Somehow I drew the straw to write the first blog post. I guess technically it's the second post, but who's counting? I got the link about being a "blogger" last month and figured this might be fun. I can say whatever I want, no one knows where to throw the rotten eggs...its perfect. I have a blog topic to write about, but before I get there, I was asked to provide some basic information. So here it is:
1. On the right side of the screen there will be a list of all the posts by month and year (I think). You can separate by blogger (there are five of us) or just check out a topic.
2. There's a "blogroll" over there too (or will be soon). Which is like the cast. There are little bios about us over there so hopefully people will share about themselves, too.
3. I'm a Capricorn and like to take long walks in the park (this part is a joke)
With the intro stuff out of the way, I want to get to my first post. Living in this town, it's surprising how much of what goes on is about politics and not about prosperity.
Here's what I want to know. Seems like there were lots of people in the last couple months carrying on every which way from Sunday about the status of the Grim Avenue Post Office. Being the often lazy guy I can be, I admit when I saw the news article in the U-T I was a wee bit irritated. Walking to the Post Office is one of the little pleasures of living in an urban area. Susan Davis' office put out this press release. The more I think about the closure, the less sense it makes.
