Commuting & Comments of June 3rd







Its Wednesday now and its looking like more thunderstorms are on the way. The NJ primary was pretty anti-climactic for sure. As a Democrat, there were no real choices except for Lauren VanEmbden. Steve Lonagan the mayor of the Bogeta Casino lost so no tax increase for folks making less then 40K. Oh well.
The independent Dems have picked a campaign manager and turned in their petitions. This is making big Lou nervous. Sources tell me that he is making deals with a certain Republican to run a "clean" campaign. Oh really??? Also he is applying pressure to remove person''s from certian positons. If the Republicans fall for this one well, they will get beat by Lou again. This is why we need strong independent Democrats with experience and good ethics.
As for Chris Christie, well I will reserve judgement on him for now.
Yesterday, traffic was really crappy. I drove my KIA loaner car though nice traffic jams. Driving down Chestnut Street near 30th, I noticed that the old 30th post office is being renovated. The University of Pennsylvania bought the building. We will see what its going to be. I think it will be offices and stores but I am not sure. I then walked our dogs at the foot of the Maurice River at the city park. That was nice for sure. Work on our backyard Studio is moving along as you can see from the the photo. The Fithian House Gallery will be featured in the "My Art, My Millville" advertising campaign for this 3rd Friday.
I missed the early City Commission meeting yesterday. I hear that the Millville First members were the ONLY folks who did not stand and applaud a Millville Policeman retiring after 23 years on the force. Now that is class. The city is holding the tax rate steady and reducing hours at Union Lake to save money. This is showing that the present City Commission is being honest stewards of our taxpayer money and why a majority who voted entrusted them for 4 more years.
Anyway my 2001 Toyota Corolla should be back by NEXT Friday. I have some pet sitting gigs to work on this week and meeting someone to get his keys in old Philly. That man who raped the 11 year old got some good old street justice yesterday. I do not like violence but in this case this creep deserved it. Its good folks cared enough to stop him till the police arrived.
Well, off to my 50 mile commute. The Toyota is at 91,500 and counting to over 25,000 miles per year.
