After starting the day with "I Got You Babe" for days on end, the radio is at last playing a new tune.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fresh new day in Punxsutawney.
What can we do about the vicious cycle of residents plowing out their driveways and sidewalks into the streets and then the snow plows pushing it right back?
ReplyDeleteResidents are demanding the street plowing but it's so hard to do with parked and driving cars and walkers blocking the routes and nowhere to push the snow.
@4:55 AM - I saw someone do this yesterday in Friendship Heights. Clear their driveway and throw the snow into the street. I honked and they looked right at me; it made me feel better. I don't think there is anything that can be done other than what I did.
ReplyDeleteThese giant snow piles are likely due to Hans Reimer's failed night-life initiative. Ullr the great snow God does not appreciate the moribund Montgomery County economy and is punishing Reimer and all his constituents!
ReplyDeleteThe newspaper boxes were laid down by Bethesda Urban Partnership workers before the storm. They didn't fall down as Robert Dyer falsely indicates. Accuracy is important.
ReplyDeleteWhere does it say they fell down?
DeleteThis is actually standard practice before major storms. I can't believe that Dyer doesn't know this.
ReplyDeletepaperboys weighing in on the coinboxes
ReplyDelete@ 6:10 PM - It would appear that you haven't walked the streets of Bethesda any time recently. There are only a handful of functioning coin-operated news boxes anymore. Currently about 95% of the boxes are free real estate, employment or Spanish language papers.
ReplyDelete6:23 PM The Sentinel is 50 cents. Support local media. We have Dyer and The Sentinel to inform and educate us about what's going on in the county..
ReplyDeleteDyer's blog is free and worth every penny.
ReplyDeleteThe Sentinel is funded by advertisers who don't necessarily want anyone to see their ads, i.e., legal notices.
Appreciat Dyer's informative blog. How does he support the service and the blog though without income? Can we help start a gofundme or donation pool? Would love to help the man.
DeleteRobert,
ReplyDeleteI noticed one of our shadow Bethesda councilmembers, George Leventhal, went missing during the blizzard.
He tweeted on Thursday before the blizzard but didn't re-emerge until Tuesday after the snow event (3 days after the storm ended).
5:36 - Back to work!
ReplyDeleteI will happily contribute a FundMe cup and some seed funding that Dyer can jiggle as he stands outside of Starbucks.
ReplyDeleteBullies. Karma. All you own in this life is your personality and character.
ReplyDeleteLove is love.
9:18 AM - OK,I will make that two FundMe coffee cups with coins to jiggle, so you both can fundraise outside Starbucks. If you're lucky, the folks who work on the second floor might drop a quarter or two.
ReplyDeleteIf Aaron jiggles his ample bosoms outside Starbucks, I'll drop two quarters into his cup...maybe three.
DeleteHaters make me respect cool people more. love is love.
ReplyDeleteNot sure there are any cool people here on either side.
