"Can't trust that day."

Remember The Mamas & Papas?

Good lord, they were playing them, the music of that era - my era - down at Speeder & Earl's today.

Stopped in there after paying a visit to McCaffrey Sunoco in the Old Neighborhood at North & North. Woke to a little more than snow today - how about a tire that was going flat, too?

Don't panic, I says to myself. If you make it to McCaffrey's, you'll be OK.

Always feel safe in the hands of Ol' Pat McCaffrey. That's his kisser [left]. One of his boyos, excuse me, highly-skilled mechanics, pulled a nail and slapped a new nozzle or some kind of doo-hickey on it and, while waiting, who stops in for some auto service but veteran arts writer Susan Green and former College Street saloon-keeper Pat Finnigan!

Everybody's got a car in the Age of the Auto, eh?

And it's fair to say yours truly is among those who have contributed a wee bit to paying for Finnigan's as well as McCaffrey's.

Ah, the good old days...my pleasure.

AND...

Gov. Jim Douglas didn't get his "Weekly Public Appearance Schedule" emailed out until 4:58 p.m. this afternoon.

Heck, we missed the Vermont Timber Frames Ribbon-Cutting at 10:30 this morning in Bennington!

"Nobody cuts it better..."

Old Jimbo out cutting another ribbon..wow!! You have it right Peter..no one cuts it better..and no doubt his smiling puss will be in the Bennington Banner!! Jimmy D never stops campaigning and who will the Dems put up against him this time?? No one yet...Pollina?? Give me a break..he is abrasive and unelectable!! What a shame that the majority party cant put up a legitimate candidate. But wait till Jimmy decides not to run anymore..the list of Dems will be long then!!
Shummy and Lady Gaye will continue to alienate the voters in the next legislative session and wont be able to control their Democratic majority. Then they will find some sacraficia lamb to run against the unbeatable Douglas!! Won't that be exciting?? The question is who will it be??
