Something else I forgot to mention; a massive retaining wall is having to be built to create a level site for building. Storage sheds are being built against it for equipment like tractors and stuff.
Councillor Thompson sees it as an advantage. When I inquired what works or parks equipment needed to be stored indoors? . He replied he didn't suggest it. . He said a shed would make it more accessible.
Somebody mentioned this morning Councillor Ballard had referred to my blog in a tweat.
I don't tweat. So I have no idea what Councillor Ballard might be saying .
But the comment provides opportunity to explain what might be difficult to understand otherwise
Councillor Ballard and I are poles apart on many issues.
Others ....not so much.
We are not socially acquainted.
It's not a requirement.
I am aware he has been critical
It matters not.
For the purpose of Council, we are colleagues,
Being of like mind on town issues is not a requirement.
I have never had an uncivil exchange with Councillor Ballard, nor Councillor Gallo nor Councillor Gaertner .
I regard bad manners to be unacceptable in any circumstance.
On the
other hand, engaged in a struggle for dominance of ideas on a town issue, I would draw blood. metaphorically, if I had to.
I don't carry a notebook filled with grudges It would be altogether too much clutter.
On the other hand ...I don't forget much either.

Cllr Ballard's Twits aren't necessary for you to know about. They generally consist of references to how much better dogs are than people. I consider this an improvement from his earlier twits quoting Maggie Thatcher & Churchill.
I find it intriguing that he seems to have read your Blog and found something he liked in it. Sort of flattering ?
You are a lot more tolerant than I am, Evelyn. I won't forget that a kid from King called my neighbours & me -
'Rubes '
They are like the room-mates I had for 2 summers working out west. You get along OK but the ones you make lasting friends are more likely to live down the hall.
Is there always this underlying tension with a Council or does it primarily appear during an election ? I was just wondering if there could be a cohesive unit that might go out and share a drink after a lengthy session. I confess I'm only familiar with Aurora and can see no sign of such a thing happening.

Seems garbage collection is running a day late because they couldn't work Tues because of the extreme cold.
