The Editor's Notepod, Tuesday, November 11, 2008

Meriden: High school study. Weird stuff about what the state will and won’t pay for. Auditoriums? Swimming pools? No, but they will pay for outdoor fields? But these are legislative challenges, perhaps. Big issue is where any new facilities would go.

Meriden: Story of Pvt. Washington and his service with the French army during WWI. It’s an interesting and informative piece of history, and one we can hope we have learned from today.

Wallingford: Deer dies on the property. Curious. We’re astonishingly incapable of dealing with wild animals around here, considering how many more of them there are now than there were 30 years ago.

Meriden: I’m happy that the monument boulevard had been spruced up for today. But to consider moving them all? Move them where? Having them where they are, in the original center of town, simply makes sense. How many people, seriously, stop randomly to examine them? Where else might they go? Everywhere important in the city is on a main road. I can’t take this idea very seriously — never mind the expense!

Southington and Meriden: Since when does the DMV feel it necessary to save the kind of penny-ante change that it costs to bring the registration bus here and there around Connecticut? That’s being penny wise and dollar idiotic.

Meriden: the farm for produce and maple syrup on Thorpe Ave. seems like a good choice to me. Wish it were mine!
