I love Roman Numerals but I really don't get why clocks use IIII instead of IV for four. It doesn't make any sense. Life is full of little quirks it would have been impossible any for one person to design. I gotta get rid of my cat. That thing is just a ridiculously dirty ball of fur. Every day he leaves his disgusting muddy paw prints all over my bathtub and I'm constantly picking up wads of his matted fur the size of mice. Then there was that time I found a real dead mouse behind Koko's bed. It was a gift from Howard Moses. That's our cat, and he gets no pseudonym protection like Poopsie, Koko and soon-to-be-Yanna. His real name is Howard Moses, but we call him "HoMo" for short.
Wait a minute. What was I talking about? Oh yeah- those debates from last week that I took notes on- I was going to write them up last Tuesday, but of course got too caught up making the photo collage and pushed it off- then the storm hit, and life swept me further down the river and I never even watched any more debates. Now I'm going to hastily grind out the story of the two (one and a half) I did watch, a week late. The product will be shabby, but at least it will exist. That's what makes this blog one of Burlington's Premier Online Political Gossip Rags. The fact that it exists.
Technical problems prevented video for the first few minutes of the debate between the three candidates (Ed Adrian (D), Dick Bove(I) & Megan Munson-Warnken (P)) running in the special Ward One election to replace Ian Carlton. Carlton, an attorney who is leaving the council halfway through a two year term is the current city council president.
My notes begin with Dick Bove saying he tried to kill urban renewal in 1965, but Frank Cain (who would be mayor a few years later) cast the deciding vote in favor of it...
...Ok that's enough for tonight. I'm going to watch Leno with Poopsie. I'll finish this later...

Do you really call your cat "HoMo"?
ReplyDeleteI laughed so hard when I read that line. I was still laughing a while later when I thought about it again.
It's just that it is so wrong, it's funny. I have one of those warped senses of humor.
Does that make me a bad person?
Well we mostly call him Howard nowadays, but we still call him HoMo sometimes. I didn't realize it was "so wrong" or that funny, but I don't think laughing at it makes you a bad person.
ReplyDeleteOh I forgot. He's a General. General Howard Moses. Cat.
