You might recall the struggling Mt. Pleasant co-op that wanted to develop a shared solar energy program that I posted about last week (you can read that post HERE). They were hoping to install panels on their properties and share the solar energy between them, while selling excess power to Pepco to help reduce the financial burden of installing these expensive solar panels.

Yikes! While my husband was busy coming up with an excuse to post a near naked woman and I was busy finding retorts… the city council election jumped out of nowhere! I guess that always happens to me for the smaller elections. In Seattle, I’d go to my favorite organizations and newspapers to get endorsements. I don’t think endorsements are done here though.
I was alerted of the coming election by the insert from Ira Roffel. I read the flyer twice and didn’t quite know what to make of it. I couldn’t read through the political talk.
Does anyone want to make a recommendation and say why? I’d appreciate the input!

And it's not just toilets that you can easily use with one of these, but some shops and swimming pool changing rooms have introduced them for disabled customers. The Cambridge Way To Be awards are all about removing obstacles in the way of disabled people.

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend last evening's City Council meeting, which accord to today's New Haven Register article entitled "Restless W. Haven taxpayers wonder: 'Why so many Obstacles?'" was attended by 133 people, crowded into the little City Hall meeting room. Therefore, the discussion below is second hand, and I invite anyone who was there to add to the comments, and I'll pull them up into the top level of the post, if they help enlighten us about the meeting.Residents who attended the meeting were very interested in hearing what Ginsburg and West River Crossing LLC (who have a tentative partnership agreement) had to say about his plan for developing a $225 million housing project in West River Crossing. However, the slideshow that Ginsberg had prepared was not seen, as apparently the City Council had previously contacted the presenters, suggesting an appropriate time for a presentation, other than the City Council meeting. It's not clear if that presentation wo
We walked into daycare at the same time as one of The Mayor's teachers yesterday.
I asked her how he had been doing lately and she said,
"Well... let's just say he's been having some trouble listening lately."
There has been virtually NO LISTENING at House of Joy so I was at least relieved to note that The Mayor treats all the City Council Representatives equally.
The teacher turned to look
