Christmas is here again. Another mad grab for the retail sector. When did high price electronics and crap become the norm? My nephew asked me for a mini-fridge for his bedroom. WTF is that for? To hide his soda from his bother? The thing doesn't have a padlock so he's out of luck on that end. It does however come with a $80 price tag. I told my sis it wasn't happening, but she persisted. " Its on his list!" She kept saying, over and over. Since when do you get everything on your list? I asked for world peace a few years back and never got it. I've been duped!! Bottom line is, the little guys not getting an $80 gift from me, no matter if its on his list or not. I'm a little put out that sis would even expect me to buy that thing, we're not THAT close! This seems to be the wave of the future for baby-boomers. Spend what you don't have on shit that you don't need. What happened to the frugality of our parents, only one generation ago? Spend, spend, spend. That could be our new City of Bangor mission statement as well.
Speaking of the City, I managed to catch Ed Barretts last Council meeting on TV. Do the Councilors realize that they are on TV? I've never seen such a lack of professionalism from some of these losers. Pat Blanchette would not even look at Ed during her good-bye speech. Dave Neally said 2 words, and Gerry Palmer wouldn't even clap at the end. Sue Hawes and Pat were having a little conversation of there own during most of the "farewell" speeches, and were constantly rolling their eyes. This is disgraceful and downright RUDE. These are the same people crafting a new direction for the City? The crazy thing is, these folks have all served multiple terms on the Council, but now have new ideas? Sure you do.......
