The Anecdotal Life Part.3

Aaargh. That's toothspeak. However, now we know which tooth it is. Had to be the biggest and farthest in the back and they can't get to it til May 11th. Hmmm...
Anne Arundel County struck out by recently winning the worst air in the state award. We figure it's because we house the state legislature which has pretty well blown it this year with ineffectiveness and skullduggery toward its constituents. Nothing will be done toward stopping Baltimore Gas and Electric from making an increase of 72%. They promised to deliver the agony slowly, but the end result to all that is , you still owe every bit. Or in other words, you get to wait til it piles up on you like the bad air.
We used to refer to the legislature as "clueless in Annapolis", but with a few notable exceptions, they know exactly what they are doing. The third strike occurred when they "fixed the teacher's pension". Back in the 70's we had a wonderful pension. Somewhere in the 80's I think , they promised to "fix" it with a new one, which put the fifth richest state in the union second to bottom for the worst pension in United States. Then in the 90's they promised to fix that and conned everyone with another substandard solution. This year they promised to fix that and but left out all teachers hired before 1998. What really blows my mind is why no one is protesting? Why aren't the senior teachers walking out? Obvious answer is, they are trapped. Some nasty people walk the halls of our our Capitol building.
The city of Annapolis got something right at least. They are going to offer free wireless internet. Now that's the way to bring people in. They were talking about it in the Silver Spring dentist's office.
In spite of all my beefs and griefs, we are having the loveliest April. Volvo racing boats were flying by, boat show is on and from my eyrie I have seen some of the most unusual boats. One went by that looked just like the boat in an old children's story called "Little Toot" ; only it was red and white. Better days to us all.
