Okay. Some of our gentle readers are needling me, and complaining that it's "too quiet here."I'm having trouble understanding why it's so friggin' "quiet," actually. It's YOUR blog, o my gentle Weber County Forum Readers. There's no reason you folks can't "stir the pot" whilst I'm temporarily away.
Remember that "website design" project I talked about last week? It was something I promised some people I'd complete about four months ago. I've put about 50 hours into it in the last four days (including a few nights of NO sleep,) and it's almost done now. I made an executive decision and decided I'd finish it up now, and leave our gentle readers on their own for a coupla days... so's it wouldn't take me another four months to finish it, and disappoint some other people who'd also relied upon me. Web site projects are the ultimate oxymoron. Website design is where "math geeks" try to get in touch with their normally-undeveloped "artistic" side.
Consider this an Open Thread, please, if you'd like. My "other project" is durned-near finished, and then I'll get back to the serious business of exposing Ogden City government hypocrisy here ad nauseum.
In the meantime, I did attend tonight's "public comment session" at my old alma mater, Mount Ogden Junior High School tonight. So mebbe we can make THAT a topic for discussion tonight.
My perception is that poor Dave Harmer is conducting these public discussions, with zero core belief on his part that the Rec Center project is a "good deal" for anyone. Poor old Dave Harmer has become a mere half-hearted shill for the Godfrey "vision." It's a heckuva bad way to end a decent corporate career, for poor old Dave H, I think.
He "walked through" tonight's presentation. When called on the question of whether the Ogden City Council has an adequate "feasibility study" to rely upon, now that the Rec Center has ceased being a "privately financed deal, and has now become a "publicly-backed" project -- the poor guy had no answer at all. His standard retort: "That was before my time." "OK, Dave, thought I. He referred to some half-arsed "study" that was done long ago, where the only input came from the Fatcats principals. Of course he hasn't actually read it himself.
The poor guy was making eyes through the auditorium wall at the Mount Ogden Junior High parking lot all evening, where his silver Porsche Boxster was parked -- the one we taxpayers paid for. Don't think for a minute we didn't.
Did I fail to say I don't blame him?
All Dave wanted to do tonight was cut the meeting short and drive home -- at top speed - with the Blaupunkt 8-speaker stereo turned on full-blast -- possibly to attend to his "trophy" wife. C'mon... guys who drive Boxsters ALWAYS have trophy wives, right?
He knew he was talkin' sh*t tonight.
A quality guy like Dave Harmer won't last long with this neoCON city administration.
He could have retired comfortably WITHOUT the Boxster, I think, and will probably soon wish he'd done just that.
Did any other of our gentle readers attend this meeting, BTW?
Howbout the one Tuesday night?
Did anyone catch the clip of Mitch Moyes Tuesday night on channel 13... running around the council foyer waving his arms and muttering under his breath, in typical political pose?
Comments, anyone?
Take it away, o gentle readers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
