Anti-Gondola Event & Open Thread

It's something of a slow news day, in the Tuesday primary aftermath, so I devoted myself this morning to dismantling the trusty desktop computer and adding a couple of electronic gizmos, rather than scratching through today's news stories for a main article. It's therefore doubtful that I'll be putting up a substantive article before late this afternoon at best, so I've decided to set up an open thread instead.

Pick your topic, folks. Talk about whatever you want to talk about on this thread.

As an aside, I've received word from Descente's Bob Geiger that a student event has been scheduled for today at Weber State University, to discuss the gondola issue; and I'm planning to drop in on it myself.

Here's the skinny, as provided by Mr. Geiger:

Again, in the face of overwhelming community support, WSU Professors and Administrators are holding an Anti-Gondola presentation for their Student Body. Don’t be fooled, the Administration is backing this presentation.

12:00 Noon
Room 255 – Wildcat Auditorium
Main Floor of Student Union Building

The presentation has been publicized to the students, but not the community. It is however, open for us to drop in.

The speaker will be Professor Dorsey, Associate Professor and Head of Urban Planning and Development Program for WSU. He is the professor that wrote the “misinformation” article about the UTA study. (By the way, UTA was at the Gondola vote last night as well. They are supportive of putting the Gondola in across the city.)
I'll be there, with my trusty notebook in hand.

I apologize for the late notice. I obviously need to check my email a little more often than I do.

Pick your topic folks. I won't be back until later on today.
