Mandate for Nuttin'

Hmmmm...17% of the voters voted...why's that? And then you get the Tri City News saying it was a sweep by the incumbents....gotta laugh at that one. Math's not my thing but if the incumbents got say 2/3s of the votes, that's like they got 12% of the registered voters to actually make the effort to go vote. Some mandate huh?

Ok, you might say that people were happy with what is that they saw no reason to go vote. Then you can say a lot of voters felt it didn't matter...I'd vote for that one for sure.

Ok, it's Sunday and in my world I need to get back to work....have a great one

Peter's Mint or Mercurey Retrograde

Derby day and Peter brought some mint from Kentucky....nice way to end the day here in the Little Apple....a nice Mint Julip....mmmmmm

I said to Pete last night "that was smooth for a Friday night." He was like "yeah, because the people that come out on Fridays are cool." Well, here it is Saturday night edging onto 1am. The Zombies came walking by early in the night and I guess our hurricane rated windows that leak let some of them in. Ok, it's First Saturday here in the Little Apple so it brings out some unknowns. The ones that ask for things that no one ever asked for before. You know the ones that make you reinvent the wheel without taking the car for a test drive.

The Maker's Mark of my mint julip won't allow me to be bitter and I don't feel that way at all. I guess I'm getting used to it. Unfazed by the petty shenanagins of the milleu. NJ Jaded.

Seems we are settling in. Anticipating the coming summer. Everyday is a new experience for us and everyone here on the boardwalk of the Little Apple.
