How to run for City Council in a small town

Posted on 6:24 AM by Unknown
Oops - first mistake - Small CITY!!   Since when does a group of homes containing 5000 residents become a CITY anyway.Today I will hand in my GAB-169 (Nomination Paper for Nonpartisan Office) with 30 signatures.  This is after I filed my GAB-1 (Campaign Registration Statement) and I'll have to submit my GAB-162 (Declaration of Candidacy) and yes, I believe I will bring a hat so I can toss it at someone.   I wonder what the "ring"...

Little Columbus WI in the news AGAIN!!

Posted on 6:38 AM by Unknown
Gotta love Columbus. Let's see.  We had a bank employee stealing money, then we had a computer fix-it place steal hard drives and then the entire computer (next to The Cage), then the Chiropractors Wife allegably was caught using money from the St. Jerome Parish (like hundreds of thousands) to do all sorts of fun things (for her), then someone throwing rat poison onto peoples yards to kill their dogs and then Saturday the City Admin resigned abruptly because his enemy (and many peoples it seems) found some past dirt on him (reasons that...

Draco

OK - here are the official totals I posted for CoCoRaHs who reports to NOAA.Columbus WI - Total storm 21.1 inches with 2.54 inches of Precip..Looking at other reports coming in, most are from southeastern WI.

I'm IN . . . soon.

Posted on 6:15 AM by Unknown
Milo to cat slept on my head last night.  His head was on my head and I had such weird confusing dreams.  Big dogs, fast moving sloths, a bear . . . . . .I bet Milo had confusing dreams also like high school, can't find your locker, late for a test and you don't know where the room is.  Very confusing for a cat.--------------------------Today I pick up papers to run for City Council for the 2nd district.   I'll have to get 20+ signatures. The big news from the City Council last night was the news about American Packaging. ...

Here Comes Draco

Posted on 7:42 AM by Unknown
Winter Storm Draco cometh!This morning the most accurate model has 10 inches for Madison (which seems to be in a little non-snow hole) and 10-12 in Columbus.  But the snow will not be the real problem.  The heaviest snow will be Thursday morning but the problem will be starting noonish with 35-40mph winds creating blizzard conditions.This will be a paralyzing winter storm ----------------------------------------------SO - how is the...

Weather - guns - politics -sports

Posted on 5:45 AM by Unknown
Just trying out some things here!!  I'm not REAL sure what YOU see - I like the "Magazine" look best.  Packers - when trick plays work you look like a genius - when they don't - wow WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!    ------------------------------------WATCH OUT - Winter is on it's way.  According to CIPS, a fairly new research system that takes weather models and compares them to the last 30 years - we got a doozy coming. ...

UnionEd / Rain / Bridgejumper / sigh Droessler

Posted on 6:23 AM by Unknown
Want to congratulate my buddy UnionEd for retiring this week after 30+ years with the State. Feels a little weird doesn't it UnionEd.  BTW - lots of people were feeling bad after you left Tuesday without saying a PROPER goodbye. All your life you look forward to that last day and then when it comes, at least in government work is is so anti-climatic.  "yea, see ya".    Keep in touch.----------------------------  Well now...

Posted on 7:15 AM by Unknown
Interesting things going on in Michigan - sort of like Wisconsin politics except for ALL Unions.  This whole Right to Work deal.   The Republicans do not believe they should have to pay to be in a union that has money going toward the Democrats .Well - I don't believe I should have to merchandise from businesses that are in the Chamber of Commerce because their money goes towards the Republicans.   Statistically being a "right to work" state DOES bring more business to a State.  However those business pay less for...

The SO CALLED Fiscal Cliff

Posted on 6:39 AM by Unknown
I like how all the news people now put "SO CALLED" in front of "Fiscal Cliff" (which is more of a slope in reality). ------------------------------------Been fighting this cold for a while now - thought I had it beat over the weekend but then BAM - Sunday night there it was again but this time a little stronger.  Not a bad cold but one of those  almost colds . The kind that makes sleeping a hassle because you can't breath but once you are...

Walgreens.

Posted on 6:25 AM by Unknown
hmmmm what should I whine and complain about today!Gilda's Club - I'm a little pissed of at Gilda's Club as they are changing the name from Gilda's Club to CANCER SUPPORT COMMUNITY! I'm a cancer survivor as I had a malignant melanoma so I can talk about this with a little knowledge.I think it is a travesty how they can use Gilda Radner's name for their group but THEN come out and say, well, some people don't know who Gilda is so we're going to dump...
