HolyC - Though the Lazy C Dungeon is mentioned collectively as a group, and Goldie mentions a couple of us as being reasonable types, Goldie and old Lew have a bead on just one person.
"Of course there are, Goldie. Not everybody is a blind ideologue like Crapola, who seems to feel that is their private domain to rule."
"I got a kick out of crapola’s rant today regarding your “defection,” or is it “treason?”
"Somebody is quite delusional it seems"
"Goldie, latest I saw is crapola indicating all is forgiven with you, just as soon as you realize the error of your ways, LOL"
"I guess it feels the Dungeon is its private domain?"
I suppose Editor Lou is finding this amusing - the two most vocal groups of outcasts from the local mainstream are throwing rocks at each other.
Sometimes another approach is better. Perhaps a little of what we used to call street theater? Abby H might have gotten a group and chanted the following during prayer time.
Richard Carson says Benton was a horrible choice for the job, and is on the recall bandwagon for M&M. At the same time, he says concerning leaving his job in 2007 as Director of Community development "I left because of escalating political cronyism, development industry influence-peddling and just plain incompetent elected officials."
2007 was before either Mielke or Madore.
So - as has been maintained by others - Is what M&M did just more business as usual? If so, that was a Democratic Board most of the time Dist 1 was Betty Sue Morris (listed as Indep), Dist 2 Judt Stanton (D) 2000-2004, Marcus Boldt (R) 2004-2008, Dist 3 Pridemore (D) to 2004 and Stuart (listed as Indep) to now.
Anyone know whether Richard Carson, Director of Clark County Community Development from '99 to '07, has an axe to grind? He ripped Liz Hovde for her "day late dollar short" article yesterday in The Oregonian, so I looked him up. He's got an impressive resume, but I also see he's a favorite of Victoria Taft (conservative radio host and Lew Waters' friend in Portland). He claims this cronyism has been bad for some time - that it's one of the things that led him to resign.
Egging is a lost art - throwing them to break and dry on something is amateurish. I was taught the proper way to egg by an old retired school teacher in Arlington VA when I lived there in the mid 60s. This was when the Civil Rights movement had their Resurrection City at the Reflecting Pool in early '68. I was out finishing delivering my Post route, and met up with my brother and friend on my way home. We saw these guys in brown uniforms walking the streets putting flyers on cars. A closer look turned up the Boat Ticket Back To Africa and Coon Lagoon stuff we'd heard about. The old retired elementary school teacher who lived in our neighborhood was out for her early a.m. walk and came up - told us this stuff was filth, etc. OK - No problem with that (we knew better than to argue with her anyhow). This lady knew we were rowdies (what they used to call borderline hooligans) and she proceeded to put our talents to work. George Lincoln Rockwell, American Nazi Party, had been killed a year earlier. Those guys passing out the flyers were his group. They were holding a commemorative rally at the little strip mall laundromat where he was shot a couple of miles down Wilson Blvd in a couple of weeks - to remember Rockwell and to rail about the N----s. She gave us a couple of dozen eggs - she said they were old and said put them in the sun - had to speed up the spoiling process. When they were having their little get together, we went hauling past on our bikes and tossed the eggs into the lot where they were. We went back about a half hour later and the place still stunk - and the brown shirt guys were gone.
And that is the proper way to egg. (A few years later I wondered how that old lady knew this, but....)
manthou - The recall meeting at the fire hall? Strange - I was parked at the top of the path to the back lot & had to wait a bit to get out - I didn't see any vehicles going past that were egged. Maybe later after almost everyone left?
Jogging is a waste of time - run or race walk. I'm not sure what you're calling jogging, but if the pace is slow enough that you don't hit your second wind in the first mile then you really aren't accomplishing much over that 3-4 miles you cover. Unless your main purpose is to sniff daisies (what I call clearing the head), that is.
If your pace is about 8 min/mile or slower, might I suggest one of the racewalking alternatives - power or speed walking. You'll get about the same cardio benefit with much less pounding on the joints. (I suggest you study technique a bit, though - you can knock several minutes per mile off by walking correctly. I went from being a 15 per in my first PTC to a 10 per in a year's time by learning about heel to toe, step alignment and proper length of stride.)
But if you insist on running, then add some fartlek work. Sprint from phone pole to phone pole! Get that heart pounding and lungs sucking air! And then lengthen that sprint to about 200 meters - watch your run times improve drastically!
And don't forget the breathing control - might I suggest a good cadence song? Kept me knocking out the miles in my younger days.
OK - I give up - Join the crowd. When I want to find something to get worked up over, it's off to the Huff Post. HolyC, you and your little hipster friends down in P'Town are (once again) responsible for making things rougher on the working man. You need to hop on that scooter, head over to Washougal to pick Mike B up, and the two of you can head downtown and cruise all your hangouts to pass the word - STOP drinking PBR!!! Look, if you guys want to drink something cheap that tastes recycled, we've got a perfectly good Northwest option in Rainier. But you really need to tell those snotty pogues to knock it off and go back to drinking the overpriced microbrews - leave the cheap beer for the working man.
Too bad Steve Marriott couldn't stay away from the drugs - Humble Pie should have been rated up there with Zeppelin as the best of the second wave Brit groups.
