Rain Rain Go Away

Is raining again. I heard that today makes 20 out of the last 25 days that it has rained in Bangor. Wow, thats a lot of water. Hows your grass growing these days? No much I'm sure, but rest assured, the sun will be out tomorrow and your lawn will be a foot tall come Sunday. That sounds like a verse from Annie, but its the truth. At least folks with wells shouldnt have to worry about a water drought this summer. Speaking of summer, it was official on Sunday, not that you'd notice by the weather. I'll be heading to camp this Friday to get the water turned on and open up the windows. I'm sure its nice and clammy inside and the fridge has molded up to a tint of dark green. Nothing a little 409 and elbow grease cant handle.

I've watched a few of the City's meetings on TV this past week. Not much happening there. Hal keeps talking about nothing and asking really stupid questions, and Pat, well, she's Pat. Lots of hot air from my boy Gerry as well. At least Dave Neally has done his homework and read the State legislation on excise taxes. Ed Barret says this will sting all the towns and cities in Maine, and the roads will get worse (if thats even possible). Maybe the council should take a break for the summer and catch up on some reading at the beach. God forbid you folks might actually be informed on the issues....

Another BWS Little League season is winding down and you can rest easy knowing that somethings never change. The league is manipulated by certain coaches and the Board of Directors is to lazy to fix it. Someday, Little League in Bangor West will be about educating kids to play proper fundamentals, and set up a feeder program for the High School. But sadly, this isnt the day. I hope I actually live long enough to see it happen. Until then, most BHS ball players will come from the Bangor East program.

One last note, It rained for 40 days during Noahs time, so were still only half-way there. Might be good to get started on the Ark and gathering up a few animals. I've got a couple of cats to donate......Till next time, Go Sox!
