Coming Back.

Again, I have been neglecting my blog spot. No news from me for some time. However, right now some things need to be discussed and I am there. First of all, I want to know how many people know that we humans get oxygen from trees and green space. Then I want to know if we just don't care if we get oxygen. And is there some new thing that we will be breathing in the future instead of oxygen? My reason for questioning this is that I understand that my town, Riverdale Park, wants to turn one of the green spaces at the corner of Route 1 AND East West Highway into a parking lot for future businesses to be developed at that corner. I think that corner needs a big green space due to the volume of traffic and auto fumes that permeate the air there. I don't think the people in the town will care about more parking if they have to drag around their portable oxygen machines to get to the stores. I think they will order on the internet and not need parking at all. I think that our elected officials will be honored, remembered, and worshiped as heros if they bring a better quality of life to the community instead of bigger tax revenues. Its not always about money.
As I drive down the highway and look over at the Beale Circle Park, I notice the high grass, weeds and trash and general neglect. I wonder if this is some political tactic to win the people over to agreeing to a parking lot. I wonder if I could propose to our public works dept. and code enforcement that they need to write our town a ticket to get that grass cut and the weeds removed. I know that our local government would not allow me to maintain my small yard in the same way they are maintaining "our large, community yard". I would like to see a little more action and a little less talking.
On a national level - the president has been caught saying a cuss word and giving a shoulder massage to a lady who wasn't his wife. OOOH... such a bad man. Who is writing these news stories? Is this part of the "dumbing of America"?
