Wow, when the season ends, it is an abrupt ending. It is much easier to cross M-22 now and unfortunately for the eating establishments, it’s easier to get a table.
I really hope everyone that was able attended the Emergency services/Fire Department 9/11 ceremony. I have to write this before the ceremony, but I am confident that the ceremony was as moving as ever. I am always disappointed that there are few people that attend the ceremony and as always, I hope this is not an indication of the lack of patriotism in our community. Anyone that knows me, knows I am proud and loud patriot. We will never forget.
Not much else can be said now, enjoy our weather, as I’ve said this is locals’ time.
Happy Birthday wishes to John Ives, Gillian Gietzen, Marilyn Rank, Karen Kramer, Dave Marmie, Maggie Bacon, Dan Ernst, William Howard Taft and a more than special happy birthday to my partner through thick and thin for 63 years and the mother of three great kids and now and now six tremendous grand kids, Dotti Thompson. She is a trooper.
Happy Anniversary wishes to Grace and Geno Novak, Angie and Joel Diotte, Leah and CT Turner, best regards to all.
I am not sure if anyone remembers these days, but I’ll give it a shot. Of course 9/11 is Patriots’ Day, 9/15 National POW/MIA recognition day, 9/17 Constitution day and Citizenship day, 9/18 Air Force Birthday. There also a few less honored, of course there is the ever popular Friday the 13th and 9/12 International Programmers Day (honest), 9//17 World Patient Day (really) and here is a biggie 9/18 International Equal Pay Day.
Mark Twain said “To lodge all power to one party and keep it is to insure bad government and sure and gradual deterioration of the public morals.”
Be Kind. Be Happy. Be Proud. Go Patriotism!
