Arbitrary Dates, 12/31/06 0r 1/1/07 Is there a difference? Does the New year make you wiser?
Richer? Full of promise or just hung over? Fifty two times a year it’s a new week do you resolve to change your life? Twelve times a year there is a new month. Is there a new you? “St. Peter don’t ya call cause I can’t go I owe my soul to the Company Store.”
Norwich small business took another hit today as Bee Bees Closed. Forty years [I think that’s how long they were there] at the Norwichtown Mall, No more Omlettes for me. I went and had one more took some photo’s chatted with the regulars. It was sad stiff upper lip and smile from waitresses but…. “how late are you open today?” “Till we run out of burgers sometime between 5 and 8pm” was the reply. The mall has new owners almost no tenents and a bulldozer to supersize it to a new and improved Vanilla Paradise. Latte Latte Grande. enjoy pjc

Uncle Kens Drive In Formerly in Willimantic, like Democracy it did not re-open, and the franchise in Iraq isn’t doing well for the poor in Iraq or Willimantic or anywhere in the USA.
But Exxon is doing quite nicely.
Todays news. Minimum wage hasn’t gone up in a decade? And now the Democans who were in power for four of those years are going to do something other than cast blame and have their dick’s licked. I’ll believe it when I see it! How much has the CEO pay rate increased in that decade? Maybe we can ask Senator Minotaur from Connecticut. You know him as the Senator without a party or whoever offers the most for HIM is where he votes. Don’t expect a straight answer for a war monger profiteer though. He and all the other Senators got raises in the last decade.

Just a couple things I viewed and read today. Does anyone feel a draft? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061214/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/us_iraq
“And it’s one two three what are we fighting for? Don’t ask me I don’t give a damn next stop is Iran” [Originally from Country Joe and the Fish referring to Vietnam where we as a nation learned nothing]
Now to the Demrocracy Channel for a Congressional hearing. For those of you who don’t know the effects of Depleted Uranium, You do need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows!
