Wow! Now Tazewell county has a new command
post truck and it was a bargain at around a $250,000. They spent more money on this stupid truck than my house is worth
and their bragging about it? Does anyone else suspect our local government
might have a problem with priorities?

Another rebuttal to the ongoing
battle in the Pekin Times about Pekin Gas management’s decision to make
people pre-pay for gas. I HAD to send in my own 2¢ worth as follows: Re: The voice of reason:
While I agree with some of what Ms. Horn of Clarksville, TN had to say
about how Pekin Gas is attempting to solve their problem -- I have to say I
think she is missing the point made by myself and others who are “giving them a
hard time”. To be blunt, why should ALL of the customers be punished for
the sins of a very few? I repeat, how can they complain that after making
their customers wait on themselves in order to make more money they now want to
further inconvenience those customers by requiring them to also pay in
advance. What’s next? Will we all have to take turns mopping the
floors and washing the windows too? I don’t work at that gas station and I
don’t appreciate being required to do THEIR bidding to insure they make more
money. Fortunately I can and do buy my fuel elsewhere now and I think that
is the best way to address the problem. Had everyone refused to pump their
own gas back in the 70s, we wouldn’t have this problem today.
I can’t help it, I just can’t pass up an argument!

At around 8:30 this morning Tracey noticed this bird in the tree just north
of our sunroom. We are pretty sure it is a Peregrine Falcon. It sat
in the tree for quite a while, even after Tracey left for work at 9:00
a.m. It is a beautiful bird and one of the many reasons we so enjoy living
out here in the sticks.
Here are some Old Jokes sent to me from my Aunt Jackie.
