I felt the Earth Move

 

Well all the doomsayers were out in force today.  The major earthquake that ravished the landscape hit London at 1:43 pm.  Cars were upended and dogs howled at the moon.  But the true earthquake was at London’s City Hall where our mayor  Anne Marie DeCicco-Best went toe to toe with one of the last ever Board of Control members Bud Polhill.  The cause of the ruckus you ask?  Why it was over spending some money doing renovations.  Now I’m not talking A&E home renovations,  I’m talking 1.5 million dollars to make our council room ‘modern’.  What do you think it would cost to make our council modern….hmm.  The bone that was being picked on was why spend the money now if your planning on not staying in the current building.  Some say that building a new city hall is way to costly at this moment and the renovations are way over due.  Others would say who actually goes there to watch the council at work.  Why not just slap a you-tube camera in a corner and give us a live feed like the World Cup Games.  If we need to have online voting because people can not be bothered to go out, do we need a modern council room for ….yawn …. their exciting meetings?  If we can’t you-tube them , then let’s at least have a live tweeter feed of the council minutes.  Ewwww the idea is sending shivers down my spine.

Also in today’s news was the dreaded Giant Hogweed.  This weed can cause blisters from the sap if exposed to sunlight.  Worst of all it can cause temporary or permanent blindness if the sap was to come in contact to the eye.  So please pay attention to the details of this weed and keep an eye out for your loved ones when strolling the riverbanks.

This summer seems like its off to a great start….earthquakes, deadly weeds and grandstanding from council…woohoo break out the sunscreen because I’m going in.
