41st and Baltimore Ave. There were at least 40 of the them of all different sizes. I took as many as possible brought it home. I enjoyed Third Friday and will write about that later

Carolyne thought of the idea of using them instead of plastic. The plastic was a pain to install and we could not see though it. It tended to be blown and tear in the winter wind. I then took each of the windows and fit them over the screens. Then, next I drilled screws to hold them up. Today I then painted the windows a pink Next week, will get plexiglass for the screen dow and some clear plastic to fill in gaps. Meanwhile its another week of the welfare.

Swing on Down to IDEAL

Remember that commerical for this store called Ideal. It sang "If you got a passion for fashion and you got a craving for savings...
Well, a friend reminded that the same commerical would say. "Its not a Quonset Hut. I laughed so hard but asked what the HELL is a Quonset Hut.

Here is a photo of one. I guess we were still in a post WW2 mode.

Welfare Wakka of the Week

Hi
Well, thanks for visiting my blog. I have STILL not found my camera. Guess I have to save up and get another one. Welfare has been outta control with absences, SEPTA Strike and stupid directives from Management. We are expected to scan our own stuff. We have 1 flatbed scanner and 2 Xerox copiers for the entire staff that is not at the front desk or management. Next we have to issue transpasses for the 1st week the clients go to a program. This means they have to sign AMR come back to the office again, then they attend the program.
I have done alot of work that is not mine so I have not done any sanctions. Here is West District in action. It was the talk of the lunch room at the Elmwood District where I work. I am sure we will have to go to customer service training if the bosses watch this
