You should have put in for the city manager job.

Not true. They also receive sponsorship money.

I'm not a brown nose, so there is no chance of getting hired. They wanted a yes man that won't question them on anything. They originally planned to hide something on the ballot that would have abolished the city manager position and gave all power to council with nobody to answer to. They don't know it, but I was the person that exposed that plan.

Of course but that’s it. They have to pay for everything out of that. Bigdog has city budget money that lowers the cost.

It's going to be a great 1st day with the middle SD and all in the house. The power is out all throughout King George. The Middle SD was going to take the people who helped them pack up for a meal and everything is closed. I checked Dominion Energy and they expect power to be restored anytime between 4 and 7. The Middle SD had to go by and pick up our Son since he stopped taking his key after the new garage door opener with keypad went in so he was stuck outside. My wife told her to bring him back across the bridge and we'd take him to dinner after my wife's orthopedic appointment is over.

Apparently not based on his post. The city just steals their sponsorship money.

Middle SD picked up our Son and he's eating at the Mexican restaurant we like over in La Plata. Hopefully, the outage doesn't last until 7PM or later.

If it’s anything like outages where I live tack on an extra 2 hours.

Way to punish him…he’d be eating gruel for a month if my kid were caught stealing.

I think I made some people mad around town. They were talking about these "protests" going on at college campuses all over the country. How these kids are "heroic" for standing up for what they believe in. All I said is "I think its about time to pull the Kent State play on them". Now I'm heartless.

Just saw my first horse race live. Good times. We bet on 5 races and I picked the winner once.

That’s not bad for horse racing. I haven’t been to live races since I left New York.

We got our refurbished right from the manufacturer. Normally $175 and we paid $70.
